I'm so excited! I just bought my first 2 Coach bags. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/261086772983
I'm sure the chocolate brown one is real, Hyacinth authenticated another one listed on ebay exactly the same but the bidding on it is up to 212.00 already. I know it's in better shape than this one but I thought I would take a chance on these 2, I'm hoping the vintage one is authentic as well.
I'd love to bath, reshape and condition both when I get them so they're nice and clean and fresh and "new" to me. What do you girls think? Should I or shouldn't I? I've never done it before and the idea of putting a leather bag in a sink full of water scares the you know what out of me. Does anyone have any recommendations for me?
I can't wait to get them!

I think you got 2 great bags at a great price! The vintage bag looks very clean and may not need much attention at all. I am not sure if the pebbled bag needs cleaning. When you receive them examine them carefully and then post your concerns and a link to the auction on the rehab&rescue thread and the coachie rehabbers will try and advise you! Nice finds!
 
It looks so great, thank you for the inspiring post! Each of you with such thrifting & rehabbing talents inspire me, & I have three vintage duffles awaiting some love ... I haven't taken the plunge yet! I love your "new" rambler!
