déjà vu !

My mother had a dress in this very fabric
when I was a kid.  
She got it in Puerto Rico, on vacation with my father.  
My sister and I loved it,
 and my mother used to let us wear it sometimes.  
In my favorite picture of the three of
us, taken by my brother on the beach in Italy,
my sister is in it...

To see this bag in the subway was a powerful experience.
