Working at a thrift store has its advantages, I see! First pick of all the good stuff. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885938 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:46:02 +0000 Saretta 885938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Awesome deal on a gorgeous bag! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885827 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:46:49 +0000 Lyn D. 885827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Ladies!<br />It was so nice to be able to share my find with you all!<br />Raisin- the pattern gave me pause only because I hadn't seen similar on the internet, and it raised doubts as to the authenticity.<br />Glory- I would be super nervous about machine-washing a handbag- I am glad it worked-out for the leather Fossil find!<br />Krish, I am in Australia, and I volunteer in a Salvation Army (Church owned) thrift store. We don't receive many designer bag donations, so even my Manager thought it was a fake!<br />Jenny, I am not sure about the cost of cleaning, but figure it is probably well worth it.<br />I will get recommendations for a good water-proofer/ protective spray to prevent future staining.<br />DS-thanks so much for the link to the Purse Forum!<br />Happy Day!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885370 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:49:46 +0000 Sara L. 885370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great find! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885364 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:47:42 +0000 dizzys 885364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I believe this bag is authentic. I remember it in the factory a couple of years back. If you have questions about bag rehab or authency check out the girls on " the purse forum"....they can help you. I think your instincts are good though...if its suede, I would take it to the cleaners. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885346 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:40:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 885346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Whoo hoo! &nbsp;Gorgeous. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885345 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:40:03 +0000 Isabel 885345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW. That is beautiful. I wouldn't worry about the Cs. They are rather conspicuous. I thought they were circle designs until I read you post and took a closer look.&nbsp;<br /><br />Great Find.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885297 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:51:32 +0000 JennyK (NC) 885297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fantastic!!! It's so exciting to find something like this! Do you have any idea what it will cost to have it cleaned?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885286 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:35:33 +0000 Jules 885286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yup I too am no fan of the usual patterned logo designs on vinyl whether coach or LV or whatever but this is a different take and just plain fab. Love it, what a find. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885279 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:28:55 +0000 Glory 885279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a terrific find. A recent post here was on a leather Fossil bag that one of the fabbers found at a garage sale. She washed it in the machine and it came out fab.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885260 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:56:11 +0000 Jjsloane 885260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What an amazing find. I'm also not a fan of logo design, but I have no problem with this one - in fact I REALLY like it. Hope it cleans well and you enjoy it thoroughly! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885232 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:21:10 +0000 Raisin 885232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's a lot bigger than the usual "c" Coach pattern, which I like, because it's no so, "look at me, I have a Coach bag". &nbsp;That's great that it will clean up, I mean for $15, it's worth it. &nbsp;You could probably put an hour into cleaning it and sell it for way more if you didn't like it. &nbsp;Love the white/bone/grey colors together. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885223 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:06:56 +0000 krishnidoux 885223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Where do you thrift, you lucky you? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885221 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:05:51 +0000 Anonymous 885221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great find! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885211 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 09:17:15 +0000 harmonica 885211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous bag! What a find! Hurray!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885206 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 09:03:08 +0000 Lyn D. 885206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Denise, the retired dry-cleaner in the store recommended a local dry-cleaner for this. He said I could probably do it myself with luke-warm water, soap and a toothbrush- but as I think this bag is the real deal I will probably go with his suggestion. I don't think it would be with dry-cleaning chemicals though- just with the soap and water and a more experienced operator.<br />Thanks Deborah, AJ, Suz&nbsp;and Ingunn- I will certainly post pics when it is cleaned up! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885205 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 09:02:27 +0000 Suz 885205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How fun!!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885185 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 07:07:39 +0000 Deborah 885185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You did not! &nbsp;That is a stunning bag. &nbsp;Very classy and elegant. &nbsp;Please show us when you have cleaned it up. &nbsp;Wow. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885182 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 07:01:48 +0000 CocoLion 885182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Way to go! &nbsp;Can't wait to see it in action. &nbsp;And I'm curious to see how the leather cleaning goes. &nbsp;How does that work, do you bring it to a dry cleaner or to a cobbler? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885178 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 06:49:08 +0000 AJ 885178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Score!&nbsp; A reward for you volunteer work.&nbsp; : ) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg--just-thrifted-this-coach-bag-for-1500-o#post-885177 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 06:47:53 +0000 Ingunn 885177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great find!
