It's a beauty, I hope that you have lots of opportunities to to carry it! Did they have many "Coach Reserve" bags at the outlet?
Thank you! I love it so much!
No - I only spotted a mini dreamer, a few of the glovetanned geometric crossbodies and a row of Dinkies - embellished black, purple metallic, siggy and white!
Thank you so much, katev! You are so thorough in your documentation and finding these reference pictures! I remembered these bags in stores but never thought to purchase one at the time. Now, I think they are so fun for the summer! I’ve seen one in a consignment store but it was in rough shape. I didn’t feel confident in my abilities to rehab. I’ve since rehabbed a few leather bags so now I’m ready to take one on! The search begins...Yes! It was an easy rehab, see the link below; also below is the original Coach listing for the Audrey Canvas Motif Bags.

I just finished a fun and easy rehab! Many of you already know that one of my favorite reasons for rehabbing bags is that sometimes I have the opportunity to indulge myself with fun, frivolous, and impractical bags that I probably wouldn't buy retail because there won't be many opportunities to...forum.purseblog.com

I've received a question about the fob that I used to decorate the Audrey Sun Motif bag, it is the coach Shells fob and the style number is 92910. It's one of my favorites and I think it's perfect for a summery bag! Below is a picture of the Shells fob on my Signature Parker Khaki Hippie 13420, another great summertime bag - and it was my very first ever coach bag!

Beautiful! I love the Dinky. This will make a great summer bag!
Thank you for sharing your fun summer bags! This seashell charm is very fun! Love it, and it looks great on your bags.

I love your straw basket bags! Please post them in the thread at the link below to share them with other lovers of summertime bags!
Show Us Your Straw, Canvas, Burlap, Beachy Bags for Summer!
It's a cold day in February and I'm tired of the winter! I was just reading a discussion about straw bags and it made me think of warmer weather and frivolous summer bags - and that warmed my heart! I used to hold some odd opinions about straw bags. I thought that they were "old ladyish" and...

Sorry, not showing, just discussing, but I've seen that you have a few stripy colourful bags like this one, @katev, and I'm considering getting it, I love the design. But I literally just bought a bag and I'm supposed to be on ban island, especially with the shipping and tax to the UK

I don't have this bag but it's very cute, I believe that it is a Hamptons bag. It's hard to tell from one picture but it appears to be authentic and intact and it should rehab well. It looks like it still has the hangtag and that's important because I'm pretty sure that this bag had a very cute pink and silver hangtag.
What are the measurements? Make sure that the size is right for you because some of the bags in this era were rather small but there were also larger bags and totes available in the same pattern.
My situation is different from you in that a lot of similar bags are available to me at a fairly low price, and I don't have to deal with the overseas shipping costs. Personally, I wouldn't spend a lot of money on this bag because I wouldn't use it a lot, but I would enjoy using it sometime. So if I found it cheap and in decent shape then I would very much enjoy rehabbing and carrying it.
I'm not sure what to tell you. If you love the bag then maybe you should get it - even though you are on ban island! Let us know what you decide to do, good luck!

katev, look! I found the mini Preston at my local consignment shop! I have had it authenticated and @whateve suggested I use benzoyl peroxide to take out the pen marks. It’s missing the original hand tags (an extra silver hang tag I had) but it came with the shoulder strap. Here is an “after” picture. I love it!
I hope to find a cute summery charm. I have a beautiful bee charm but it hangs down too far. I like your crab charm. I know there’s a summer mermaid and seashell charms, too, so I’ll have to be patient as I look around.
I have a couple more summer bags, I’ve just realized. I should say, I save them for summer.

Here’s my Charlie 28 in the meadow prairie print. The colour is called mist.

Wow, it looks great! I love my bigger version of this bag - it's just so summery and your rehab came out fantastic!
