Here's the Janice's Legacy I found at Goodwill last week. I think it came out pretty well, considering. It was filthy and dry, and had an ink stain that I only knew about because the blue leeched out on a towel. If this bag were light I don't think it would look very good. Plus it had some dried stuff inside that looked a bit like vomit. What a loser this bag was! However, a long bubble bath and 2 coats of Lexol and 2 of Backrocks did a great job:

Ladies, I know this has nothing to do with Coach bags, but have any of you ever heard of S. T. Dupont? I founda briefcase by this company today at a thrift store. I have researched and researched and not come up with a lot....it is a high end leather good and other luxury items company based in France...They have two US companies, in NJ and NY so I can try calling them on Monday, I suppose..the briefcase seems to be really high end...and perfect inside...I think I read calf leather...some wear on the outside...not bad...wear on corners and a broken latch for the strap....some Ebays sellers were asking $1200.00 for one similar to mine...if mine is authentic....here is a few pics and if anyone has any idea where I can find out any more info, it would be appreciated...
it is like this one, but maybe a bit older: http://www.st-dupont.com/en/catalogue/leather-goods/tourniquet-briefcase-contraste

also, the handle works fine but it has a detachable strap and one end of it appears to be broken - it doesn't stay latched.....

Thanks! Some of those prices - wow! It was originally 15 dollars but they marked it downto 8.00 because of the broken latch. :smile1: I wish I could find somehting on the web just like it but I can't...many similar, newer ones though....The inside is really beautiful...soft, suedey, leather without a blemish!

You might take it to a cobbler or luggage repair shop to see if the latch could be repaired/replaced. A bag that valuable might be worth the expense.

The leather looks yummy and the inside is divine. Since the company is still in business, I would contact them and see if they can recommend someone in your area to repair it, or can you send it to them for repair?
