I work for a small business too. My boss said any bit she saved is now spent and she can't collect unemployment. My friends all own small businesses as well. I'm trying to help them out when and where I can because most of them are sole female proprietor operations.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I feel you ladies. I have been off for almost 8 weeks now and I will be off until at least middle/end of June. I'm a hairstylist and can not go back to work until our county enters the "green phase" of reopening. I had SO many kinks getting unemployment started and trying to get through to ask questions was damn near impossible. Stimulus hasn't arrived yet but mine basically went back to the government to cover income tax :rolleyes:
The additional 600 FINALLY is coming in thankfully on opposite weeks that Unemployment is. I am making slightly more on unemployment with the extra 600...but man oh man am I ready to get back to work. I'm trying to get inexpensive projects to keep my mind busy because I only have so many mannequin heads to experiment on. And once that hair is cut off, it is OFF.
If you ever need to chat/someone to commiserate with you - message me!
Sending you both hugs (from a socially safe distance:lol:)

Another PA lady! Saw “green” and salon and just knew. I am very lucky in this working in education, don’t get me wrong, but I have seriously had it with Mr. Traffic Light.

Hi and welcome. Warning, lol, I have been physically distancing and going through social withdrawl so I am on a ramble tonight!
On a regular basis, many of us toss around the question of how much do we want to pay for a bag? I had read this from a long time member here and I agree, if you do not have the drive or desire to rehab/refurbish, bags can be found in good condition, and I speak from my own experience of looking at listings on Etsy and eBay, for $100 to $150. Harder to find colors and styles will cost more. Bargains are out there, but will take a bit of time and patience. Bags are constantly being listed. There are always lots of listings for Legacy Zip. The challenge is that often sellers do not usually know the names or style number. Since bags do not always sell at the asking price or starting bid, there are bags that are available for months and months.
Do you know about the Authenticate This thread? I do not recommend buying anything with out some one here authenticating it. Counterfeits abound in online listings, in most styles from the 90s.

Thanks for the great information!! I really appreciate it!! And I totally get the social withdrawal part, although I have still been working (Nursing...great camaraderie ❤️❤️)...so I do get some interaction there!!

And I have used the Authentication thread.....the Authenticators are unbelievably knowledgeable! I just hate to bug them too much.....I know they’re busy and Probably don’t want to see a post from me on a daily basis

Dear @Narnanz, if it isn't too much trouble, could you do me a huge favor and snap a quick photo of your pre-creed Dinky with contents? I'd really appreciate it. :flowers:
Is there a size difference between the grommet spaghetti strap version and the attached strap version?

will do as soon as its light. I only have the one dinky so can only show you that. And its a removable strap.

So pretty even stained. Looks like it has nickel hardward

Yes, I think Currant only came with nickel. The color is absolutely gorgeous in person.
Looking at those stains I think they might turn out to be permanent though. Looks like they altered the leather structure a bit. Then again, I bought my Currant Rambler with a gigantic black streak down the flap, thinking it would be pretty even with the stain. It washed out immediately and left only a very faint trace that might pass for variation in the color.

That would be great!
Do you find the attached strap to be hard to care for? I find so many pics of them online with the strap being pulled away from the bag at the wrong angle and always worry that this would really weaken the leather over time.

Full disclosure, I have not used this bag. This is for my small bag collection lol. I just could not walk past it for $7.50 at a thrift shop. If the bag has not been abused, I do not see a problem with attachment. Very securely done. Pic to follow.
