Is yours navy or black? Even in person I have a tough time distinguishing navy from black so I can’t tell in a pic. Eother way it’s lovely.Yes a metal tag.
Actually typing this just made me laugh because I bought a tabac courier thinking it was British tan and now I am thinking I might have wound up buying a navy Courier thinking it was black lol.
Haha I gave up trying to figure out colors. I do have a navy courier and this one definitely black. I'll post a pic later.
Forgive my somewhat off topic post here, but since we all collect I thought there might be an “answer” here. Has anyone experienced the strange phenomena where something you searched for for years magically turns up at a price you like, you buy it, and then a few days or two weeks later another searched for item pops up, followed by a third?
My Haunted Mansion bag wasn’t a grail but I over paid because I wanted it and had been banned and figured empty credit card, go ahead. Then a victorian banded agate snake pendant turned up. The seller took an offer and layaway so I figured why not. Payments aren’t real high, it will keep me in line. Then a victorian tortoise shell locket complete with chain turned up, asked a few questions, told myself the price while correct was too high right now because of the other things I bought...woke up this morning to the seller making me an offer (I love that ebay does this now) that while I really shouldn’t have taken financially was too good to refuse. So in 1.5 weeks I went from empty credit card to a less than happy big bill coming my way in September lol.
P.s. I hate ebay charging sales tax now. It really will limit my purchases (above story excluded) except for items not taxed in my state, but I rarely by second hand shoes or clothes so most ebay Items I search for like bags and jewelry are taxed

Yup, you keep hunting and you'll find it eventually. Sometimes it takes a long time and like you sometimes there are plenty!Forgive my somewhat off topic post here, but since we all collect I thought there might be an “answer” here.

Congrats! She's a beauty!
Sometimes, I was ready for her to tell me a high price too, but when she said $10 I almost died. Especially knowing what I paid for my other orange daypack. Lol
I have that one too but mine is also in much worse shape. Excellent find!
Does anyone have any recommendations for navy dye? I got this purse for cheap a couple of months ago and the front is really worn compared to the inside (which is why I got it, so I wouldn’t worry about messing it up). The white of the suede is showing on one side and I just want that colored.
Do you mean the white “fringe” around the trim? I would use leather paint and a very thin brush rather than dye to cover that.
Have you tried conditioning it yet?
Yes I have, extensively with leather cpr. the color on the front is dull compared to the inside and has lost its “luster” so to speak.
Here you go: done with the black one. My navy courier is very faded. I'm curiously waiting to see what @BlondieToHell ends up doing to her navy Willis. I too have conditioned and the color is NOT being restored.
