Right now it has a cheap replacement zipper pull. I don't know why it makes the bag feel incomplete to me. I added a picture of the zipper pull on a different bag for reference.

Now I see what you mean. I bet it would be hard to find the correct replacement piece unless you bought a trashed bag for the parts.
If you have a local custom order leather shop, even just an leather craft hobbyist, bring the bag in and I am sure they can custom make that zipper pull for you. Just check the price with them first, some leather smith charge really high price.
ETA: maybe not if that turn lock is odd size and shape, may not have the correct hardware for it

I would contact Coach & see if they might have a replacement zipper pull that could work? I know there’s a slim chance but it wouldn’t hurt to ask
I bet they would require you to bring it in for repair and they wouldn't be able to tell you in advance if they can fix it. However, it would probably be cheaper than paying someone to make a custom one for you.I would contact Coach & see if they might have a replacement zipper pull that could work?

I think their repairs department is still closed. It’s been 8 months & Im still waiting for replacement hangtags that I don’t even need anymore lmao
That's what I was thinking, too. I'll have to keep an eye out for one, but most are still priced higher than I would pay just to part out. I thought I got a good deal on this one until it arrived. Lesson learned to look at the zipper pulls, but the pictures didn't show the corner wear.
Thank you, whateve, LunaSilver, and Coachaddict4020!
I just checked yesterday and looks like the cost for repair has gone up. It used to be $35 to send it in and now it says $45-$110! You could probably find another bag itself for $110!
They can't tell you in the store whether they can be repaired. It has to go to the repair department for them to evaluate and decide.
I requested 3 years ago and still waiting for hangtags!
I know, I've sent things in before when it was cheaper and when the SAs could waive the cost.
Damn girl!! With me they have the pandemic excuse but for you?!?!
Im only missing a hangtag for 1 bag that’s on its way to me right now & I doubt Ill find a matching one as it’s very likely RUST!!! 
(Or just extremely patina’d british tan with my luck lmao!)eta: even if my hangtags never come, I don’t really mind. The new metal ones don’t really match vintage coach bags well. I love the look of the vintage metal ones, not these new, super smooth ones lol

Thank you very much for the reply. I'm going to give the blackrocks a shot with the technique you suggested. Thank you!
Thanks for your input. I think I'll stick with the Blackrocks since I am looking for a sheen. Thank you!
