Square Vintage Tote

This is Japs gorgeous black tote!

It's the YUMMIEST leather ever and an unbelievably comfy bag! It's not TOO delicate. . . I'm not sure on the leather. . . but although it's buttery, it doesn'tfeel uber-delicate.
 
The leather is actually the same as the reissue - isn't that calf?

Swanky - you don't find this tote to be too "pillow-y" and puffy when worn do you? Do both straps stay on the shoulder when carried? I'm so in love with the comfort of the flap that I don't want to sacrifice comfort in my next purchase!

it stays on w/out any problems.... its so easy to carry and not as delicate as it looks... it truly is awesome!!
 
Japs, I love that photo so much I saved it to my hard drive!! I hope I love the dark brown; if not, I'll exchange it for black. I just need a new brown bag soooo badly though.

Beautiful tote! I saw it in the Chanel book at Saks. Is this lambskin? You have to be pretty careful with this bag, is this leather pretty delicate?


I forgot what skin this is, but it is not lambskin and is way more durable . My SA was telling me that it was treated and said that it holds up very well--"nonporous" is how she described it. Unlike my lambskin 2.55, I have no qualms about using my square tote as an everyday bag. It's soft to the touch but sturdy, and the vintage look is awesome.
 
roey, it's pillow-likeness is what I adore! It's not too puffy, the straps, because they're padded are so comfy. I wore it around the boutique for a bit and they didn't slide off my shoulder either. It was the right length and size under my arm as well.

^LOL! I want 2!!!!!!!!
I want burgandy and white SOOO bad!

I know! I want 3--have black and burgandy and want the white but refuse to get one style in 3! Two is bad enough...I wish they made another style in this ligne that was a different shape but still fit nicely over the shoulder...
Maybe the answer will be the Rachel tote from the cloudy line??:shrugs:
I thought it might be the diamond stitch but Japs thinks the type of leather on that one may get dirty too quickly...
