Nice call out on my bag twin… Now to find that larger one 🙃My pleasure! @Lisa2007 has previously posted pics of her Basket Totes:
Friday’s bag…Small Straw Tote…Happy Friday Eve PF Family
I bought a shelving unit last year. It’s frightening how quickly it gets filled!
I love the stripes and the vachetta! I have this one. It is so perfect I can't get myself to use it.
Yes, it is an Angelfish. I have several large Coach pendant necklaces and I often use the charms to decorate my bags.
You can see close-up photos of the Angelfish on my Straw Basket Tote at the link below, along with photos of some of my other Coach pendant necklaces, including a Starfish, Sea Turtle, and Frog.

Starfish 94207
Sea Turtle 94209
Frog 94469
I know what you mean, but life is short so go ahead and enjoy it!
I have the sea turtle (of course!)
I also have the Pierre Le Tan Seahorse necklace 94996 but unlike the turtle, I can't remove it from the chain. The last time I used it as a charm, I wrapped it around the strap several times and let the excess fall back inside the bag.

I did a search
on straw bags because I remembered pammbw’s result and katev’s too.I picked up a Sak’s 5th Avenue simple (completely straw with no leather, cloth embellishment) but big straw tote (actually made from corn husks) from the GW bins several years ago. It was slouchy and since it was from the bins I wanted to clean it. So I knew I could from these posts. I got it thoroughly wet to clean it (probably with Dawn or SimpleGreen) and it dried over a day or two, in the sun and turning it to shape. Warning - it got really stinky when wet but the smell went away as it dried!
As always I really appreciate all these great posts on ‘how to’ or ‘this is what I did’.

For several years we had a Coach PF thread dedicated to straw and summery bags; see the link below; many of the earlier photos are gone, but some are still there - especially on the more recent pages:

Heya everyone, I bought a Soho Bleecker (4153) online and it was stated as black on the listing. Just received the bag and it looks like it could be a reaaaally dark navy, and the zipper fabric & plastic teeth are definitely blue! Does the zipper ID the original leather color? No issues with the bag, just for my own curiosity 
Probably! At some point they did move away from the “industrial” black fabric/metal teeth zipper to matching the leather. And for some palettes the navy is very dark, nicknamed blavy. What year was the bag made? Is the reg code all numbers or does it have the alpha number alpha format?Heya everyone, I bought a Soho Bleecker (4153) online and it was stated as black on the listing.
