oh my god!!??!? is your friend looking for more friends
They're all beautiful!!! A free lunchbox.. i'm shaking 
I don't think the scratches are too deep, just that it looks like it because the dye is lifting off where it was scratched. I've been pressing the dye back down and the scratches look less noticeable, which makes me think I can go over it with paint and it should be able to cover it. Here's a picture after I pressed the dye flakes down. Not perfect, but a bit improved.

I'm going to keep it partly because it's already been a pain getting the bag and party because she's really cute at some angles.. in the right light.. if you squint..
I see what you mean about the way the seller is angling the bag, but he had pictures at different angles that also didn't seem scratched. My guess is that the bag wasn't scratched and sometime after the picture was taken it got all messed up. Which could also be why he lowered the price. Really messed up.
Thank you! I'll keep you guys posted on how it turns out
I bought a camel and white Legacy Spectator Compact Pouch several months ago that is very similar to your court bag. Mine is in pretty good shape except that it has a nasty mark right on the front of the bag! I will be very interested to see the results of your rehab!
Thanks! I never knew this feature existed!You can also bookmark posts, its the little square flag icon next to the post number. Then when you need to go back to that post, you can easily find it in your “bookmarks” tab
I think it was just considered a purse. Here it is in a 1978 catalog.
I imagine it would be super expensive, take a really long time, and not necessarily come out better than you could have done by yourself. Have you considered having them customize the flap by adding flowers and pins to hide the damage? That is very expensive too. I bet you might be able to find someone on etsy who could make a new flap for your bag. It could be the cheapest option.
ETA: Years ago I sent in a few things for repair. One thing they sent back, unrepaired. Another I wanted a leather loop sewn back but they just cut it off. On a Poppy, they replaced a button. It took several months.
I think I've asked this before but has anyone ever applied Renapur to a bag that isn't 100 per cent dry? I think my Ergo is like 95 per cent dry but was too impatient and applied it... it should be fine, right? 
Oh man, that Murphy.
I’ve never seen/heard of an Emmie until now. It’s such a nice shape!
Wow! If these are the bags she didn’t want, what kind of bag is your friend now into??
Love the Organizer Pouch - thanks @whateve for the catalog info.
