I might need an intervention. I followed my black Willis with the Court, bought a mahogany Willis because I like the color and was, at that pre CPR point, unhappy with the state of my black one and just now had an offers accepted on a Manor because I thought the Court might be too small. Rehab is addictive and the price of vintage better than some plastic faux leather bag at Kohl’s.

Thanks! I’m not very familiar with the older styles but they’re growing on me [emoji1]
Ah yes! Vintage Coach are like treasures! Diamonds in the rough! I have finally found the motivation to keep going. I finished 3 of the 4 I posted last. I'm a little hesitant about rehabbing the periwinkle lunch box. It has color loss and I'm not looking forward to remedy that. I think it will be hard to touch up. Yesterday I dunked 3 bags. All NYC. They are super thirsty! All have had one coat of leather CPR so far.
My British tan Court feels so stiff right now and has two coats of CPR. She was pretty dry though. Three goes on tonight
This is my foot Court bag before I started.
Overall she looks much better now, still drying, but is very rigid. Hoping to get her soft again. I just ordered hang tags for her and the just ordered Manor.

Poor thing is going to have the nickname Foot Court from now on!
Yes, I did apply it by hand. I don't think I really like the smell, and I think it lingers. I find it similar to mink oil.
Oh!My guess is they stored their bags (original owner) alongside their shoes in the closet, probably in a pile on the floor. That's how things get foot smell.
This makes sense. I don't keep shoes in the closet other than my 1 pair of black heels that I never wear unless I really really want to. Also, as women, our feet always smell like flowers. 
Hee!
Oh wow these colors are gorgeous! Do you know their names? Congrats on another successful rehab! It almost looks red, but is that purple on the right? I've been wanting to ask if you will pretty please someday share all your reds and what they're called? Or have you posted a large version of your avatar so I can drool over all those reds?
I have no idea which is which. I think* they are all supposed to be the same color. Not sure if the official color name burgundy or Oxblood. I think at one point there was a plum. I believe the dye batches varied from time to time. The other experts here can you tell you more. I was mostly hunting "burgundy" when I found these.
My full size photo from my Avatar is here somewhere. I can never remember the post #. So here it is again for your viewing pleasure.
You have a super gorgeous collection!! Would you be willing to say what bags they are? I recognize a couple (Willis & Penny) but would love to know the rest. I especially love the little bag on the top row, far right. And the first bag on the second row (far left). [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]
