Yes! Open 24/7 to all members.

A tea shop would be nice too. Classic China, India, Ceylon and English flavors, ("Earl Grey, hot" in my best Jean-Luc voice), plus mate, redbush and matcha, and a nice selection of herbal and Chai blends too. Decaf for those late-night authentication marathons, and Chamomile for afterwards.

Look at that little tea drinker!
 
Are you specifically looking for a style 9635 Convertible Clutch? Because Goodwill lists the size of this one as "small" and both the turnlock and the strap clip in the side view photo make it look like a smaller bag. It looks more like a Pocket Purse which is 2 inches smaller in both length and height than the Convertible Clutch. The Goodwill bag also looks like it has an outside back pocket and the Convertible Clutch doesn't. It also looks like it has a single piece of leather that forms the base and wraps around both sides, while the Convertible Clutch base has a center seam AND a seam on each corner of the base.

I think it's a Pocket Purse. Compare the proportions and take a close look at the picture of the base of the one you asked about earlier today.
Hmmm - I see what you mean - very similar style. I would like the larger convertible - wish it had a back pocket. I was just now able to send message to the ebay seller requesting more pics and measurements.

May I have an authentication for this Wendie bag?
Thanks!

Regarding your question about the dashes in the creeds - there are a lot of variations as well as plant mistakes. The word "always" is NOT part of Coach's vocabulary. Post here and let us figure it out

And please read the Salearea Guides. I thought I already recommended them and posted the link? If I didn't my apologies.
Thanks - I did see them somewhere before and read. Its all so overwhelming - I have no idea how you all keep it straight!

I am ready to take a break from looking at listings!
So I will gladly encourage any one else too. You know that Wendie is ti-ny, right?? When I saw one irl at a consignment shop I couldn't believe it. It photographs big.
I know. Ugh....I bought it, it's my collection, but I can't use it. Too small. Annoys me big time. I'm shopping for a vintage-ish Mahogany bag that's not as big as a City, but definitely bigger than a Wendie, with 2-3 pockets. Maybe something like a Rambler or Legacy flap. Which I think I had a few months back, but sold. :shocked: :doh:

Convertible Clutch? Court? Station? The Rambler Legacy is nice.
