Update on my beautiful bag

I wanted to do an update on the amazing bag I got from @norsemanleatherworks since it has been close to two years now since I got it. I would have to go back to see exactly how long it has been but I know it was over a year and a half. Regardless, it is still as beautiful as the day it came in the mail and I still love it.

I wear it as a purse since I carry it to work, and my slacks won’t accommodate a belt, so I use a cheap fake leather purse strap for it. I need to get a real leather one that matches so it doesn’t take away from the beauty, but I never have the time or money. Lol. Anyway, on to the pictures!

Not as pretty with that ugly strap, but damn I still feel my breath catch when I look at it! Revel in its beauty!

I have banged this sucker on so many things. My kids have knocked it to the floor. I have even slammed it in the front door a few times. But look at how the nicks and scratches made it look even better! This is one of the reasons I love leather so much. Worn=better

I am used to carrying a much larger bag. Friends and family tease me and say I carry a suitcase. This is not a large bag. So, I stuff this puppy as full as I can. It takes some work to close it. And I open and close it a LOT. But not a busted seam or messed up hole to be found. The braiding has held up perfectly everywhere! There’s not a single gap or stretched area to be found!

Finally, the detailing. Look at how vibrant the red still is! Looks as perfect as the day I got it! You can see where I scratched right across the flap, but yet no damage to the red!

I am going to still be using this when I’m 90 and loving it just as much as I do now!
