I know. The shaping of the perimeter of the "patch" was definitely thought about and done quite well by someone possessing the right tools for cutting leather of this thickness. I suspect that the owner wanted to maintain something identifying this as a COACH bag (other than the absent removable hang tag). And for the "patch" to have stayed affixed for this long hints that whoever did it used adhesive that was better than the one COACH employed for its glue-in registration numbers (that are often found missing by now).

That is a very weird thing to do. I cut out a Coach creed pre serial number and turned it into a bookmark LOL. But the bag was completely ruined before I did that so I wanted to keep a part of it. I didn't cut it out as nicely as that though.

:sad: No marketing tote for me. I just got it.. or rather didn't get it as the seller sent a completely different bag, not even Coach. I'm requesting a return of course.. but annoyed. I was all ready to rehab it this afternoon!

This happened to me once. The seller made two sales on the same day and mixed up the labels. I was so afraid the other buyer would keep my purse instead, since it was nicer than the one she bought. The seller was nice about it, and eventually I got my purse. The seller lost a lot of money on it with all the shipping back and forth.

I got a different bag too! The Sheridan satchel you auth authenticated for me was black and tan. He sent me a different satchel that looks almost like it but without the tan corners and instead of black it's blue green. I just sent it back and then he will ship move back after receiving the wrong one.

Once I bought a briefcase for someone who was very particular about having made in US items. The seller sent one made in Mexico even though the listing showed a US creed. It was the exact same style. I bet the seller thought I was unreasonable when I asked for a return.

Um no. Not unreasonable. I also had a seller send me the exact bag with a different serial number than the one showed in the listing. The stains and water marks were also different on the bag she sent me. I eventually got the right back but at first it took her awhile to realize the mistake.

I had this happen except I received the more desirable color (to me, anyway) of the same style. I had a fleeting fantasy of keeping it but of course sent it back. I felt bad for my seller and the $ she lost on shipping.
@Belicious I hope you get your bag soon - keep the rehab mojo alive in the meantime! [emoji846]

The seller contacted me this morning saying she/he is sending me a return label. I guess shipping it through ebay is more expensive because she probably overcharged me on shipping originally. Overall very annoying. I wonder how long I have to wait for this. I kinda just want my money back instead of all the delay.

Shipping on ebay is cheaper but ebay takes 10% of the shipping charge so sellers have to add that back in if they don't want to subsidize shipping.

@whateve Thanks for the link! For now I am content with rotating through my current favs. And committing to attempting some ink removal. I am trying to decide what color briefcase/ large tote style I would use the most. And I have my eye on a few things on my watch list :amuse:

So does anyone know the name, style number of this cutie, rounded, closer in size to the Willis it seems, as opposed to the smaller Post Pouch bag, if I am correct?? Or is this the Post Pouch bag?? I am not interested in purchasing, but would like to know for future reference (aka purchase lol, let's call it what it is). I am already locked and loaded for a 9097 lol. On my HG/bucket list.
