Last weekend I visited Antwerp and accidentally stumbled on a vintage schoolbag, similar like I used to have in high school.
Initially I thought it was a remake, because I was at Zappa, a shoe store and not in some kind of second-hand shop, but when I had a closer look I discovered the name of the former owner. Her name 'Ruth Neirinck' was handwritten with marker on the inside. I read it aloud and liked the Belgian sound of it. (Why is it so contagious to talk with a Flemish accent?)
I was thinking where my old schoolbag must have remained and all of a sudden felt so sorry that I didn't keep my own schoolbag.
Ruth's schoolbag still is in perfect condition so I bought and renamed it, like the saleslady suggested.

Nice find - it suits you :)
ReplyDeleteNice vintage schoolbag!
ReplyDeleteI had a school bag like that. Think I still have it somewhere, but it is not in as beautiful a condition as your's (or Ruth's). Nice - I understand why you bought it. Bente
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWat een grap!
ReplyDeleteIk herkende meteen mijn eigen schooltas van toen ik in Tilburg op de bibliotheekacademie zat.
Ook niet bewaard natuurlijk...
Looks fab, very you - I always hate when people say that but what the heck that bag is 'very you'. How was Sissy-Boy?
ReplyDeleteWat een geweldig vindsel!
ReplyDeleteEn wat vonden wij deze verschrikkelijk vroeger! Nu is de nostalgie heerlijk...
ReplyDeleteMijn moeder heeft die tas ook! Alleen volgens mij niet uit haar jeugd, maar uit de tijd dat ze zelf les gaf... Echt grappig! Hij staat je goed! Nog meer leuks gedaan in Antwerpen? (foto's? yes please!)
ReplyDeleteMy friend just showed me a leather bag similar to this one she got in a thrift shop for $8. I was SO shocked.
ReplyDeleteha! ik had dezelfde ;)
