Update on the bag I was dunking. It's pretty dry now but I'm leaving it to dry for an additional day to make sure there are no damp spots that can lead to mould.
I've decided to dye it black and give it a good conditioning, then put it back in the donation pile. I'm certain it'll be good as new once I'm done with it, but I have 12 black bags so I'd rather release it than keep it.

I'm definitely getting a yellow bag when the right one grabs me. I've posted my goals on the 2021 thread already and in there I said I won't experiment with other brands. If I get a yellow bag, it'll be a vintage Coach, Portland Leather Goods, Hammitt or Massaccessi.
I may wait a few months before actually following through on the yellow bag. I'd like to release a few more from my collection before letting one in, and I already have a lot of colourful bags that I can enjoy until I scratch this particular bag itch.

@whateve Just want to thank you for the info on yellow and bone vintage Coach bags. :tup:
It's a bit of a rabbit hole figuring out which vintage bags are which. For instance, the Penny, Pocket Purse and Dinky all look exactly the same to me! :lol: But it's fun to read now and learn all the styles. I'll post in that thread if I end up with a vintage beauty. :smile:

You're welcome. They are very similar styles. Coach never made a vintage penny, although in some of their recent marketing, they pretend they did. The earliest I remember seeing the name "penny" was around 2012. The pocket purse is a little bigger than the dinky and has a removable strap. The dinky has an attached skinny strap. There was also a similar purse with an inside kisslock that was called a shoulder purse, but when they came out with the recent dinky, I guess they liked the name better than boring "shoulder purse."

You don't really need to know the names. Most sellers don't know what they are selling anyway.

Thanks so much! You've made it all a lot clearer. I don't know how I got lost but, I did. :facepalm:
Really appreciate you sharing all this info. :flowers:

Merry Christmas Pocketfriends!!! In my part of the world, the day will be over in about 4 hours. I did not attend a family dinner last night hosted by a niece, I’m still afraid to mingle, even with family members.

Thanks to all those who shared their thoughts on my oxblood bags. The Mulberry is a favorite, no way I’m letting it go at this time. The gifters of the Coach bag (there are 2 of them), on the other hand, are staff members who just wanted to express their gratitude because I helped them during a difficult time. They did not need to give me something, but they wanted to. So I also cannot let go of the Coach. Maybe I’ll just use them both for now. (Well, actually during this pandemic I’m not using bags much.)

It's terrifying, honestly. Hope you still managed to do something enjoyable for yourself! :hugs:

Very sweet of them to express their gratitude this way, and very kind of of you to help them in the first place! :smile:
Definitely sounds like you should keep the bag and try to enjoy it. :tup:
