my louis vuitton totally azur (mm size) has been such a great bag. practical for everyday, low maintenance, carries a ton but weighs nothing. i've used it every day since i bought it.
at first the vachette shoulder straps were very light and stiff, but after a few months, the vachette is starting to turn (patina), and the straps are much more soft and flexible, love it.
the rose colored teddy bear is a steiff original, made in germany, limited edition bear - 1,925 pieces worldwide to pay tribute to the original 'rose bear' made in 1925. this bear is so special (to me) and steiff collectors worldwide because of it's history.
in the mid 1920's, pink dye was hard to make and so the rose tint is the "pink" of the times (1920's); the stuffing is kalpak (spell?) - very lightweight material (like lifting air) - and the first time steiff used this material for stuffing rather than wood shavings.
my teddy bear pictured, i've named "rose bear", was purchased by me at the steiff trunk show last month (may). numbered 00849 of 1925 pieces. will be treasured forever.
anyway, just thought i'd share.
xoxo
