I love the look of the Boulogne. Do you usually carry it around with the zipper open or closed?

Thank you! I do both. I find that most of the time I go around with it open for easier access. The zipper isn't the easiest to open sometimes because it's gotten "wavy." And I don't feel self conscious walking around with the zipper open since the opening is so close together that there's no way things can fall out unless the bag physically flips upside down and even then things are unlikely to fall. I'm in a crossbody/backpack phase lately. Anything hands free and this vintage beauty has helped me. She's got a lot of life left in her. :)

Thanks! This bag is top of my list for my next vintage purchase.

Here’s my girl. My very first LV and she’s 36 years old this year! I got her pre-loved about three weeks ago. She needs a bit of TLC ( Zipper repair, new zipper pull & new lock tab). But other than that I think she has faired pretty well!

ETA: I paid $250 for this bag but now I'm regretting it since learning about Japan sellers and people getting lucky at flea markets. Wahhh. Guess I'll do better the next go-round lol.
 
I am so excited about my new-to-me vintage Speedy 25! I've been working on cleaning her up all day. Still more to do but she's looking good! Her canvas is in perfect condition, there are no odors at all, and did I mention that she's 28 years young? I used to own a Speedy B 30 in DE but sold her because she was just a bit too big. Then I started watching Jerusha on YT and she got me obsessed with the 25. I was debating buying new or vintage. I looked at this forum and you guys convinced me that I had to go vintage.
