Twins! Just took it out yesterday
Isn’t she gorgeous?? I was never drawn to this kind of color in a handbag until i came across this Rogue, this color is so special to me, not too burgundy almost wine but also not too brown, i just love it.
I've been carrying some of my "Rehab and Rescue" bags this weekend. Last night we went out for dinner and then to see a play and I was wearing black and white so I wanted to carry a small bag that would add some color to my outfit.
I selected this Girlie Lamb Nappa Clip Hobo 8928 from 2003 to wear last night. I found it at a local thrift store several years ago for only $20 and it was in almost pristine condition and needed very little attention.
I've decorated the bag with the Stars Fob 63819 that I picked up a couple at Nordstrom Rack a couple of years for $25, so the total cost for the bag and fob were $45 - and I felt like a million buck when I was carrying them!

Here's another Rehab and Rescue bag that I have been carrying lately. I found this Ergo Tan Patent Kisslock Satchel 12520 from 2008 at the Goodwill recently for $10 and it was in bad condition. It was filthy and needed a bath and some TLC to bring it back to beauty but I love the way it looks now, especially the tattersall plaid lining!
I had a hard time finding a fob that I felt looked good with this bag. I finally decided to decorate it with the charm from my Angelfish Pendant 94210 that I bought on ebay for $30.
So the bag and charm cost a total of $40. I spend a lot of money on bags (too much!) but I still maintain that you don't have to carry a cheap bag just because you can't afford a good bag. If you shop around, take advantage of the excellent coach authentication thread on TPF, and are willing to do a little cleaning and conditioning then you can find some gorgeous bags and fobs very cheaply!

First outing for this pretty. I'm obsessed with this color combination.
Hi katev! I haven’t seen you very much lately but I hope you’re doing well! Your bags are always so gorgeous. I love the rehab work you do. These are both fabulous and the leather looks so soft.
Thank you! The red Girlie hobo is made of lamb nappa and it is really soft and a delight to carry.
I've been around mostly lurking, because I've been very busy with work lately, but I have 2 bags that I am trying to rehab and wear before summer is over!
