I think that the Shells fob looks good with most metallics because it has gold, silver, and rosegold colors. It is also usually a good choice with bags that have rosegold hardware because they are often difficult to decorate IMO. Here it is on my Sig Khaki Parker Hippie:

one of these is for sale on the site Im trying to sell my bags on....how big is it and whats it like to use if you dont mind me asking

The shells fob? It's very easy to use and clips directly on many hardware options; total length (including the clip) is about 4 inches.

Here's a stock pic of the Shells fob, the style number is 92910. I think it is lovely, one of my favorites.

sorry...was talking about the bag.

The Khaki Op Art Convertible Parker Hippie 13420 is a lovely bag. This was my first Coach bag and I really fell in love with it. The bag is medium-sized and it's light-weight, comfortable, and easy to carry. You can wear it as a shoulder bag or crossbody with the long strap.

The rosegold hardware makes it special and the Parker leather is soft and smushy. If you are interested in a summery, signature bag then I think this is a great choice.

Can anyone help me figure out a way to remove the green tarnish on my latest rehab? This my first time dealing with a bag that has all this greenish oxidation on it. Its on the turn lock and the zipper as seen in my pictures.
I used a q-tip with Brasso on the verdigris crusted zipper of a marketing tote I sold a few months ago. I put a plastic sandwich baggie under the zippper to protect the leather and scrubbed away with the q-tip. It worked really well!
 
Good morning!! Question for you all..... I recently got a chocolate colored Ergo 11285. There is some minor scratching here and there, so I was going to apply Leather CPR. ( I initially cleaned it with a mild soap and damp cloth). Is the Leather CPR an appropriate step just to condition and revitalize the leather, and do I just put it over all outside areas- even the stitching? Wasn’t sure if it would discolor the light stitching? Thank you!!

I don't have any experience with that particular bag, but CPR is usually a good idea. I've never had it change the color of the stitching if the bag was clean. If the CPR lifts some dirt and that rubs onto the stitching it would probably stick there though.
I kind of actually want the CPR to seep into the stitching holes, as the seams are load-bearing and I want the leather to stay supple there in particular to avoid a cheese-wire effect should a stitch pull loose.

Awesome!! Thanks very much! The bag seems pretty clean, but I’ll make sure to keep an eye on the stitching when I get close to those areas as I go, and make sure there’s no dirt transfer!!

it's official, lol, I cannot remember what I have rehabbed. :lol: I never thought I would have this many bags! I found this bag this morning in a box of unfinished rehabs. Since I have become a small purse kinda gal, I am rotating through my small bags! Grocery shopping in style. From 2001, #9768.
I need a female turn lock that is in two pieces, with screws. When I found this at Goodwill, it had the back piece with the holes for the screws and one or two screws. But no front. The screws are MIA now. They started to use these in lined bags. I emailed Coach way back for a replacement. They sent me the standard vintage turnlock. I rescued this little cutie in the fall of 2017, I believe, and the regulars may recall my posts. But I figured out how to MacGuyver it until I can get a replacement.

Considering how squashed and much wear it had, it was fun to clean up. I did not have CPR at the time, so I may dampen it and put some on the worn areas. For now, I just MacGuyver'ed the turnlock piece by putting the piece I have over the male part and closing it.
