My purple sling! In way better condition than I thought it would be, and no fading. It’s definitely a big bag but I love the color and everything about it. I’m currently debating whether to dunk it or not, it does have a stain on the bottom outside of the bag.



gorgeous colour...why not try wearing it for a while and see if the stain will annoy you.

I would dunk it. I don't see much downside. I think it is beautiful and dunking can only make it more beautiful.

Okay, you convinced me :smile: It’s going into a bath tomorrow! I was leaning towards doing it because I want to wash all my bags I get these days but was afraid of messing it up since it’s a color (... a very precious color to me haha) I’ve never dunked before.

I actually just dunked my purple sling, I was afraid initially as well. I put to much CPR on it and it started to get chalky so I gave it a bath. Let me tell you the color became so much richer, I'm glad I dunked. It is a little stiff it needs another coat of renapur but other than that it looks new.

That’s good to know! I hope mine does the same!

Does anybody feel tempted by this (non-authenticated!) Basic Bag? I can't really justify shipping and import duties on another smallish green bag, but...I wants it! Could I live vicariously through one of you? Or maybe you could talk me out of it? Please tell me how impractical it is, how it doesn't fit anything and how the lack of compartments annoys you.

I want the color. Other than that, it's impractical, doesn't fit my needs, and the lack of compartments would annoy me. :biggrin:

It's a Mitchell Zip, style #9968, similar to the Basic Bag #9455.

Thanks for the clarification! Weird that they are pretty much the exact same bag plus some depth/different straps. So...it's a little fatter than the Basic Bag...probably fits a bit more...but I'm sure you're right in that it's impractical, and the lack of compartments seems super annoying! :biggrin:
