My mom and grandmother actually have handed down some treasures and I feel so lucky and happy to be the receiver :-)</p> <p>#2 was actually just to show the green bag - but it is from august with the bright Zara blazer which turned out to be a super, super workhorse </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-vintage-bag-and-motg-formula#post-809310 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 08:14:21 +0000 ManidipaM 809310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I &lt;3 your mom's vintage/your new bag! I love your older green bag enough to go green too, but this new-old one is just perfection. It's just the sort of thing I've been looking out for (similar needs: tech, books, lunch!), so excuse my drooling all over it. What a yummy caramel colour! And delightfully roomy while looking all cool and streamlined ... ::sigh:: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-vintage-bag-and-motg-formula#post-809257 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 05:14:32 +0000 Anonymous 809257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your Mom's bag found the perfect new home with you.

I love your cheery jacket and scarf, too! But did you post the wrong photo? It doesn't seem to match the description. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-vintage-bag-and-motg-formula#post-808805 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:24:12 +0000 Anonymous 808805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT bag! I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-vintage-bag-and-motg-formula#post-808798 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:15:11 +0000 harmonica 808798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Claire! </p> <p>Another great thing about the bag is that it still fits when I'm wearing my winter parka or winter coat. Many crossover bags do not and if so, they seem to be so big that they overwhelm petite me. </p> <p>Great to be back too - you fabbers are always on my mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-vintage-bag-and-motg-formula#post-808792 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:11:23 +0000 Anonymous 808792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH. MY. Goodness! I don't know if I have EVER seen a cooler bag. Seriously I love it and I'm so happy it is going to see the light of day once again. Wow. I love the natural leather color and patina as well. Everyone is going to be stopping you to ask you where you got it, lol!</p> <p>Love your bright and happy WIW as well. You look fab; great to see you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-vintage-bag-and-motg-formula#post-808789 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:08:33 +0000 harmonica 808789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really wanted another bag for winter. I've been a bit tired of my green one #2 - though I still love it. </p> <p>I needed the bag to contain a few books, a small laptop and my lunch box (it's common to bring your own homemade lunch here) and preferably be crossover. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but all cheap bags here are just... yes, cheap looking. </p> <p>So I asked my mother and she found this beauty in the back of her closet and handed it down to me. It was bought late 1970's or early 1980's in Greece,she says - but it says Denmark inside - lol. Anyway, I'm totally in love! </p> <p>Everything I love:<br /> - vintage with patina<br /> - has a personal story<br /> - fulfills my needs (storage, crossover, confortable)<br /> - great colour</p> <p>#1 MOTG fomula:<br /> - plaid shirt (this one is flannel and vintage too)<br /> - skinnies (cheap monday)<br /> - booties (these are my winter booties with extra insulation for snow and cold)</p> <p>#2 Green bag + work wear<br /> - denim sheath<br /> - bright blazer<br /> - vintage t-strap shoes<br /> - scarf, belt, necklace and bolero (a bit overload ;-)) </p>
