I love this leather rucksack/satchel/bag thing, it's just worn in enough to feel like mine.

Bag

But the other week, the buckles broke. In days of yore, that would be an excuse to get a new one, but in the new 'not buying stuff' regime, I took it to a traditonal cobblers and got new buckles fixed.

For just over a tenner.

Not only is nice to keep it now it's reached a great level of patina, it feels more mine than ever.

Good this.

    Wouldn’t it have been more in keeping with the principle if you had mended it yourself rather than buying the services of a repairer.
