That’s the flagship on 5th Avenue.I doubt if I'll ever make it back to NYC, but just out of curiosity, which store has the Rexy made out of handbags? THAT'S something I'd love to see in person!
Thanks! If I ever win an all-expenses paid trip to the Big Apple, that will be my first stop.
(I bet that thing is a B!TCH to clean!)
Well good look in finding your bag. And if your offer was way off, yes, why not a brief note back to you, I was really looking to ask $xxx. It’s not like you just sent a random offer out. I get it. You had a dialogue going.Thanks. I do always try to make fair offers, if this was low ball it was unintentional, I had limited bases for comps. At least on eBay I can see what the starting price or BIN price is....for this bag it was a shot in the dark and in the dark, as a buyer, no way was I going in at my top. I could have opened $50 higher in retrospect but my offer was already twice what others sold for from what I found online. Oh well, I get to keep my money and she is stuck storing a bag longer lol.
And some of the online sellers are over the top with their selling prices. So who knows. I made offers on bags with make an offer options that were, in my opinion, on the low side, that were accepted immediately.
My annoyance / rant is this one online seller of a harder, but not impossible to find, bag. She would put in the listing, “Oh, I’m selling this because I already have four others”. Pretentious, obnoxious, condescending. Take your pick. Okay rant ovah!
Lol, a couple of interns on ladders with feather dusters??Thanks! If I ever win an all-expenses paid trip to the Big Apple, that will be my first stop.

I am a relatively short car ride away from NYC, but the drive, parking etc. just makes me crabby thinking about it. I am trying to talk a friend into an early bus ride / train ride in on a Sunday. Hit one store when it opens, then the other with food in between.
I got to see him in person. It was absolutely beautiful!
Hers another crazy critter, in the men’s section.

Speaking of that, I just saw this, a 1980s NYC Classic Shoulder Bag that's pebbled. So it did happen.

I think that’s different. I’ve seen vintage bags where parts of the bag are pebbled, like here it’s a flap and the back. That’s probably some natural variations that occur and whoever cut the pattern noticed and took care , so it looks deliberate. It’s not just that the bags at Hudson Yards are pebbled all over, including the hang tags, they are also very bright and unusual colors - grey, teal, red - and even the turnlocks look slightly different from the familiar vintage ones. I was wondering if it was a reissue line that I missed or they produced a number of bags just for that display.
Actually, I remember seeing a lime green Madison, so there definitely were bright colors and a re-issue for that style. But it looked like the Legacy leather.
I found a near perfect black 1997 Bedford Flap 
It looks liked it was barely used, if at all, and is clean, so all I had to do was wipe it w/ vinegar & water. Then stuffed it, and gave it one coat of Blackrock. This is the 3rd near perfect vintage (or almost) Coach bag I've found this year in thrift stores. The first was a mahogany East West Compartment (2000), and the second was a Sand nubuck Ergo (1997).
