I love bags. Big bags. The bigger, the better.
I couldn't get over it when I saw this red leather tote in my local thrift store, Stretch Thrift, for a whopping $2.99.
Sure it was beat up as hell - that was exactly the point.
I could just see some hunky Demi-God of a mannie lugging this baby all over the world. What scents and remnants of stories must be lurking in its semi-musty depths?
I couldn't believe it was $2.99.
The leather tag says "El Toro S.A. " and then "Cuero Genuino", Spanish?, I think, for "genuine leather." I couldn't find any info on the internet, but no matter: I know the bag is steeped in history.
I can truly fit all my junk in it, and best part is I can strap it over my shoulder when the going gets tough.
Just look at that. Ain't she a beauty??
It'll match my thrifted burgundy booties from Value Village, yah!
Thanks to my pal Chris Reynolds for snapping pics of moi.
