I love my purse very much. It's the perfect size and perfect color, and best of all, I got it for $13. Sadly, I've had it for 4 or 5 years now, and it is not real leather. It's definitely looking worse for wear. Like, BAD.

And a few months ago I tried to find a different purse that I liked as much as this one but nothing really compared. (I realize it's starting to sound like I'm talking about a lover. Yes, I love my purse. No, it does not get to share my bed.) Anyways, the point is I still really love it, and would love to keep it (and would love to not drop $ on a new one). So my question is...should I try to DIY it? This would involve somehow fixing the straps and basically replacing the entire lining (including two side pockets). This would be a lot of DIYing for someone who 1) does not have a ton of free time, and 2) does not have a sewing machine at her disposal. Or is it time to say goodbye to my well-worn purse?
