The truth is, I don't really shop retail; I wear a lot of designer vintage, and my friends call me the Thriftmaster 5000. *shrug* So ALL my Coach was a secondhand bargain. Here are the three I currently have:

My daily bag is a black Willis I got for $10 at Goodwill, and absolutely adore. I haven't done more than clean up the hardware a little bit on this one, but it's probably time for a good clean and condition.

I recently grabbed this Cashin-era NYC tote for $25 at Goodwill. It is definitely aged, and I'm really torn on whether I'll carry it or not. It might be a really good knitting bag. I'm in the process of rehabbing, and am happy to note that some of the discoloration has subsided a bit since the conditioning has brought out an overall much richer color, but I'm not yet finished with the rehab, and the photo here is from right after it was purchased.

And just yesterday I purchased this Twill Patricia's Legacy, thanks to a timely authentication by Whateve, for $20. The Twill is apparently rare, which I understand. I'm sure if you could get the same bag in a variety of gorgeous leathers, there wouldn't be nearly as much interest in the twill. But it's much lighter than a leather bag, so would probably be very comfortable to wear, and I just love the saddle-bag-style purses! Doing a good clean on the twill is going to be the next step, although I'm really hoping that red is colorfast! What a disaster it would be if it isn't!

Awesome finds!!
 
I never find really good deals at my local Goodwill or thrift shops, I am amazed at what you ladies find sometimes, but this time I can not complain, not from a thrift shop and no vintage, but as a bundle from the same seller, I got these 4 bags for $300 plus shipping, total retail was $2299, plus taxes.
I am very happy :smile:

I posted individual pictures with names and style numbers on the mini reveal thread.

Thriftmaster 5000, lmao, luv it. I have to borrow that!
Your NYC tote is a HG for me. What are the dimensions? I see a large and small tote come up periodically online, and this appears to in between in size. Looking forward to seeing it after rehab.
Congrats on your finds.
 
image.jpg image.jpg I love the chunky little Shoulder Purse with the kisslock inside. It is my vintage indulgence! Now my navy bag has a friend! I just picked up the BT on eBay, not cheap but it was BT!!! No hang tag or strap, but I can make do and pick up a beater Basic bag for the strap and tag. It has a little wear, but nothing crazy. I think it will clean up nicely. It is the least practical bag I own. Absolutely love it lol lol
