Looks fantastic!So, I have finished my first rehab project and let me introduce Miss Whitney Satchel:
Her main issues were being out of shape and some wear on corners and handles. I gave her nice long baths and massaged 2 rounds with Apple Quard and 2 with Blackrock, touched up with gloss acrylic paint and puffed. I am quite pleased with my first attempt. Maybe I could reshaped her even better. It was missing the hang tag and all tough I ordered it already over 3 weeks ago, it hasn't arrived yet, so I used one Coach key fob instead and they fit together very well, I think.

daaayuummmn. I have this exact same bag in black..(NYC.) If only I could fix its zipper
and it kinda bugs me when Bonnie's name gets tossed onto stuff when technically only stuff that is signature Bonnie should command that kind of attention.
I love Furla. and if I come across awesome vintage and/or newer bags that scream quality, made in Italy, spain, colombia , brazil, I just BUY. I am an equal opportunity well-made purse purchaser!!!

Hey, good to see you back!! I've been on tpf less and more on some fb pages, except for the Rehab thread!!! I always come back here.
And then this green one only sold for $46. It may not be as old but the color is rarer.daaayuummmn. I have this exact same bag in black..(NYC.) If only I could fix its zipper

Maybe you start adding "Bonnie" to your listings!

Just beautiful! Congrats on your new gorgeous bag
This also shows the fickleness of ebay buyers. She had previously listed this bag for $199 starting bid (somewhere around there) and didn't get bite, if I remember correctly. This was like the perfect storm of people lusting for that bag I guess.
I have found a total of three at mine and two were okay priced, one was way overpriced. I have found some fake siggys...don't count those though
Look at www.goodwill.com and see if your local stores have items up for bid. I really enjoy looking at the Coach bags on this website. Of course, I'm glad my local GW doesn't seem to use it!
me, too Jessi (or I am now)...today when thrifting I came across a beautiful, lucious black leather Furla briefcase/tote - good size....30 dollars at Goodwill...except it had a hole in the bottom I could put my thumb thru! Not going there. I did find another Italian bag...beautiful tan/red shoulder bag..Giannotti and I found an old Mark Cross bag (probably 90's), a Koret bag (to die for reminds me of a Gracie), an old Pierre Cardin burgundy suede and leather wallet and another Furla cosmetic case that looks brand new (of coourse my daughter NEEDS that one too for all of her stuff! I've gotta stop .....
).....Beautiful job - such a nice bag. It is so satisfying when you see that your hard work pays off!!So, I have finished my first rehab project and let me introduce Miss Whitney Satchel:

I am also a big fan of Furla and Italian leather bags. The Shop Housing Works site (a charitable auction site in NYC) recently acquired a lot of NWT and dustbag Furla items and now they have reduced some for clearance. Here is the link, select "Handbags" and then search by "Name" to find the Furla items:
