DISASTER has struck... Mimco down

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Tragedy has struck my BELOVED Mimco bag.  This bag and I go back to my birthday last year... so it hasn’t been a long time but its been an amazing time.  I fell in love with her the minute I laid eyes on her.  I had been trying to justify a new bag (and where I could get $500 from) – when I received a sale email from Mimco.. and there was my bag as the featured sale item.  40% off.  I raced down the road to the Chapel St store and there she was... lucky last one. JACKPOT.  I love her beautiful khaki green colour – she looks gorgeous with everything and you never have to worry about matching leathers, as she compliments all colourings.  The girl in the shop said ‘It will make a great overnight bag’ – what a waste, this baby is perfect as an every-dayer. She is super sized – which I love, but I fear this has lead to her downfall.  Just as I was heading out for my daily trip to Wendouree Village, my beloved bag tilted alarmingly on my shoulder. I looked down in horror – a strap has snapped out of its holder!  The old saying is true – the larger the bag the more you can fit in it... and this little baby has everything but the kitchen sink.  It just got too much – and she gave way.

Usually I carry super glue around in my bag for such occasions (as I said – she has everything), but alas there was none.  I raced over to the village and snapped some up – and quickly set to work glueing the handle back on.  Yes, I have a strange belief that superglue fixes everything.  I superglue shoes, hems on shorts, loose buttons, basically anything that needs fixing superglue will do the trick.  The only problem is – I am not very careful with said glue.  As is demonstrated in picture 2 – I have since fixed my bag but have now got a nice big superglue patch on the metal.  Lovely.

Looks like our time together Mimco bag may be coming to an end. Sob.

Although... I have been looking for an excuse to buy a taupe Marc Jacobs Stam bag that is lurking around in my watched items......
