Surprise for the wife

[Wildcat]

I'm going to surprise the wife with this seat for the rear of our tandem. It's a ladies seat that I'm going to recover using one of her old handbags she never uses.

That's a cool idea.

Brave man, touching a woman's purse :lol:

You are stomping in very dangerous territory. If it was my wife, she'd skin me alive for ruining one of her purses. She may not use it, but it may be waiting for something in her mind.

Good luck.

A Vuitton seat would be super cool.....but as has been mentioned, those purses are worth mucho bucks. :shock:

Sell the purse and buy her a new Electra. :mrgreen:

Not that a carry a lot of purses, but looking at the print and the "leather" I dont think that's a legit LV.

But still... Dangerous ground
I'd be buying someone elses old purse from the op-shop to do it

Great idea though.

its not leather, its their own special vinyl. they use it for everything.

I bet its legit, my wife would never carry a forgery..

Go to Goodwill and get a nice leather coat to cut up. Gary

The wife has a dozen of these, this one had a broken strap so actually she gave it to me to use. She bought it at a thrift store for 5 bucks a couple years ago. It couldn't be a real one, but it'll look great on a seat.

Dang! Woulda made for a heck of a story! It's great to surprise the wife isn't it. With a gift or something nice I mean :lol: . She often seems surprised at the things I do.
