1999 - This bag was very well worn. I tried my hardest to get a clear pic of the creed, this was the best I could do.

I really hate to say this but I don't think it is authentic.

Oh no! Why?! 😭😭😭

Oh no! Why?! 😭😭😭

The creed number font is wrong for the factory. The nines are too rounded. The first thing I noticed was "solid brass" on the buckles. They didn't use solid brass this late. You would be able to tell if it was solid brass because the buckles would be really heavy. The rivets aren't the kind Coach used.

Here are a couple M plant examples for comparison.

One of the things I like to do on bags I’m curious about is do a search of there alpha letter style combo in the AT thread. If nothing comes up, I am suspicious because there must be what, thousands of posts that include that so it is a good way to find a legit one for a comp. Then I do some a search on the plant …
So sorry.

I think you should still carry it. You worked so hard on it, you've bonded.

Hello, so this is a Whitney bag that I thrifted. The bottom is a bit cracked, not too deep. I have leather conditioned it twice and used leather balm. What else could I do?

I was waiting to see if anyone would chime in on this. Cracking is tricky, the surface has been broken or broke down. Is the rest of the bag dry? What is the name of the products you used?

You all are the only ones who will understand my glee over what most would find ugly- look what I just pulled out of a bin at a thrift store!!

She's obviously painted and has wear, but...a Courier! A NYC Courier!

I know the photos are a mess- I'm still in my car 😅🤣

I have a question for the rehabbers here - Is it beneficial to apply multiple coats of blackrock or is the bag as good as it's going to get with the first coat?? Thank You
