This is a (fairly short, I promise!) story about some recent bag magic happening in my closet. Last February, I found this bag in a Vancouver resale shop, and my husband bought it for me because true love (the man, and the bag):
I adore the colour, which might just be the perfect neutral, and I like the Teri style a lot. (Truly. I have a red one too.) This baby wasn’t leaving my closet any time soon … But then.
You saw that coming, yes?
But then Adrien mentioned one day that she’d be interested in the Teri if I ever felt like a trade, and it got me thinking. One, Adrien has really stellar bag game; a trade would be guaranteed to bring something amazing into my clutches. Two, this could be an opportunity excuse to try to get a fool’s gold version of my fave Marc by Marc Jacobs bag (the Mag, of course). As long as eBay played nice.
And, lo, it did:
So my Teri went south, and is now hanging out with a much cooler owner, and I recently got this beauty in the mail:
In this game, everyone’s a winner.
Awesome bag swap! I can’t help but comment because MJ was the designer that started my slippery slope into the world of pricey bags and these oldie styles brings a smile to my face. They (MJ, that is) don’t make them like they used to anymore! 🙁
I adore old skool MJ bags! They are so wonderful. None of the newer styles have appealed to me quite as much. The best part is that they’re relatively easy to find for good prices, and the leather is still amazing even years later.
