Um, I am pretty sure my ex-hippie, prom-gown-sewing, older sister made this bag. In the 70’s**. Co-sign With you on the ridiculous price.

Side note: When I am on this site this week, I am getting the ads for Burberry eye wear. Is it me or are the young female models looking especially constipated? Is that the target market, young constipated females??
I'm thinking about purchasing the Chelsea Crossbody bag, and I might be able to go into a coach boutique sometime early next week. I've never shopped in-store at Coach boutiques before, so I'm wondering is it normal to ask the SA for a brand new bag from the back (if I decide to make a purchase)?
Totally normal, at the boutiques I've bought at, it's standard practice without even asking them to do that.
Yes it’s complimentary and the holiday ribbon and gift tag are adorable! Hopefully the store you are going to have those out already, otherwise it’s the standard brown ribbon. The box is good to store your bag when not in use.
Thank you for this! That's my greatest fear, the regret that I let this one fall through the cracks, especially since I don't get this level of excitement over every bag I see. Those are good tips too to protect the leather.
You're welcome! I use Apple brand rain and stain guard and it works great. I'm sure other brands do too, I just have no experience with them. Google 'handbag raincoat' and see what shows up under images. You could buy or make your own and use all your bags in the winter months too. Btw, have you called Coach yet to see if they have any left in the warehouse? If they aren't on the website anymore, they still may have a few in stock. If they do those should be included in the 30% off sale.
I've bought my wife a chalk-white calf leather Mini Charlie Backpack (F59837 QBCHK) as a gift. I am now wondering what leather-care supplies I should buy her to go with it, especially since she will likely carry it in the rain a bit.
I'm guessing Coach's own Cleaner and Moisturizer products are likely easy picks, but I was also trying to figure out:
1) Whether a water-repellent or protectant (maybe like Wilson's Leather & Suede Protector) might be needed
2) How often each product (cleaner/moisturizer/protectant) might need to be used
I had thought I'd post a new thread asking this question, but once I signed up for an account, I found out I have to post within 5 already-existing threads before I can create a new thread. Therefore, I am posting this question in this thread instead, and hope I'm not too out-of-place doing so.

I would definitely recommend a rain and stain repellant. Especially since that is a chalk backpack. It can also help with color transfer.....blue jeans transferring color to white bags. Everybody has their favorite brands, mine is Apple for cleaner, conditioner (for newer bags) and the rain and stain guard. I have heard Wilson's is good too. How often to use would depend on how much the bag us used. Maybe someone else will chime in on the usage part.
I took the plunge and ordered the purse from Macy's. It's actually 40% off there, but that's good to know about being able to call up Coach's warehouse to see about inventory - I've always just relied on the website and that's that. We'll see if it is just as magical once I get it at home in my hands or not. If I keep it, I put that Apple Rain and Stain in my Amazon list to buy. I've had a couple tragedies with color transfer in the past I'd love to avoid.
