1) 1970s Etienne Aigner SADDLE Handbag

I could put so many things into this smaller bag and the color was a  Gorgeous Dark Dirty Maroon… Unfortunately for me, the strap tores a little. I informed the seller and they gave me such a prompt refund and even allowed me to keep the bag as a collectors item. Such EXCELLENT AFTER SALES SERVICES.

Love u  Mod Human.

My only problem now is where in the world do I go to fix the torn strap??? arghh…
