I saw she painted a rogue on her Instagram feed. It looked fine but can't see a real close up. She noted she really enjoyed painting on such a quality bag. Then I saw another post of hers a while ago saying she wasn't going to paint on pebbled any more but I think the bag she was working on had more of a shiny coating on it so may have made it hard for the paint to adhere.

So cute! I never would have looked twice at this one. Your photo looks better than the one on the website.
I have this wallet in Ink and in Black but now I wish that I had in in Mahagony!
It looks a little darker in the picture than it actually is. I think it is British tan. It doesn't match any of my Bleeckers but it is closest to my woven pocket hobo, which I thought was mahogany but really looks like a dark British tan. I think the wine version of the wallet would be beautiful too. I couldn't pass this up - it was only $20 shipped and in much better condition than I expected.
I am pretty sure she said on fb and insta that she won't do pebbled leather anymore. She did one and had a lot of issues with it.
Yes! Oxblood fabric lining, with 2 credit card slots and a larger (unzipped) pocket on the other side of interior
Thank you! Yes, I don't think the website really does this one justice. It is very pretty and great for the very basic daily essentials (iphone, clunky-ish keys, card holder, chapstick/lipstick, and a slim mirror).
But I think that was a polished pebbled bag which I think would be more difficult. Rogue is smoother.
Someone said that when they were sending in a bag she asked if it was smooth leather, because she won't work on anything else. You can ask her, but she was clear to ask if it was smooth leather.
OK! Thank you! It has been on the back burner for me for a while so things may have changed.
My new-to-me Bleecker Woven Pocket Hobo is supposed to arrive by Saturday night and I am very excited, but I am still unsure about the color. I've been trying to find the bag on Wayback but I have been unsuccessful. I think it came out in Spring/Summer 2008. I've found pics of the bag online in a dark mahogany, but the (poor quality) auction pics for my bag don't look that dark - but maybe it is just the lighting, or the bag is a bit dry and faded.
Maybe I will try calling Coach CS and see if they will tell me the names of the available colors.
As I've said, I have also seen versions of the bag online called "Whiskey" that are a little too dark for British Tan but too light for Mahogany - but like you've said - Whiskey was a Legacy color. So, it's a mystery!
Here's one on ebay that is just called "Brown" and it looks like a dark British Tan:

Oh well, I can't wait to see it, I'm sure that I will love it whatever the color. I hope that it rehabs well - and I also hope the winter storm and the holiday don't cause any delays in the deliveries!

Gorgeous!! The Nolita is so useful and those embellishments are so pretty!
Hi, katev & whateve! Beautiful Bleecker bags! And great wallet, whateve!
I was wondering if you’d seen these old threads & if they might be of some help. I believe I only saw ‘Mahogany’ & ‘Metallic’ mentioned in the posts about these bags from 2008.
