I paid US $160 and $80 for both of mine shipped. They were colors I really wanted - rust and wine. I had one in ink once. That one was $60 shipped.

I look at any colour other than black. But its wait till next year.
You hear that a lot on this site. A lot.
Pretty bags...so pleased at the condition of the bucket bag.
love love love how the color darkened ever so slightly. sometimes I cant decide whether I want the bag to keep its current color but this is a useful reference! thank you for posting this @Aku_no_Hana !
Here’s my most dramatic before and after. I sent these pics to Thomas at Blackrocks and he posted them on his Instagram. Just goes to show what a rehab can bring back to life. I didn’t even know what color the bag was!!
How in the world and where did that colour come from? so coool!!!!!
ah... unfortunately I am not. I actually only buy bags on GSP bec it is slighlty cheaper than usps. I think it has something to do with lemon laws in tried all avenues with ebay. good thing ai paid thru paypal. paypal escalated my claims with the seller. beware anyone who buys from corgidogstephen. Im much better off rehabbing cheap bags than buying seemingly well maintained bags from him.
on a happier note I have found another bag that needs a good rehab! will post about it soon!!!
wow is that yellow? or camel? that helen is too die for. hard to find too ( or at least hard to find for international buyers) Im so jealous- sometimes I see good deals but the items ate only sold locally.
" item cant be posted to you" ebay says hahahhaha
I know, right?? I think I used 5+ coats of leather cpr. That stuff is magical!
I paid $300 for the one with the brass rings in the strap. Huge mistake! I've never carried it once. It just sits in a dust bag in my dresser drawer.
ETA- there is a rust one? Not the one every seller calls "whiskey"?
I can only imagine what a rich brown it would be! Fingers crossed. Getting a bag in great condition completely spoils me! Please post when you are able. Btw and you may be aware, this came in a larger carry all size. But the lightweight leather is making me pause . . . would have to see it irl .
I too have wondered what kind of recolorant would work. Am wondering if the sheen was almost like a semi-patent leather process.
I'm sorry, I didn't see your post until now. I have never dyed any bags so I don't have any suggestions. I wonder if it would dye the white stitching? Maybe that wouldn't matter if it is so faded that anything would help.
I am sure you and I are not alone in making pricey mistakes? choices? in bag shopping. I foolishly got caught up in a bidding war once upon a time and paid a lot of money for a few bags before I realized there were other bags that would come along. But the good news is moving forward, we find some fabulous bargains (cough cough estate sale leftovers
). Finding a great bag, at any price is always fun. Now I just think a little before hand about what my limit is. I am trying to break a habit of browsing listings, late at night, on a tablet . . , Are you interested in carrying the bag in the drawer again? Maybe you need some time to get reacquainted ? Just a thought . . .

You're welcome! Yes, it darkened a bit because the bag was super super dry.
I'm not sure of the colour...its very mustard.
Got it for a great price..$160 nz shipped.
