I know it's been two years. That first batch of Carolines were so very pretty. To me it's some of Coach's finest work.
Three more years until the 75th anniversary. Their anniversary bags are so amazing. I have a one from 65 years (which got me addicted to coach) and a few Carolines.
WOW, the bag was gorgeous when you got it and it's still just as gorgeous now! I'm amazed at how even and beautiful the patina is. You've done an excellent job taking care of her, and it definitely shows!
OMG, your post and pics just thrilled and broke my heart at the same time. I owned this bag once upon a time when it first came out and I foolishly sold it. I still consider it "the one that got away" and it's the Coach bag I most regret selling. Sigh.
Anyway, I'm happy for you (really!) and it's really cool how beautifully it's "aged"...the patina is just gorgeous. My, my. I love it. I really do.
