Joe,

My bag isn't being sold now (and my attempts to post pictures of it failed).

But I thought you'd enjoy this.

This is my bag if you imagine it in black without the large extra front pocket and without the fold over leather cover and buckle.

I took a picture of the broken hardware on one side of the strap to send to the company.

Mine cost quite a bit less than this one because there was less material and labor involved.

BTW, I love this red leather but I'm saving my red leather fetish for the interior of a white car.

Those are nice, I love the red one!

Beautiful bag! I can well imagine yours.

Thanks!

SK, you might like this site. I do!

Joe, I put my bag in a Trader Joe's cloth bag today. I love it when a plan comes together! Lol.

Those contemporary backpacks are really stunning but far to rich for me.

I'd love to have one if Santa Claus dropped it off next Christmas and as long as I could choose the colors.

So they're sending a new "rivit" free of charge.

The vegetable tanned leather is supposed to be cleaned with a wet cloth.

Note to self-- clean the bag.

I cleaned my bag. I washed the Trader Joe's bag. I put my bag back in it and hung it from a hook.

I won't be using my bag as a doorstop again. Lol.
