Happy Birthday & retirement! Your sweet kisslock pouch and Dreamer are beautiful! Enjoy! You might find a matching hangtag on the preloved market. Those heavy hangtags fall off sometimes anyway.

Congrats!

I don’t think the missing hang tag would bother me on the kisslock pouch. A bag missing a tag would annoy me but with the pouch I think I’d be reminded of my retirement every time I looked at the tags! Lol. I vote to keep it :)
 
I will start with the small bag first. I really like this little bag but I am unsure about keeping it because it is flawed.

I am a sucker for coin purses and for kisslock bags and this little cutie has both! But it is missing the 1941 hangtag and it was the only one they had in stock. The SA tried to fix it by adding 2 hangtags in gold and chalk but I'm not sure, maybe I should wait and try and get one that is complete for a good price.

This is the Brass Chalk Flower Print Kisslock Coin Purse 79629 B4 PLF and it retailed for $150 but I got it for $60. What do you think, should I keep it or return it?

The kisslock is cutie and you got a great deal! I wouldn’t worry about the hangtag.

Here is my new bag and there's no chance that I am going to return it because I am crazy about this beautiful purse! I saw it on the Factory Online Sale and I was attracted to it but hesitated because it is made of such delicate materials and light color - but then it sold out quickly online before I made up my mind. So when I saw it at the outlet with my own eyes for an even better price I had to have it! They had a lot of beautiful bags there but this was the only one that really got to me!

It is the Wave Dreamer 36 in Ivory leather and suede with brass hardware. It has pebbled leather and genuine snakeskin patchwork appliques and ivory suede side panels. The style number is 69656 B4 IO and it retailed for $695 but I paid $250.

It's not a practical bag but it seems to be a fitting, frivolous way to celebrate a new chapter in my life and it will be a lovely bag for Easter; but as soon as it gets warm I am taking this bag outside and spraying it with Apple Rain Garde protection!

Thanks for all the well-wishes and kind words, it is an exciting (and a bit scary) change in my life but I am looking forward to enjoying it!

I think I will keep the kisslock coin purse, as an avid rehabber I am used to replacing missing hangtags and it usually doesn't bother me. It's just when the hangtag is "special" like the 1941 tag that I kind of wish that it had the original - but that hangtag sure isn't worth paying an extra $90 or $100 for an intact item!

Many of the bags at the Outlet yesterday were more suited for fall and winter - with colors like oxblood, olive, and other darker colors. That's fine, it's the reason they were deleted and on sale, but I really liked that the Ivory Wave Dreamer 36 will be a good bag for spring and summer - and I am planning to carry it on Easter!

I love the flowers too! Daffodils are my birth flower but it has been too cold here in the Midwest for the spring flowers to start blooming. At the grocery store this weekend they had "Daffodils - 10 stems for $2.50" so I bought 2 bunches of them. They were tightly closed when I bought them but they've opened up beautifully. I love the touch of Spring they bring to this chilly weather and I think they look great with my new goodies!

Congratulations on your retirement and Happy Birthday! You got some lovely items! I also got one of the 1941 kisslocks, mine is the solid lighter pink color (the name escapes me, might be Blossom?) I put Colonil on it and use it in most of all my larger bags and it has stayed in like new condition.

Good to know, I am not familiar with Colonil, which product did you use?

We have daffodils in our yard. They've been blooming for a few weeks. I think they are just about done.

Congratulations on the retirement, happy birthday, and hooray for some nice new items! The wave dreamer was one I had been admiring myself. I hope you enjoy it and everything else in great health!
 
I have even more reasons to celebrate because I got some price adjustments and now I am even happier about my recent Outlet purchases.

I have been monitoring the Outlet prices ever since my shopping trip on Monday, and when I heard that the discount on FP Deletes had increased from 60% to 70% I headed back to the Outlet in Aurora, IL. today.

The FP deletes are now 70% off and everything in Clearance is an extra 20% off, and wallets are also an extra 20% off.

They had Dumbo and Dalmatian charms and some Disney Scarfs. I was very tempted by a Thumper wallet that was only $45 but I passed.

I returned the 2 novelty straps that I had bought on Monday, because they are just too long on me. I got a price adjustment on my lovely Ivory Wave Dreamer 36 (69656) and it dropped from $250 to $208.50 and it had retailed for $695!

My Chalk Ivory Floral Print Kisslock Coin Purse (79629) dropped from $60 to $45 after the price adjustment; it had retailed for $150. I feel better about the missing hangtag now because I got it at such a great price!

I love your teaser reveals! I'm sad that Coach is no longer making those suede kits themselves. The coin purse is adorable. I wouldn't feel too bad about it not having the hangtag since you got such a good deal!

Happy belated Birthday katev and congratulation on all the happy occasions :smile: I love the coin purse and I personally wouldn't mind the hangtag (1941 hangtag are special but I don't think it takes away much from the pretty pouch. I would mind a missing tag if I bought it at FP). Can't wait to see the rest of reveal :biggrin:

The (long and boring, sorry!) saga of the missing 1941 Hangtag on my Flower Print Kisslock Coin Purse 79629 B4 PLF is finally over and with the perfect conclusion.

I decided to give it one more try and I called the other Coach Outlet in my area, the store in Rosemont, IL near ORD. I usually have better luck at the Aurora store but I figured it was worth a shot.

To my delight they had several of these little kisslock coin purses in stock and they all had their original hangtags! I asked them to hold one for me and I returned the injured bag and got a brand, new, pristine coin purse with the appropriate hangtag for 70% off ($45, retailed at $150). So now I am even more pleased with my little purchase! And the Daffodils are still looking pretty good!
