If I liked the style, I would give it a try. I would never buy this style without a clear picture of the creed though. I've seen too many fakes.

Black bags that are distessed just don’t call to me. And I carried a small Bleecker backpack on vacation for a week or so and found the straps annoying.Vintage Coach XL Backpack #9943 Rare Leather Bucket Bag Drawstring DISTRESSED | eBay

Now a Sling Bag I can do. Go figure.
Black is a color that recovers easily in a rehab and if it is still faded, it is the easiest to add color. I don't have to worry about not matching.
I don't think I'd use a backpack much. I like having my stuff in front of me at all times.
Me too and it's such a hassle wrestling it off and having to find a surface to rest it on to properly open and access inside.
So I have to ask you, how did you find this listing? General browsing? Checking newly listed? Random? Going through really old stuff?
I don't have to ask why you thought of me
This has heartbreaker written all over it! N/a, but not pinging my radar ...

That color isn't going to come back. For someone who is good with color refresh (not me) it would a good project.

You had 24-48 hrs to ask me that. 5 days later it's gone from my head.
I don't even remember now cuz that's so last month! It probably went like this.. it was in my old likes and the seller had dropped the price which got my attention and looking at my pile thinking and telling myself:
Ooh maybe @Lake Effect does?!?
We obviously yes I do

because I am not busy buying Holy Grail 
Bonnie Cashin or sorting through my collection that includes a Geometric Roll Bag 
Fair enough on the 5 day limit. I was going to ask if your husband recalls
But you did answer my question. You saw it at some point, saved it, yada yada. And the rest … I still love that gif …
That style doesn't do much for me. I don't know how prices are in the UK, but for the US, I think it is kind of expensive.
I think that this is a vintage British Tan Pocket Purse? It's in rough shape and the hardware has a bad case of verdigris, but it appears to be intact - at least from what I can see in the pictures:

Somebody bought this bag, I wish them luck and I hope that they will post the rehab results here on TPF!
Who's feeling ambitious?
