I believe a lot of people were and I was actually surprised she accepted my $40 offer. Lol.
Wow! Beautiful! The hardware is gleaming!
Great - I'll post my three I've done as my first dive into this world!
First here is a Coach City bag I got on Posh - there was a case opened as the seller didn't disclose strap damage (long story) but I'm happy overall with my first go at it. The blackrocks is a little sticky still despite my major buffing but I'm hoping that dissipates over time.

Thanks! It better be, I used a whole packet of q-tips, lol.
Here's my second and third go at it. It's glaringly obvious I need to now locate brasso and start trying to learn how to take off the hardware.
I have no recollection of when I picked this up. I think it was 4 years ago the last time the Coach bug hit me hard and never got touched. I had one failed rehab and gave up hope. I love the court bag so I'm anxious to try this style and see if it fits life. The pen marks on the inside lifted a little but the dark stains on the front exasperated.

The Red Legacy Zip graciously authenticated by Whateve recently (thank you!) had a bad stain on the bottom so it looks MUCH better. I'm glad to test this style and see if it is a good fit for me. The blackrocks is super sticky on this one so I'm hoping the hot weather here will help it settle in.
I also need to learn how to address the stains on the straps from the buckle. Each new bag is a learning opportunity.
Thank you all for your help along the way! ❤️

rubbing alcohol - that’s what I do on clothes too that works. I used a quip and tried to be precise
Nice job. BT is such a tricky beast. I’m impressed that you got the pen stains out. I’d call it a win.
Your bag looks great! Regarding verdigris from the brass buckle, I have had some luck with a dish soap and white Vinegar mix, gently sudsing with a small sponge.
we are on page 1941...what a good page to be on for a Coach thread.

Did the alcohol affect the color of the bag at all? I have a currant Willis with one pen mark on the front of the bag but it's barely noticeable. I'd like to try to remove it but not if there's any chance the color will come off too.
