Interesting comment about the strap on your shoulder sac. I have my eye on one and was wondering if the strap could be doubled. Now I know!

I love my shoulder sac. It is the perfect size for me. I can't carry a duffle sac as it just looks ridiculously huge on me. This one has a slim shape so it looks much better. It took me a while to get used to the longer drop but now I like it.
I'm drawn to it for the same reason...slimmer profile, smaller size. I'll post here if I win it...my next rehab project.
I wish I could go back in time and buy this very bag - perfect size and perfect color for the 2016 me. The 1983 me didn't buy grey and couldn't have afforded it.
Thank you! It was my first vintage Coach, found by pure luck in a local thrift store for $20. It was in excellent condition but needed reshaping so I dunked it. I was hooked!

It should clean up nicely. I'm not seeing pics of the inside, but if there are no ink spots or mystery stains, it should be a pretty simple rehab. Enjoy!
I have bought the catalogs from that seller. I refer to them often, I only wish there was an index. If I'm looking for a particular bag, I sometimes have to open each individual thumbnail in several catalogs before I find it. It is a great reference.
wow, that shaped back up very well! super excited for my bag to arrive! #fingerscrossed
No, but I'd be curious to see if you come up with something! Maybe you could find some fur to match and glue it on? I think they might have haircalf at some stores that carry leather, like Tandy, then you could dye it to match, and add a patch.Ok no laughing.......any idea how to repair this???? Besides the obvious paint the bare spots to match and make less noticeable?

I'm not sure. It doesn't really match any of the known colors. First picture below shows various NYC "tan" bags that I've rehabbed, and the second pic shows two bags that I definitely would call Putty (the Dinky on the left) and Tabac (the Shoulder Purse on the right), plus color swatches.
