It's absolutely gorgeous!
As katev says, it is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I'm loving the colour combo of the flannel gray and nickel!
I don't have one.... yet. 
I've pretty much finished this magnificent tangerine Geometric Bag 9043. There are still FAINT spots and the wisest course of action is to ignore them. I do believe they will disappear completely with time and more buffing.
She was already beautiful before... just a bit misshapen from shipping and some slight colour loss:
Here she is in the sun yesterday!
I removed all her hardware and want to mention that it WAS NOT EASY to put it back! The closing flaps require layers of leather to make them stiff enough to function properly. They are double thickness and Coach did not use special hardware with extra long prongs.
I love this bag and she will be a permanent member of my collection!
Thanks for looking!

@LadaZuri that is seriously one of the most gorgeous bags I have seen. I love that color. The simplicity and classic style is what makes Vintage my favorite. So beautiful. I bet it is disgustingly pretty in person.

Thank you both! @LadaZuri you’ll love it even more in person!
Gorgeous! This is a style that's been on my wish list for awhile! I'd love to get it in yellow.I've pretty much finished this magnificent tangerine Geometric Bag 9043. There are still FAINT spots and the wisest course of action is to ignore them.

You're in luck! I recently rehabbed my periwinkle winnie and it came out great!

Coach Color Matching
Hi everyone! It can definitely be a challenge to find the right shade to rehab a bag sometimes (looking at you periwinkle). Made even worse when your closest hobby store doesn't sell many different shades and you're left to rely on online color matching :confused1: So I thought it would be...

Hey all, when putting the hardware back on a Willis/Station/Winnie, do you have the screw heads facing the front or the back?

or is that the front...I mean the flat heads are facing the front and the screw ends the back...

My Rambler’s Legacy was super dry in this pic! I gave it a good conditioning after taking it
Such a beauty!!!
The front... at least that is how my Willis arrived and it is not yet restored.
Yeah, I initially put them back with the little bead end facing the front. I think I like the screw heads at the front better. Off to change them.Such a beauty!!!

I just went back and looked at my “before” pics. Screw heads to the back. I don’t think anyone had removed them. That poor bag used to be a dry, squished, verdigris mess. I doubt it had ever been even remotely rehabbed.
Still, like them better facing front.
