Just above the hip, boxy shape, no additional zippers or frills, thick leather. And only 20 Euros. I found it at a seconhand market last weekend. Besides the fantastic bargains here's another reason(this is me being moralistic) to get vintage or secondhand clothes; I came accross an astonishing bit of data the other day; in the UK an average person disposes 55 kilo's of clothing and textiles each year. 1 kilo of cotton textile requires 11000 litres of water. Can you do the math? (source: imf)
