I can not let this go...but I must
Even though I haven't used it in years, I feel like it is still such a part of me because of all the memories
This is called the Midi Benny Bag made by a smallish artisanal leather worker called Marc Marmel. All his work is handmade in LA, evoking the golden age of travel
Each bag features the cracked Italian calfskin leather and vibrant patterned, hand-designed silk brocade linings that are his hallmark
I love his work because it is so unique - I love the exterior distressing and the complete shock when you open the bag and see this gorgeous silk brocade lining. The juxtaposition gets me every time
Now, know that most of this bags are meant for travel so that while this bag can be used as a daily work bag with a slot to carry a computer, it also works as a travel weekender
This bag sells on his website for $2875
Goodbye (sniff)...
