Nice. Especially what appears to be a camel Bleeker front and right. I approve. LOL

I am getting my rehab mojo going. I scored a holy grail bag, navy Shoulder purse, with the kisslock :heart: inside in the fall. It was in good shape, just really dry. I just put Blackrock on it:heart:. Will post pics this week. And remember the little blue Penelope I “rescued”? It needed a female turn lock piece, the newer generation with screws. I requested a new one by email, but Coach sent me the original turnlock set. So I need to follow up on that this week. And then I’d like to clean up a canvas laptop bag my sister gave to my niece.

Cool! And here's a coincidence, I picked up one of your bag's big sister today in black, a Legacy hobo I think it's called, from 2000. It's going to be an easy rehab, just dirty and squashed. I already washed it and it's looking a million times better. No damage, and $8! i know it looks bad but.. not anymore! No after pic yet.

I've always wanted one of those bags with a kisslock inside. Lucky you!

I'm on a Goodwill bender right now as my Goodwill store keeps putting out like 20 Coach bags for the last couple of days.. so mostly they are all recent Signature bags so I'm not interested, but I feel like I just HAVE to go in there everyday just in case some good old leather gets put out. ;)

I know what you mean about a bender. I found my three at one I normally don't go to since it's across town, but I couldn't believe how many Coach bags they had. Last weekend, I found. Kate Spade tote and a Ferragamo at another one. This tells me I need to rotate more :smile: My navy Rambler legacy is soaking up the leather cpr and my new ones will be getting a bath today since @BeenBurned authenticated my finds last night. I think I am in love with the Bleecker :smile:

Thanks so much for the warm welcome Catbird and Tosa. After a lot of reading and research following all the good work being done here I finished my first rehab. It was a really easy job. Black Willis bag in good condition, just a little squashed and a bit dry, but otherwise in great shape. I an so addicted! And I am so thankful for all the information posted here. It was so helpful! Thank you!

Great job! Starting out with a simple rehab is a good way to build skills and confidence. It's a beautiful bag.

Beautiful job! I keep wanting to try a rehab but keep telling myself I have to finish my other projects first. Must be rewarding to see how great it turned out! Congrats! Thanks for sharing! Please share your next one, too!

Well I say just keep going to your Goodwill! I was doing a search of leather Coach on eBay sorted by ending soonist and I saw it an hour and a half before the BIN listing was too end! It was about $50 shipped, which was lower than any I had seen. I felt like the Bag Gods were throwing me a bone. Would love a little collection of these in other colors.

Nice, another Willis being caught and thrown back into circulation! Stuff the daylights out of the nice boxy bag. I have yet to come across a Willis in my thifting.
