Speedy, Alma and petit Bucket modeling pics

beautiful!

looking at your pictures many questions come up since I am waiting for my Alma at the moment:
did you let the Alma tan un-protected, unconditioned?
did you use anything on the vachetta?
how old is your Alma?
would you choose it again?

the bucket had the seam replaced, right? was it very broken?

thank you for your patience!

Thanks everyone for your comments. The kids like to play dress up and model mommy's purses.

The Alma was bought used from a trusted LV seller on Ebay. It's over 10 yrs old but in excellent shape. I gave it a good cleaning with Apple cleaner followed by several layers of Apple conditioner. It is my favorite bag (although I like them all).
The bucket was relined last year. The lining was starting to separate from the rim and the vach itself was getting roughed up.
