What a score! Pic? You know my weakness! You can't just tell me that and not show it! [emoji13]
It's drying now, and it's too dark to take a decent picture. Kind of like a classic pouch but smaller. Very simple.

The seller had several Coach bags, and they were all $15 or $20, depending on size. This one was $15 because it was smaller, so I offered her $12 and she accepted. I'm thinking I should have gotten a few others but I was trying to be good. None of the others were as nice. There were two lightweights bags in brownish colors, one was a Monterey hobo and the other was a drawstring, and a newer made in China black bag that was really cute.
 
So I may not be getting the city bag after all that I purchased, because the seller is telling me that the bag, lightly stuffed with tissue, in a regular USPS shipping box, weighs 4 lbs, 5 oz and therefore can’t ship first Class International.

But that would mean that the city bag itself weighs over 3 lbs, closer to 4, on its own. And that would make it even heavier than my legacy Ali from way back when which I sold because she was way too heavy empty, never mind with my stuff inside.

There’s no way the city bag is that heavy, or?

What?! This makes no sense. I shipped a Courier bag with a bottle of leather CPR to my customer overseas no problem. First class with tracking and insurance for about $30. Was the seller offering free shipping and not willing to pay shipping after finding out the cost? I really don't think the bag weighs more than 2 lbs. I'm going to weigh mine in the morning. Maybe the seller can send it in a padded package and hopefully that's cheaper?

That's not true. I think it weighs at the most 2 pounds, including the box. The city bag doesn't have much hardware so it isn't heavy. It is probably lighter weight than Rambler's Legacy. She can stuff with plastic bags or bubble wrap rather than tissue to make it lighter weight.
