In my limited experience with ink I've dunked a black bag that I didn't even know had an ink stain and a lot of it came off.....I kept dabbing it with a napkin afterwards and it kept coming off. Obviously an advantage it being black. Of course that wouldn't be the case on a lighter color bag to the same degree.
Good luck with it and please let us see it afterwards!

It's been re-listed if anyone's interested. Long story........

The vintage ones I have been coming across were with the other bags (the ones NOT up front, or easily recognizable as Coach) so I'm glad I went digging through the other purses at the back. I had a feeling I would come across some good finds today. I'm on a buying hiatus though, until I get these bags restored. I'm going out to the Bed, Bath and Beyond tomorrow to pick up some Leather CPR and then I will start the process, and I'm going to do one bag at a time to really learn and enjoy the process. I can't wait to get started!

Item ID: 301143848911

I don't know enough about newer styles to authenticate but I can tell you a little about the bag. I bought the bigger size. It is gorgeous. The glitter python is so pretty. In the larger size, the flap scrunches up a bit when carried on the shoulder, which is why I'm thinking about returning it. I was hoping to be able to find the smaller size, like this one, because maybe since it is not as wide and the strap is longer, that wouldn't be a problem. That said, every time the bag is opened and closed will be putting stress on the python scales and I think that eventually you'll see some wear from that. I don't think it will scratch easily but the scales could lift.

Thank you. That helps. I do like how this one is only on the flap. I am weary of purchasing on ebay but I went to the Coach store and she said they are sold out everywhere including the outlets.

Can't help with the wallet, sorry. The Willis is probably genuine if it says it was made in China, but the previous owner has really butchered the strap.
