Two words: Texas bag.

Now please, Texas girls, not picking on ya. I like to use my bags too. I look for bags I like to call "working breeds". The majority of bags I buy I plan to use. As much as I can! It is just that I have have seen several vintage Coach bags being offered for sale out Texas that take the term "working breed" to a whole new level and this is one of them. I love this style, the Oliver bag. I have one in BT too, but it's a little daintier than this one, lol. I have seen bags ( like I am sure all of us vintage girls have) with piping that is worn clear through. But this is the first bag I have seen with what appears to be wear through the side of the bag. Look at the pic showing the back of the bag with the outline of the inside pocket. It looks there are actually two small holes from wear toward the top. Am I right??

I'm working on one of these right now. It's not turning out so great. I think it is the larger version of this one. It's very stiff after her bath and now 2 coats of obenaufs! The color is not very forgiving of stains.either.

No. I wish I did! I paid about $50 for it on ebay. It is really crunchy dry in parts but overall there's some beautiful patina and I love its big size. I have one of the smaller ones in navy and it's really a little too small to be very useful.

My Goodwill hasn't kept up its supply of awesome vintage bags. Probably that's good or I would be even more buried in them than I am now!
