As I don’t live near an outlet, my visits there are hit and miss (probably a good thing). I think these pieces are gorgeous! They are very special.
Love this bag and charm! I think these bags are so sweet. They remind me of a petit version of my mom’s travel case for her jewelry and small items in the 1950s. I appreciate this nod to the past in the history of bags for travel.
Thank you. Your words are like music to my ears. Very well played!
Patent leather seems to come in and go out of fashion as a popular style for coach bags - and right now they are not a popular material. As I said, I got into patent back when I really needed tough, all-weather bags for my work commute. Standing on a exposed train platform in the rain or snow and walking to/from train stations can be tough on a bag (and on people, too!) Nowadays, I don't carry them often, just when the weather is expected to be really bad.
I think you are referring to my recent rehab of a black patent Coach Ergo Kisslock bag 12520, see the after before pics below. I think this was my first patent leather rehab project but it came out well, and you can use Pledge wiped to give the bag a nice shine. It will smell like lemon for a short time but that fades quickly.
I've recently picked up this same Ergo Kisslock bag 12520 in a Tan (Carmel?) patent leather as a rehab project; it was only $10 at the thrift store so I couldn't resist! This style bag also came in smooth leather, and several colors.
Cute. I have this bad in tan and reddish colors. I need to use or sell it.
Thank you. I have those colors, too - and a few more.
Thanks love.
Thank you. Love that Legacy leather.
What’s this app you speak of? Sounds cool.I was loading all my bags into the Stylebook app last night and realized I’d forgotten I have this one so I decided to switch into it today. Dark mineral mixed leather Swagger 27.
You can upload your whole closet to build outfits, see what you do and don’t wear, track cost per wear, and what you wear the most/least. I only use it for my shoes and bags so far. I may add in my dresses later.
Love this! I need to bring mine out in Navy to use.Willis
Switched into my DF Rogue 25 for the first time. I don’t get how, but this size bag carries way more stuff than either the Swagger 27 or the Charlie 28. Also, this may be one of my absolute favorite colors of all time. It’s so vibrant! 
Yeah, quite awhile ago actually! Almost a year!
I love this strap!
I've made sillier mistakes! A few I still blush about years later.Thank you for such a wonderful, informative response! Now off to explore patent leather...stay warm!!
KateV would be clearer, but it may only be me who would make such a silly mistake...my husband laughed so loud on his way to picking up a Redbox DVD one time the whole neighborhood probably heard...I said, the code is "DV-DON-ME" you know, like the name "Don"...he paused and said, "Uh, hon, you know it probably means 'DVD-ON-ME'"!
So beautlful. I missed out on this! I'm sorry she is so delicate. I have a silver bag that is delicate. My hologram wallet that came out for FP a year after this doesn't seem delicate at all.
Purell has alcohol in it so can remove the shininess. My silver Poppy is made out of something called sparkle suede. Spots on that also magically disappear.
I used to have a saffiano tote. It was indestructible. I think even more than patent. Not only was it water repellent, but it kept its shape more than patent does. I also carry my patent bags in the rain. Thanks for the patent explanation. I had no idea why patent is more durable now than it was when we were kids.
