What does everyone have on the way?

Me...which I have to get authenticated...fingers crossed....I have a Devon , and made in Italy Beekman I think , a made in Italy cavier leather ...umm...cant remember the name....a small suede kisslock in pink...which is so not like me....and a Leibskind Kayla in a bluey green colour.
I have a legacy satchel, saddle bag, and city bag on the way :biggrin:
 
Soooo. I *really* want to learn to dye bags that are in dire need and bring new life to them. I found a Classic Pouch for very little as a tester. It arrived and I dunked, cleaned and conditioned. The darn thing came back to life so beautifully that there's no way I'm dyeing it. The piping is still dry and I'm working on that but sheesh! One dunk and some Leather Restorer whilst drying and she's so pretty! This bag is not my style but I recognize and appreciate beautiful leather.

I love it! This is the style I'd like to get next. Why don't you like it?

Absolutely nothing! I've got too much work to do cleaning out our spare rooms. I realized I have too much yarn. I need to crochet faster.

Because I'm stubborn and I thought this was a bulky bag. It is not.

It's actually.. quite comfortable as a crossbody..

I'm all about the straps. I pulled this strap off another bag and while it's not the right shade of dark, I have my next project. The dark(er) piping would look great with the right strap that is the same shade as the piping.

Hmmm.

*off to find another strap*..

I usually go for complete contrast when I borrow a strap from another bag.
For my yellow/bone Courier I use my red Patricia's strap and also the red tag...seems to go together.

Haha! I have this very same bag and feel the same way. Just like yours, it’s in such beautiful shape, I can’t bear to let it go. It did start to grow on me a bit when I used it. I think at the time I first got it, I was all about the crossbody. Now that I’m carrying crescents and couriers more, I’m really enjoying the shoulder bags.

I have this bag too! I was indifferent to it when I got it (bought it in a bundle with other bags) and it was so faded and worn - it rehabbed the same way - into the perfect leather bag. I find the leather much lighter weight than some other vintage coach and yet it is really soft and smooshy when conditioned. Very easy to carry as a shoulder bag and I am not generally a shoulder bag person.
