The Suede Bag

Ever get the feeling you need to visit a thrift shop? You wake up with a hunch you'll strike something interesting or rare, and off you go. Anyway, this is how my morning went, and I couldn't be happier to have followed this inkling. Over the next few posts I'll display my haul. First up...

Vintage suede and leather travel bag, only $6.95, to be paired perfectly with my J. Peterman mailbag.

There's a place where fashion art meets product description humor by way of random quality goods in Lexington, Kentucky. What? It's the new J. Peterman catalog, of course.

I strongly suggest you visit the website to see their cool offerings. 

Uncommonly good, indeed. My standard messenger bag is the J. Peterman Counterfeit Mail Bag, an indestructible $300 leather pouch I picked up for $5 at a yard sale.
