That would be one reason. The main reason is for better control. If possible, I want to use the holes that are already there, not punch new ones with my needle. Also when you use the original holes, the needle slides in much easier.
gorgeous soft weather leather? leather aged beautifully? could use a refresh from a leather shop. Correct me if I am wrong here but YIKES! I have a couple Coaches that are a bit long in the tooth but this one should be put to rest!
remind me not to use that site!!!
When I see bags like this, I wonder when did they realize it was too beat up to use anymore? For most of us, that would have been years ago.
It's not the site, it's the seller.
I often "like" to just follow what happens to the bag.. it's like a "watch" list. [emoji16]
OK now, that is dead. Looks like it was actually buried for several months...
The buckles and possibly the interior pocket could be salvaged. I would probably pay $1 for it, plus shipping, if I needed a donor bag or something to practice setting rivets or sewing on.

Rehab pics!
Well, for once I took my own advice regarding light-colored bags and I rehabbed a bag that was already in good shape and didn't need a lot of work - and it came out great! I should listen to myself more often!
I recently picked up a British Tan Shelburne Flap 9038 for $20 at the Goodwill. The bag originally sold for $228 when it was released in 1998.
It was a little dirty and misshapen and the corners were worn, and it was missing the hangtag - but generally it was in very good condition for a bag that is 21 years old.
It was judged genuine by two of our wonderful authenticators @BeenBurned and @whateve; here are the before pics.

Below are after pics of the British Tan Shelburne Flap 9038 from 1998 that I found at Goodwill for $20. It just needed a bath and reshaping, a little conditioner and some Black Rocks, and a new hangtag. Easy peasy!
@whateve kindly shared the catalog page below showing the bag in mahagony which was very helpful because I have seen the name of this bag misspelled.

What kind of sewing machine do you have? I have an industrial singer that I have used for sewing vinyl for upholstering chairs. You'll need special needle and a powerful sewing machine.
