Looks like it was will used. With a bonus of her hubby to hold it for the last picture.

Well used by a mechanic by the looks of it!

That's the same purse I have, I paid a lot less for mine, and mine is in excellent condition. Some sellers are crazy!

Same here. Mine was about $20. Stank of smoke but I was able to get rid of that. This one is beyond saving.

Great finds! I need to figure out how to get GW coupons! They all look like they are in great shape too!

Thanks! Our local GW's post coupons on their website. I've got a short-cut in my iphone, so all I have to do is show the coupon (on my phone) to the cashier...usually $5 off $25, $15 off $60 and usually a couple of "buy 2, get one free" on various items like blouses, slacks, etc. Otherwise, the coupons are printable. Supposedly they're working on a "rewards program" that will accrue points based on purchases that can eventually be converted to discounts...still in the works.

I really like the sides of the Oliver. I've been wanting one since Damselfly got hers ages ago. Mine has some piping issues on a small section but I'm hoping it will be an easy fix.

6 for $48 sounds good but then add $60 for shipping but a good deal for me.

That drawstring is really nice, and the Metropolitan is another on my wish list. Congrats. Look forward to seeing them when you've had a chance to pretty them up.

Even with shipping, you still got a good deal! I'm really excited about the Metropolitan.
There was a tiny, reddish spot above the pocket that popped right off with just a dab of Leather CPR...leaving no residue! There's some ball-point ink inside, but I've had success with Color Transfer Remover so fingers crossed. Best of all, I have boots that are a close match...yeah in Florida we wear boots - and even light colors - in cooler weather.

Just wanted to share my solution to lengthening the strap on this older coach bag that I purchased on ebay recently. I went to Petco and found a leather dog collar that matched fairly well, attached the collar to the bag and then buckled it to the strap. The hardware is two different colors but that really doesn't bother me since it is shiny, the difference would be more noticeable if the hardware were antiqued.

Hmmm not sure why the pics won't load, the url's are correct and I thought I had the tags right.

Thanks Joodlz. The yellow is perfect for summer.

In that lot there were two NYC companion bags, a saddle bag, large duffle sac, city bag and a convertible, so yeah even with shipping it was a great deal. Can't wait to dunk em!

Looking forward to seeing your rehabbed Metro. I'll be interested to know if the Color Transfer Remover shifts the pen marks. You say you've had success with it before. Is that after alcohol has failed?

I've been drooling over Coach and Frye boots but summer is nearly here. I really thought it would be too hot to wear boots in Florida.
