hahahaha! The opening line from Anna Karenina! Do you think that this bag will end up on the train tracks?

I think it's already been on them!
And talking about love on the train tracks, this notebook looks like it might have jumped for them:

Can this poor thing be saved? It seems all the Amazonia GP's are in terrible condition on eBay but this is certainly the worst of them!

I know absolutely zero about Amazonia, but I just gotta say....Hi Brennamom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Found it, this bag was described in the description as beautifully maintained kelly. You be the judge.
Looks like they put it through the washing machine

So I bought a train wreck! I was really wanting a project bag and I believe I will have my hands full with this one 
Its a VN, and has never been treated or restored in any way so I am hoping with a little Doc guidance and a possible trip to the spa, I can bring her out to enjoy the light of day again
I won't receive her till next week, her handles are deplorable (Twilly's?), she is missing 1 screw (I can only assume H can provide a replacement?) she doesn't appear to have EVER been moisturized and has experienced major color loss from rubbing but again, she's VN so I think treating the leather will bring her back from there brink. On the side of it being rescued, she's never been restored, dyed, or even moisturized, she had no holes or worn away leather and is not dry rotted.
I will update in Docs thread upon arrival with before, during, and after shots of progress..
Wish me luck!!
*Oh, I forgot to mention, she is an HAC 32 in VN tag T circle so I believe 1990?
** and this is my first ever H purchase, the restoration will make her all the more special :kiss:
