I just received my package from 12 DOD, 1975 Sig Collins in Bordeaux - great color {#emotions_dlg.tt1}, who will join the rest of my 1975 Sig Collins bags (Brown T-Moro, Cobalt, Brown T-Moro/Biscuit Trim and Plum) and Dillen II Medium Pocket Zipper Sac in Bark. Now I knew the Medium Pocket Sac was going to be large because of reviews I'd read previously, and I'm hardly petite at 5'8" but it's HUGE {#emotions_dlg.ohmy} lol! The leather on this one is beautiful with a medium to large pebble grain that is very uniform. So soft and the Bark is a great brown color. At $99.00, this was an incredible deal but the question is, will I use it? Hate to send it back because it really is a well-made example of this bag, the zippers, even the two in front, work well and smoothly.

Glad that the Bordeaux Collins bag doesn't have any "fishy" odor like the one I have in Cobalt. From the day I received it from Dooney, it has never lost it's "scent". I've tried everything I know to try to neutralize the odor but no go. It apparently isn't just me. When I was reading the comments on Dooney's FB page the other day, another person said the same thing about her 1975 Sig bag. I have worn it a few times but I may end up doing a Trade-In with it in the new year.

Hope everyone is happy with their DOD purchases. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!!Smile
