It's more that i'm such a clumsy fool and it was so typical of me to drop it!!! I love it, and I'm sure it'll be much worse in a couple of months. Thanks for the suggestion of the cozy.... might invest in one of those! And yes Sarah... I'm with you on the tour bus!!   I’m not really feeling sorry for myself, of course it’s going to be used… It’s more that i’m such a clumsy fool and it was so typical of me to drop it!!!

I mean, Jay's comments are totally right on: it should be used rather than babied. But it's still sad! And am I the only one who got an immediate, crystal clear image of Jay driving a tour bus??

So many people had so much pristine Louis. You'd think that was impressive, but no... The truly impressive visitors were those who had two or three pieces of Louis Vuitton, but they looked like they had been trashed. Scuffed, marked, torn, tattered, these baggages were truly well-travelled and used as Louis had intended them to be and not the showpieces of luxury so many people today use them for. So take that $100 tamper from Japan and scuff it up. Dent it. Beat it, Tamp it. That's the true decadence...
