Good morning,

Please can you review my weekend impulse buy...fuelled by the excitement of the original accessories included.

Where Purchased: EBay UK
Item: Coach Designer Vintage Handbag Camel Suede/Leather with all Original Packing
Seller: danclinkerfish
Item Link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402745425164

Comments: As a pre-1994 bag, I don’t know her style reference, name nor date of manufacture. I think she may be difficult to clean up...? Rehab & Rescue thread will be thoroughly perused.

Many thanks, as always. Stay safe.

Zoe xx

Thank you @Hyacinth that’s great to know. Can’t wait to get my hands on that kit! I’m very grateful for your advice and time, as always. Zoe xx

Now I need a suede kit! What a great buy for 15 quid!!!

Thanks, Hyacinth! I’ll post photos and measurements when I get it. Fingers crossed!

ETA: BTW, we need our own slang for making vintage Coach impulse buys before authentication, usually while not in a good state of mind (drunk, depressed, bored, just plain lazy, etc.). Something that would make the Urban Dictionary! Any ideas anyone?

“Gamthentication”- when you gamble with the authenticity of a bag before having it looked at by the experts because you weren’t in the best state of mind lol

“Becky gamthenticated her bag & now she has to go through the hassle of returning a fake... it was on Poshmark so there’s a pretty good chance she’ll get stuck with it!”

Best I could come up with, lmao
