It's looks like it is very soft. My one MJ bag (original Natasha) does not have soft leather. I guess that's why I'm hesitant to get another.
Formerly olive HH Havana Hobo. This is one of the originals in really soft lambskin. I knew about the back of the bag
But even the front was in bad shape, missing studs, etc. Washed the bag and used the tarrago shoe cream in a bronzy color. Put a stud here because there was a small hole.
Replaced other studs, honestly been working on this most of the day.

No flash
But my favorite part is the old lining!
Oh and here is the back of the bag now
Seller said it was ink but I don't know. I ended up having to sand it off with very fine grit sandpaper.
Oh and I paid 11.00 plus shipping.

this one isn't particularly soft. pretty durable leather but of course, the pushlocks are easily scratched even when you don't use the pockets
Wow! It looks amazing!
I want one, too!!!I found one that I think is Chalk (white). I wish it was more like stone. White is not easy to wear. I am still deciding if I should buy it or not. Of course, it costs more than $11.
They had a great white called "moonbeam" that was almost pearly and very resistant to dirt if I remember correctly. Really pretty.Wow! It looks amazing!

Oh also, they are the most comfortable, functional hobo I've ever had, and very lightweight!!Wow! It looks amazing!

another beautiful restoration....never seen that lining before
Great pop of color. I used to be obsessed with Moni Moni bags.
OMG, congrats on this!! Did I miss this on the Polene thread? Anyway, I love it!
thanks Antonia
I was in a buying mood so this has satisfied my urge
I hadn't recalled seeing Moni Moni talked about here but searching I did find some chat and Halle Berry carried this bag a lot back in the day
Thanks! This was the hardest one I've done! But it's so rare to find one of the originals with that lining and the long tassel but I worked on it for hours!
Thanks! The first Havana had really nice linings, I was lucky to find this.
