I have several bags that I have made that have been mistaken for VB. I am extremely rough on purses so I don't spend much on them. I'll get purses for a couple bucks at the thrift store so I can use their handles or buckles
. If I ruin a purse I made (along with having all the matching accessories that I make), then I'm not out a bunch of money.
For those that love VB, enjoy them and happy use.
