What "Not RM" bag are you using today?

[sdkitty]

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!

patience and skill paid off

OMG, congrats on this!! Did I miss this on the Polene thread? Anyway, I love it!

Thank you, Antonia! It was a while ago I posted it there.

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.

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.

Oh, I love that lining!

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

I was thinking that hardware looks particularly vulnerable to scratches.

yes, mine is in pretty good shape but may have a couple of scratches...it's very shiny

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.

I've got one in purple. They're nice bags

Mine has 2 pockets on the front too, but also a pocket on each side. Might be taller than yours. If it ships!

has it shipped?

has it shipped?

Nope! I just canceled. It's fine, wasn't crazy about the color anyway.

Oh, I love that lining!

Thanks, I do too!

Le Cabas in Taupe. I love this more than my Nikki bags Can’t believe I feel this way!

Love this!! I've been debating between this color and the chalk. Would you say this taupe runs more grey or more beige?

 

[Shelby33]

has it shipped?

Update, seller didn't see notification. She's selling it to me for 4.00 which she really didn't have to do.

pretty much nothing to lose at that price...this is the MJ bag, right?

Yes

 

[sdkitty]

Yes

you can probably rehab it.....then if you don't like the color, sell? do you every sell bags?
