Wow katev, you have some gorgeous bags! I love the before and after pictures of all your bags. What a difference!!!
I have gotten a couple from eBay to rehab, but they were all in pretty good condition so other than dunking them to clean and reshape them, not much had to be done. Of course I didn't get the fantastic price I've seen some pay either! While on vacation, I got my husband to stop at every place we passed to look for vintage bags across three states! Guess I hit all the wrong places, someone beat me to them or people kept their vintage Coach bags because I didn't find a single one!Guess I will have to settle for watching you and the other ladies here rehab all these beautiful bags!!!

I know the feeling. Not much in my area either.
However, someone here posted this link and after looking through it I found out that there are more thrift stores in my area than I realized! I'll be hitting some new places soon. If you haven't seen it, check it out. Maybe you'll find new stores you didn't know about, too.
