So I have been craving a little color for the summer. I love my vintage collection. It seems I have collected alot of neutrals and dark colors. That challenge is that vintage in colors are few and far between. I was even looking at the large Peyton drawstring in melon/coral on eBay. I see color fading on many of the worn ones. And they were't exactly cheap.
So I found this Ashley Hippie mff at a flea market yesterday for $20. There is a stain with discoloration on the bottom, just left of center. Other wise in good shape. I am quite surprised at the weight of the leather. The weight of this leather rivals my unlined vintage bags. And the deep orange color is amazing. This will help my craving for a spot of color!

I love brass tone over nickel hardware and the hardware is in great shape. The straps are in good shape too, with no cracking on the edge coat.
