I'm interested in getting a classic flap one day in my life and owning it for my entire life. Based on this forum, everyone always recommends vintage flaps! However I'm curious to get ppl's thoughts!
This question more pertains to bags pre 2000, circa 80's and 90's. How long realistically will a leather last for before it degrades just naturally overtime? Including the stitching on the bag and the stamping.
Say you find a pristine condition or excellent vintage bag, will it last for a while without repairs or is that inevitable? For example I can see a 80's or 90's bag look great now but what about another 30 years (so 60 years in total)? Will it last or is it better to buy a new classic flap or 2010's bag and wear it and own for 30 years?
