Wondering if anyone can give me a review of the central shopper (and also what price you got it at). Particularly wondering weight, ease to carry, robustness of leather. Thank you!

I got mine for the Black Friday doorbuster deal @ $99. It's very lightweight. The leather is decent, but no where near as nice as the 1941 line. I carry by the handles just on the crook of my arm. I don't use the longer strap because I'm not crazy about how it looks on me with the handles. Overall it's a pretty easy bag to use. I got one for my mom as well and she hasn't switched out of it yet so I'm thinking she really loves it.

This looks like a SNAD ready to happen! Seller is (likely) unaware that the bag was originally red so she doesn't disclose that's it's been either dyed or shoe-polished!

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Coach-...514411?hash=item56d24dff2b:g:higAAOSwHr9eCULh

From the description:
"This Navy glove tanned leather purse has brass hardware and measures 8" H x 11.5" W x 2 1/2". It has a turn lock closure with a full length interior zipper pocket & a full length open pocket under the front flap.

The Navy leather is soft and well-cared and regularly conditioned. The condition is good with no noticeable flaws. The interior is very clean. Some scratches and very small stains that are unnoticeable. No wear on the the piping. Red stitching around piping.

When the purse flap is open, the interior is deep red with the natural color bleed occurrence of the navy blue and red as pictured. This bleed is not seen when the front purse flap is closed."

It isn't Bonnie Cashin era either. What a shame that someone covered up that beautiful red.

Someone must have told her because she updated the listing.

My money is on more than one person letting her know.

Someone I know got this indicating that the messenger wasn't the only one:

"I was just informed from a viewer about their thoughts of the purse being dyed and I did revise the listing immediately. I was not aware of the dyeing process of this purse, so I just noted that information in the listing. I truly appreciate your input and other viewers insight. Thank you again."

My money is also on more than one person giving her a nudge, especially if one of them warned her that she was wide open for a SNAD claim because she hadn't disclosed the bad dye job.
Just a guess.

Coach has some lovely things on the Coach Italy site that I haven't seen here in the US. And some things that have been around for years at full price. I wonder if they ship stuff back and forth depending on demand and a new market for older stuff?
