Vintage Celine!

Just added the most beautiful vintage Celine messenger bag to my collection!

Everytime I add, I donate, so now the Margaux 15 has a new home. :)

This messenger bag is lambskin, and it's the absolute softest thing I've ever felt in my life. This is a quality of bag that I do not believe gets made anymore, and I've dated it back to 1998-2003. It's in incredible condition and it took me four seconds to decide to purchase it.

The interior is the jacquard Celine print, and the entire thing is an absolute pleasure to carry - the thick leather strap is absolutely everything. It fits my laptop perfectly and I love rubbing the leather. The strap is long and doesn't slide down, so the bag works as a shoulder bag and a cross body.

I paid $890 for this vintage beauty and when I got it home, I gave it a slight wipe down with a slight damp microfiber cloth, going section by section, let it dry fully, and then used a small amount of Sapphir Renovateur on the exterior, and let it fully dry for about 24 hours; once that was done, I lightly brushed with the grain using a horsehair brush, then used a jewelry polishing cloth on the silver hardware (I'm always a gold girlie, so that's new for me) and I've carried it every day since.
