It was wonderful to find the vintage Coach thread in that forum and find so much love for vintage Coach and buying preloved. And then to venture out into the forum at large, to threads like this for handbag love, periodWhat a bevy of beauties, Lake Effect!

My fault for the confusion, Lake Effect.
As the thread starter, “Ahoy Polloi” was my rallying cry for any TPF members who have and love bags that are often dismissed out of hand by those devoted solely to luxury designer bags.
And, because very few of us here have five figure annual bag budgets, we might be considered “pinch pennies” in comparison.
In the six years (and counting) since this thread‘s inception, our Island continues to be a “safe harbor” and refuge for bag lovers of all stripes.

The local Community Action Thrift Shop was closed for repairs when I got there.
They plan to reopen next week after the winter storm damage to their roof is repaired.
Hey, the nickel hardware is gorgeous! So much nicer than regular silver.Being around from the first inception, I wish everyone would just get call it what it is, a Fanny pack and move onAnd yes, good for anyone wearing a size small belt on their tiny waist. Yes, go ahead and rub it in and wear a little coin purse on it
My goal for this year is see if I can let go of around a dozen or so. I’ll keep everyone posted. I have a list staring at me on my refrigerator!
Maybe the posts here will jog you to bring them out to play
Gorgeous shade of blue! And it looks like some of the stitching is contrast, with brass hard ware, wow. Those are 3 wins in my book, enjoy. I just acquired a lovely vintage Coach in a deep blue with contrast stitching. I am not holding nickel hardware against it lol.

I thought I would take a little trip back in time! It appears burnished. I prefer brass, as you may know, but this is very nice.
Happy Monday, fellow Islanders! 
USPS just updated me that my “irretrievably lost” Cuir has been found!
It arrived at our regional USPS distribution center overnight and should arrive in the next few days.

That is one pretty bag, Tomsmom!
We have seen a lot of very pretty yellow bags here on the island. Never considered that colour for a bag, but it does look lovely.
Ooooh! Those are pretty!
I hope you get the chance to use them.
It is!My fault for the confusion, Lake Effect.
