What is this cool bag called? If you have already told us I'm sorry.:biggrin:
I picked this bag up at “La Maison Simons”. A Canadian department type store. It’s made in Italy. It’s one of those situations where the store contracts with Italian makers to put the stores own private label in it. Back “In the Day” it used to be pretty common for stores like Holt Renfrew, Saks, Neiman and the like, to do that kind of thing but they don’t seem to anymore. (Not sure why - maybe not cost effective?). Anyway it’s an
Italian-made Canadian bag! lol!
Called “Simons”.

Thanks. I think it is a vegetable tanned leather. (In which case I’ll look forward to it’s aging)
Wait... do vegetable tanned leather age well? I have no idea! I have a fendi bag that is vegetable tanned leather and I was like vs sun tanned :confused1: I also have not used that bag at all so it’s sitting sadly in its dust bag... one of my first designer purchase and way too big and structured for my use now :p

Haha. Veg tanned is tanned with bark and such and takes about 2 months. Chrome tanned and other chemicals is much quicker (days or even hours!) but starts deteriorating from the get go. Veg tanned only improves with age. That’s my understanding anyway.

I’ll bet it’s gorgeous! I’d love to see it! Hint hint
Haha it’s a classic yet interesting design tote and I rarely wear totes!

Here are some photos for you :hugs: the detail and the leather is so nice. I love the different subtle “patterns” on the black leather. Little things that makes it a bit different :)
However I wear a tote (likely for rare work occasions) maybe twice or 3 times a year and I have maybe 3-4 totes including the chanel one so there is minimal chance for outing with this anytime soon :p
