My brown one of this era only has one rivet and it has pulled out. It was disclosed in the auction and running both ends through the buckle worked til I had it repaired. Just FYI.

These bags sure had trouble with rivets! I have the 2 rivet version and one of those was broken. I wonder if it was more than just a design flaw, but also that the quality of the rivets was sub par.

Did it cost much to get it repaired?

I just received one that I won a while ago and the rivet has pulled through (not disclosed in the listing). I think the issue is that it's on the seam as the rivet is intact. Major design flaw and such a pity as the style is so cool. I haven't decided how to tackle it yet.

I took mine to a luggage repair shop and he put in a largish, rather unattractive rivet, but it's not really where you can see it so it doesn't bother me. Here is a link to mine, you can't see it in this picture but that's the point I think...

I'd promise I'd take a picture of the rivet when I get home, but I know I'm going to have to work late, and I have to catch an early flight tomorrow so I probably won't have time to do it even if I remember. However, whatever you can find that works probably will be covered by the strap on the outside and kind of covered by the zipper on the inside and it's such an awesome bag!

It's from the early 90s. It's a very nice style. Being black, it should be easy to rehab, I think. The seller has it priced like the rest of her non-Coach bags. Maybe she doesn't realize that Coach bags usually go for more. I'm surprised no one has bought it already.

Thanks ledobe. As you say it's not very obvious.
