Transcript

This is the most expensive bag I have ever bought, and I was eyeing it for two years. And over the summer, I decided I was going to make a little decluttering challenge for myself and this bag was going to be the reward. So I said, as soon as I sell enough items and make the money to buy this bag, then I could buy this bag. Successfully decluttered a lot. I am so excited. I think it is the perfect black simple bag that I can wear during the day and at night. And the reason why I really, really wanted it and I was super excited about it is it's not made of leather, but rather it's made out of cactus leather. So let me show you. This is it. And as you can see, it really looks like leather, but it's not leather. This is made out of cactus. I wish you could feel it. And the inside doesn't have a zipper, it just has a little clasp, like a little magnet. I'm so happy with this purchase. I am obsessed with this bag.
