Although I'm pretty sure the Coach bag I thrifted today is real, I posted it in the authentication thread, just because I think I might end up selling it since it's not exactly my taste (hence, I want to be 110% sure of its authenticity)... But I believe it's a Bonnie Cashin era purse, so I'm hoping I can clean the bag up and find someone to enjoy it! What do you all think? The bag is in beautiful condition, save for some scratching on the leather. The piping, the interior, and everything else looks wonderful!

That's an awesome bag!! I keep eyeing these and have resisted up to this point since I'm not big on the short handles, but that kisslock pocket always grabs me! Someday I won't be able to help myself and I'll add one of these to the growing collection.

Whateve & I were looking at the older version of that bag in green this weekend. It was green and had the metal coach tag. It was probably about the same age as jessi's green flap bag. Neither one of us got it though. I probably should be relieved.

ooops.....:shame: I think that's the one I may have won....


I saw that bag and died on the spot....was willing to pay a WHOLE LOT to have a match to go with her green sister. I didn't realize you all had found her too.

LOL-congrats!

When I saw that last week I figured others might have found it too, and since you said you were broke and not shopping (or something along those lines) somewhere, and whateve said she was looking at 3 bags-I PM'd asked her if one of them was green.

So she told me her max, and mine was a little higher and so when it hit hers I bid once...so we may have bid you up a bit. Sorry. I probably would have asked you too if something you said somewhere made me think you weren't shopping. Probably a good thing that I'd already spent quite a bit last week so I didn't really able get to go as high as I probably would have otherwise.

Obviously my self control is totally CRAP!!!
I SWEAR......I WASN'T SHOPPING....i was being really really GOOD... til I saw that freakin bag...LOL. I literally had to go and list a bunch of bags on ebay this week so that I could justify getting it after the other two that I'd just bought a few days before that one (& I don't think those two shippers are ever going to send the others btw!!! sheesh the wait is killing me)....

But unlike so many other bags on my wish list that I'd been ignoring like a good girl, I saw that one and thought "what are the chances of finding a matched set like this????"
and because this bag wasn't listed in the traditional way that my normal searches are set up...(In other words, this hadn't shown up on my saved search lists -which all have different keywords that I don't think was in this green bag's auction, like vintage, or Cashin or kisslock etc etc) I just happened to be looking for another green bag style # and this one just popped up with only a day or two left on the auction. No worries about the bid up...If any of you guys had wanted it worse than me and had outbid me I'd have totally understood.

I think if I didn't already have a bag that style I would have gone a lot higher because I LOVE it and have been totally jealous of yours since you first posted it...in fact I had to double check that I wasn't remembering wrong and that you weren't selling yours!

It's kind of like the Post Pouch...after you and I PM'd about it I realized I REALLY wanted it and my max bid was pretty high-needed my Logan's lil sister. I've carried that bag a lot since I've gotten it so even if I had ended up paying my max I would have been OK, but it sold for well under.

These things are gonna happen. :)

Me too! I have one little item that ended and I paid on the 7th that was marked shipped sunday the 15th but still isn't showing tracking info, and one that ended on the 8th that was marked as shipped on the 15th but has only been scanned once-so it shows up way across the country still. That one conceivably could show up tomorrow because sometimes USPS doesn't scan, but still, it took almost a week before they shipped it.

Torture I tell you. And I bought a goofy little bag yesterday and I bet I'll get that one sooner. That's why I was so shocked to get the Pine Kristin. The seller hadn't marked it as shipped and it had only been two days, it didn't even occur to me that it would be on my doorstep Saturday.

So, guess who's NOT getting 5 stars for shipping?

I totally LOVE the pine Kristen btw. Now you've got me looking at those too...heaven help me!
My one seller with the bag I want the MOST, sent me a note with an apology. According to her feedback she is usually a fairly quick shipper but had been away a few days-- and is usually someone who allows her buyers a week to pay. Probably hadn't planned on getting such a quick paymet.
