Basically, that is what I am doing. I have too many purses. I find one and stick to it, unless there is a special occasion. It's hard to watch purses sit and not be enjoyed. If you don't keep an eye out, they will eventually fall apart from loneliness. I've been finding homes for my some of my Coach and Brahmin bags, so I will continue "downsizing". Thanks Tomsmom.
Believe Narnanz, I will keep some to admire. It's hard to let go.
I manifested this. I was at VV a few days earlier. I saw a Gap bamboo handle handbag. I silently wished it was a Gucci bamboo handle bag... a few days later... $11.99.

That never happens for me!
It will, just concentrate on that one thing you want each time you go thrifting. Then tell yourself, I will find it today. Be positive, don't be defeated, just maintain that positivity. Let us know when it happens.
Saw the $5.99 price tag on this and had no choice, but to buy it. The leather is basically in awesome condition, but the color on the sides is really faded in spots. Raven3766 -How to I clean it up. I know you will know. Anyone else is welcome to chime in too.

Such a great deal! I use a small brush and saddle soap. After, I use Leather CPR. There's also something I've been wanting to try. It's called Feibing's Black Saddle Soap for Leather.
Unless they've reopened, Etinceler is no longer in business. The Chanel ladies are enjoying a well-earned retirement.What a great finding! You should authenticate it. There are reliable online services that will do this for a few dollars. Etinceler is popular here at TPF.
Etinceler Authentication help
Hello, i recently brought a vintage Chanel and received the bag. I wanted to get it authenticated so i paid for Etinceler Authentication service online, by card. However, my email to them was bounced back twice, due to email address being invalid??! Anyone used their service recently?? I checked...forum.purseblog.com

My Court had similar fading on the piping. I used leather furniture dye and a disposable eyeshadow sponge. It worked wonders..after leather CPR and black rocks, of course.
