You shouldn't have to pay return shipping if it was the seller's fault. If the seller opted in the managed returns, she'll have to pay for it. Even if she didn't, a good seller might pay for the return shipping since it was her fault. Otherwise, you could ask for a partial refund to account for the damage.
I never condition my new bags except for light colors when I'm worried about color transfer. The conditioner provides a layer of protection against color transfer.This probably isn't quite the right place to ask, but should I treat my brand new Phoebe with my Coach conditioner? And how often should I clean it? Thanks!
*edit - Waded through the threads and found what I was looking for.
Good evening everyone. Rehab #2 is done. It's a clutch (9945) from the '70s. The reg no is even glued in.
I don't have a 'before' picture. This thing was so smelly and gross I almost threw it out. It also has a clip-on shoulder strap. The leather is broken to the core in several places. Is there any magic that will save it?

Thank you! I wish all sellers can be cooperative like this! In one case I bought a bag which was listed as excellent in the description, but really it's awful---it really belongs to the garbage can...the seller still has not responded after 2 days after a brief message denying...
Very nice. Pity about the strap. Depending on where it is broken you may be able to get it shortened. Conditioning should soften it up.
As an aside, do the dog leash clips on the straps have small anchors on them?
Also I think bags with glued-in rego numbers are from the early 80s, is that right Whateve?
Great projects please post here afterwards! The first one especially will look amazing when she's done.
PS I'm really loving how active this thread is!
Thank you!! The strap is a bummer though. There are many breaks throughout. I've thought about using surgical glue or even suturing the breaks....either way I don't think it would come out well.
I'm not sure if the anchors are considered big or small. You probably would have a better comparison.
I'm not very good at estimating age on the pre '94 bags. I posted it on the authentication page and I think it was estimated as 70s. I have to check it out.
Thanks!! I'm so excited!! It's like coach rehab Christmas. I'll probably start with the brown one. I've seen pictures of that style and wasn't crazy about it. It's much better in person. It's also much heavier than it looks.
I will absolutely post the afters!! It is great that lots of people are rehabbing !! Most of these bags have plenty of life left.
Thank you both! Here's a paper towel I put in coin purse after the bath. No where else bled.
