I hate when things ship from stores!!!

My metal tea rose Callie came in looking pretty beat. It's a return anyway though, since the chain strap is way too long for my 5'2 self. I was really looking forward to this one. :sad:

I wonder if I can do an exchange for something and not lose the 30% discount? Has anyone ever done this? View attachment 4379380View attachment 4379381
:( Wow. I'm sorry. I wonder if they hope you'll take it because of the deal. This is really sad.
 
That was @houseof999 replying, and I believe she has some smoke removal tricks too! I need to hear them! :)
Cleaning vinegar in the bath. First bath is always Dawn. Next, I use a full cup of vinegar in water and let it soak for 30 min. If the smoke smell still lingers, I repeat with fresh vinegar bath and then do the last soak with water only.
 
Will it bug you or do you love it as it is?

A missing clochette isn’t a deal breaker. I don’t plan on selling it.
This isn’t a bag that’s easy to find, so I’m hanging on to this one.
Chelsea Champlain is painting me a hangtag for this, so it’ll be extra special! And who knows I might come across a clochette!

Do you have other vintage ones yet? The Regina will be my first. I haven't gotten the smoke out yet. :blush: So far I've just been airing it outside, and when it rains I keep it sealed up with charcoal. I've gotten some great advice in the rehab rescue forum such as lots of fresh air, Odorzout powder, and to use lots of vinegar when I wash it. The seller okayed my airing it before deciding to return or keep. I hope it will be as soft as yours when I'm done.

Hi tealocean,

Nope.. my Regina is my first vintage one too [emoji16]

I have been searching/stalking/looking at sorts of different vintage coach ever since. Trying to find one that fit onto me and my price range. I like a lot of them but some of them could be really expensive aswell. Guess it will all depending on your preference and lifestyle [emoji16][emoji4]

Hope the odor problems will solve it out soon so you can enjoy your bag [emoji847]

How much does she charge for a hangtag? I hope you'll post a picture of it!

Screenshot_20190322-165921_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20190322-165936_Gallery.jpg Hey all! I cannot believe this score at Nordstrom Rack today. Although I'm not a brass hardware person, I was physically incapable of leaving it behind for the price that I paid. There doesn't seem to be anything missing other than the dust bag and there are no signs of wear or damage to the bag. I can't for the life of me figure out why it was at the rack, but I snatched it up as soon as I saw it.

Wow! That made it to the rack? Seriously, that's a great find! I can't believe it either!
 
Well I’d like to reveal my new Chalk rogue with rivets but when I opened my package I discovered that they had shipped me a sage Mason Caryall with snakeskin instead. What a total disappointment. Now I have to return this one so they’ll ship out my correct bag.
Was it from a store or from the warehouse? I had one from a store that they sent me the completely wrong color, but the right bag. ugh!

Yay! Your hangtag will make it even better. I'm glad you love it!

Thank you! I hope you find some more you love. I haven't seen any thrifting, but haven't looked enough. I found one fake one and was excited until I touched it and knew. It was a 4903.
