These TB bags are amazing. I’m sad they no longer sell the larger bag. I like them more than the LR Double bag, which is nice too. Please share a pic of your vachetta leather bag. Love vachetta bags and have a Coach Madison and Reed Krakoff in this leather. TIA.
Yes, I love vachetta too even though it can stain and waterspot easily. It’s beautiful. I’ll take a photo when I can find time and I have good light. I just posted a double bag that I bought three years ago and forgot i had. Tags still attached. It’s beautiful but I don’t like it as well as these others.
I have not done business with them. But I would suggest asking seller for a photo of the back side of the strap. It looks like all photos show the same side. Usually replacement straps are folded over the hardware and stitched without tucking the raw cut edges under like this photo of a Willis strap. I’ve included front and back so you can see how nicely the strap is finished around the hardware. I would guess the replacements are cut, folded over hardware and stitched without this nice finish.I wanted to mention that I found a seller on eBay that has replacement parts (turnlocks - with the flat washer), and some Coach original straps, plus they make replacement straps... I might buy one to see what they're like. Has anyone checked this seller out before or purchased anyone from them? I would love some feedback!

No rush. I appreciate you promising to share a pic. I found some online, but hard to really see the beauty of the leather.
Gotcha! I see that, thanks for the tip! I ended up just buying another bag in the colour I am looking for that has a detachable strap that will work with my Chadwick satchel. I could see myself ordering hardware from this company maybe, but their photography of the straps does make me nervous.

Thanks so much!! I think I had looked them up at some point but forgot the name! Lol!If you want a more affordable hardware option, I recommend buckleguy.com. Their turn locks are solid brass & they have nickel ones as well. I’ve purchased from them many times. You would just need to keep the oval back plate of your broken turn lock set because their back plates have dents:

Lots of people just buy another bag for the strap. I’ve practically got my own handbag store so I can usually find something. Lol! If you do use a strap from another bag that you also plan to use, I would suggest storing the strap with the bag it came from. I’m giving away a bunch of bags and have misplaced a strap doing this exact thing. Now I cannot bring myself to give away the bag until I find the strap that was made for it.

Love red and it looks to be in great shape! I have one in what I believe is tabac color. I think it’s too small for me. I may sell it.
Thanks. It is very small, but I just want to have one in this style.
No worries on tea roses! Whenever you get back to crafting is fine. Thanks!
