Bought/rehabbed a bag from a Coach exec ... boy do I have a story for you!!!

OMG, that's funny! I'm glad the mess finally came out ok but sheesh! if it had been me there would be an all-in-CAPS mention of a blusher compact explosion left in her FB. I wonder if they decided to recreate the "handbag as football" video at the party using the clutch, and that was the result.

Too funny! That just goes to show you those who are fortunate and perhaps have a lot of free bag "tossed" there way...(couldn't resist) ....possibly don't take care of their bags like we do...lol...the ones searching for deals and finding a way to get a bag we love, and we just might appreciate our bags a little more and wouldn't get blusher all over the inside of our bag! Lol...just a thought

Well, I have to admit that football might actually explain the compact explosion. It was pretty much the bottom quarter-to-third of the lining, pale peach from blusher. No other makeup ... no other obvoius colors from eyeshadow ... no nail polish or lip gloss ... just blush ... and a lot of it.

Well anyway, it's all cleaned up (lining turned inside out, handwashed with Dawn ... the standard rehab path ... then air-dried), and you'd honestly never know anything had happened. The only hint of a past life is some teensy-tinesy sparkles of glitter, presumably from the blusher. In the attached pics below, the sparkles show as tiny white pin-point dots. I actually like the idea ... like I said before, it's a hint of its former life spinning on the dance-floor at Coach's NYC parties.

As you can see, the leather's beautiful. No scratches, nice and soft ... all I did was wipe it down with a damp cloth. Hangtag was missing, so I used a spare, small silver one I had. Also took a pic with my shells fob ... gosh I like that combo.

I actually haven't figured out *what* to put down as feedback. I'm still just awash in relief that it arrived, shock at my discovery of who the seller was, and somewhere between shock and hilarity when I found the blush.

Pretty bag though...lining looks "blush" free on this end! Lol

A good sticky lint roller will remove some or all of the glitter. But even better is clear packing tape....you know, the giant scotch tape kind. It really gets it all off and out of the fabric weave.

Beautiful bag, but wow!! Did the listing say the bag had issues with the lining?

It is an interesting story for sure, but the seller doesn't seem very high on the ethics ladder if she didn't note some cosmetic damage to the lining.

Congrats on the Black clutch!!!
Sorry to hear about the "pain"/problem to get your new clutch!
Still don't understand some people ... wouldn't you want your Coach items nice and neat and packaged well so they will sell?? Obviously, some people don't care!!
I am glad that you were able to get the blush out of the lining!
Enjoy!!!
