My first plaza bag. How does it look? Please and thank you for an authentication. I think it's the smaller size. Seller's measurements: 9 3/4" x 7 3/4" x 3 1/2" Additional comment: it's got a pretty big split/rip along the side piping. I'll be sharing in the rehab club forum my repairs/rehab on it!

Hi! I picked up a beautiful pebbles leather at my thrift for 12$ a few weeks back. She cleaned up beautifully but for the life of me I can’t figure out what model it is. I think it’s a mini Rowan, but I can’t find an exact listing anywhere that doesn’t look fishy. The leather is lovely and soaked up the leather conditioner so nicely and the findings are seem to be marked appropriately, so nothing makes me feel like it’s a fake but we all know there are good ones out there.

Sorry you were missed.

The bag is fine and the style is a mini Bennett made in 2015.

It's authentic. I believe it is worth it but value is in the eye of the buyer.
I won the bid on this one that you said was authentic. Wondering if you think she needs to be cleaned when i get her. The lady said she is new without tags, and still has the original coach tissue from the showroom. Do you think it still necessary to saddle soap and condition? First time vintage coach buyer here. Thank you

I'd wait until you get her before I would decide. I doubt you'll need to use saddle soap. Possibly a light conditioner. If the leather is supple and smooth, I wouldn't want to do anything to change that. I bought a couple vintage items in new condition and didn't do anything to them. It looks gorgeous in the photos. Check with the folks in the rehab club for more advice.

Please take a look at this bag for me. From what I gather it's a mint green (or aqua?) Waverly bag. Unfortunately these are all the photos the seller added to the listing and there isn't one of the creed. I already took the risk and bought it since it was like 7€. Got it on Mercari so it'll probably take some time until I have with with me and can take more. Are you comfortable concluding anything based on these photos? Many thanks!
