Oh you have to use it! Break it in yourselfThat's what it looks like. I used to have a NYC one that was in brand new condition. I couldn't bring myself to use it! I feel more comfortable using bags that have already been broken in.

No, I couldn't do it. I sold it. I still have some 90s accessories that look brand new. I'm not using those either.Oh you have to use it! Break it in yourself. Make your own history with the bag.

Not really. I was at one time. I have a small collection of collectible Coach. Most of what I own, I use. The unused vintage accessories I have are a Coach chunky case(cosmetic) still in the box, 2 skinny cases (flat cosmetic), and a kisslock coin purse. If I used these, they would show it very soon. I love the colors and how perfect they are just the way they are. I have several bags that are also collectible but I use them. They weren't pristine when I got them so I don't mind using them. However, the very old ones I don't use a lot because I don't want to damage them. On resale sites, some of these have gone for insane prices so they seem too valuable to take chances with them. Many of my keychains have never been used but I wouldn't hesitate using them if they looked good as decoration on one of my bags.Are you more into collecting than using, whateve?

Wow Raven what a collection!! I miss the days when vintage Coach bags were everywhere and under $10.View attachment 4700369 View attachment 4700370 View attachment 4700371 View attachment 4700372 So, cleaning out! There is nothing left to do, but re-donate when thrifting continues. I have vintage Coach handbags. A few I will keep, a few I will give to friends and family, some I will donate. You should see my Dooney's.
I started putting my families together, Bottega, Prada, Dior, Longchamp, Burberry, Ferragamo, and Gucci.Wow Raven what a collection!! I miss the days when vintage Coach bags were everywhere and under $10.
This gave me an idea. We should post group pictures of our “families”. Or just collections or most treasured finds we still use.
I couldn't believe I found the blue one and with the wallet.Oh the blue ones...Wow!!
