99 cents for authentic Coach?! Get out!! She's beautiful, too!
Love this thread, Bunny! This would also be a great place to link to those helpful posts about how to rehab and clean up bags, and the wonderful docride thread that Bebepurse linked to in a different thread yesterday.
My latest rescue from Goodwill for 99 cents. Saw it laying on the floor under the purse display. It just needed a good cleaning and conditioninig.

Fabulous find! What are the dimensions of that bag? I think we may be bag siblings because I have a very similar (small) bag in black.
HI....I just found this thread....and ooohh..I love it...I love rescuing old Coaches..purses in general..and if they are dirty..I clean them up.....my latest purchase is a Coach straw basket....which my mom loves....I had always wanted to have one of those.and I finally found one for $8.00 dls. I added some colorful hangtags I had from another purse...and a flower coin purse..and it looks cute.....I will post pics. I love hunting ..digging and finding those Coach purses that get no love....it's all in the thrill of the hunt.
Here are the photos.....

Wow, what a great job. May I ask how you went about repairing the edges to the strap? Do you have a process for replacing/repairing the sealant? Also, the bag doesn't look faded at all in the "after" pic, did you do something to restore the color? Amazing job!
