This side pack has had a customised snip and holes made. I'm pretty short and this doesn't really fit cross body. I didn't know we could snip them like this

That is incredible! Good work!! I'm happy when I can say, I have not bought one this week. After the issues of vintage bags only to be told they explained they're vintage condition when they arrive. I think I might have to do the same
It's not good if you ever want to sell it. I've bought more than one bag without realizing the strap was cut until I got it home. People did it a lot when crossbody was out of fashion.This side pack has had a customised snip and holes made. I'm pretty short and this doesn't really fit cross body.

Yeah coach addiction is not really a spectator sportIt’s not easy. haha! It required me to keep myself from logging in here. Since I logged back in, I found myself on eBay and Etsy looking. I kept on telling myself “I’m just gonna take a peek”. Lol! Who am I kidding?
It wouldn't fit anyone and the structure of the strap isn't great. I don't think I could sell it. That's interesting they did that. On the side pack which doesn't have a removable strap it's super sillyIt's not good if you ever want to sell it. I've bought more than one bag without realizing the strap was cut until I got it home.

I've raised a return or said I will keep the bag with a partial refund. It's still ongoing. It's the universe telling me to stop buyingIf the bag was purchased online and the cut strap was not mentioned in the seller's comments you might have cause to return the bag.
There is nothing customized about that strap - it is simply butchered. I think you should get your money back.This side pack has had a customised snip and holes made. I'm pretty short and this doesn't really fit cross body. I didn't know we could snip them like this![]()
Hello! I saw no one replied to you so I thought I would just give you a basic outline of how to rehab a bag. Your bag seems like it's in good shape so it will probably be an easy rehab.Hi all! New to this forum and so glad I found it! I purchased a bag at Goodwill and the ladies over on the authentication page said it was a Coach bag from the late 70’s or early 80’s. I’ve been skimming through the posts here on this forum and I notice a lot of people say they wash their bags. I’m just wondering if anyone can give me an idea on the process of cleaning my new bag up. It does not have to be perfect as it’s not in horrible shape but I’d like to make it look as nice as possible. And what does everyone use when they say they are washing and conditioning their bag? Thanks in advance and pictures attached

Hi all! I just posted my 1960s double entry swinger (@whateve was gracious
Enough to let me know what the actual name was) in the authentication thread and so now I wanted to come here and ask if anyone has any tips on how to rehab it.
The leather is in pretty nice condition but the metal frame and chains has a lot of color loss, the lining is pulled out of the frame on one side, and a one ball foot needs to be re-attached more securely. I’m assuming the metal used was not solid brass. Considering it looks like the plating or lacquer is gone.
I’m inclined to send it to a specialist, but wanted to get your opinions first!
Some of the pictures are poor but this looks like a vintage red Madison Carlyle 4401, made in Italy, for $40 plus shipping listed on Facebook Marketplace:

I previously rehabbed a red Carlyle and it is one of my favorite bags:

Speaking of creeds fading...mine has almost disappeared in the Rambler..its still drying but do you think it will get better or is this it for the creed? I've never had them completely disappear on all leather bags. It might be a little better once it is dry.forum.purseblog.com
The seller is very adamant about no refunds & continues to deny the condition of the bag. I’ve had to escalate the case to get PayPal to decide. I hope I get my refund too, I feel sick thinking about it.
Any luck yet about getting a refund?
Hello fellow vintage coach lovers! Haven’t been here in a while. I am proud to say, I have not bought a bag since November of last year.@Coachaddict4020, I’m sorry you are dealing with a bad sale. Hope it gets resolved in your favor.
