I have a question. Is the color cardinal more red or coral? It looks coral in the pics. I'm undecided as to cardinal or pink ruby or if I could really justify both.

let this be a lesson never to store bags in your storage shed. Subject to water vapor, and the rest of the elements. My mom stored hers in the attic and kept the closet closed and the leather started cracking. couple of them were all moldy. She now leaves the closet door open believing the leather bags need lots of ventilation but needs to stay dry.That's awful! So sorry to hear! Hugs to you.
Maybe you could still salvage your bags. There's a Coach rehab thread that talks about restoring Coach bags. Maybe the other brands also have rehab threads, too. Good luck!
And on another note. Weee my local outlet is opening sooon!
Hope I'm not too late. My daughter had the bi-color Baby Bennett in the Cardinal/Pink Ruby. Next to the Pink Ruby, the Cardinal looks red-orange. Some of the other bags in store that were just cardinal, looked like a light red, but not light enough with orange undertone to be coral.
Believe me, I have learned my lesson. Opening that trunk and seeing those moldy bags knocked me off my donkey. I've been preaching the gospel of proper storage ever since.
I'm so very sorry! I hope you are able to salvage your vintage bags. You came to the right place to vent. Not only do we understand, but there truly are some rehab experts here. Crossing my fingers...Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I needed to vent in an understanding space.
This has not been my week. First, Monday was 50% off day at the local Unique Thrift. So, I went in and tried to buy all the vintage/classic bags I could. I was in "snatch and grab" mode and found a Taft for $7.50. I always wanted one and regret not buying when they first came out; and when I got home, I saw it's a K3H. Well, I figured you win 'em all. I got some really great bags (3 Coach, a Longchamp, a Brighton, and that Taft) for $50. The other three I got were really nice and I was inspired to break out some of my vintage bags that I bought in High School. So, on Tuesday, I got a strong back and went out the storage shed. I found my storage trunk of bags and when I opened it...my bags were all covered mold. The first Coach I ever bought myself, a Becket zip, looked like a Dalmatian. My slim duffle sac and legacy zip were coated in white mold. I had a Dooney & Bourke Calvary bag and a 90s era MCM (with dustbag) that were affected too. I couldn't believe it. My heart sank. I told my family and they just looked at me. They didn't understand why I was "so upset". I love all my bags, but these bags were some of the first I ever bought myself and it hurt to see them blanketed in white mold. BTW, I'm sensitive to mold. Then, I came here as a refuge and the site won't let me upload my pics.
I just need a hug...
Hi. Is the semi annual sale only on shoes right now? I was looking online last night and there was a sale on various items. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
Does this mean what I think it does?
I believe so. I stopped in FP tonight and they were packing up the SAS bags. Gee, I wonder where they are going...

Thanks for your well wishes. I plan on tackling them tomorrow, since there's supposed to be no rain. It has rained everyday since and because I don't want to work on them inside, I've had to wait. And I've been binge reading rehab threads. So, I should have some pics to share tomorrow. I'm staying positive and the rehab thread has me sooo pumped--I'm ready to take mold down!
