Roots Mini Soft Saddle hand bag

I have been fancying this Mini Soft Saddle Handbag from Roots. I love the vegetable tanned leather and the preppy simplicity of it. Or perhaps it makes me nostalgic for my very first leather handbag that I must have acquired over 25 years ago.

It's a slightly smaller Roots bag from back in the day. I tend to hang on to too many things, but I am glad I hung on to this one! Off to root around for other treasures I have kept!
