That’s the name of the next vintage Coach I’m getting. It will be delivered tomorrow. It’s an absolute stunner, and most amazingly, it is almost twenty years old and still has the original Marshall Field’s dept store tags attached. It has NEVER been used. And, it’s a rare style, and a rare color (burgundy). I am pretty much over the moon.

My other vintage finds have been much cheaper, like, $15. That’s what I paid for an old brown leather Court Bag, which I intend to rehab and then resell. I think I will probably also resell the Willis bag I bought — it’s too small for my needs. It’s a fun hobby, rehabilitating old classic Coach bags, but I wish it were cheaper. These babies can be found in thrift shops and at yard sales for less than $20 all the time. Just need to be watchful. A couple summers back I found an authentic Bottega Veneta woven bag at a yard sale on my street, for $15. Bottega Veneta bags sell for thousands of dollars. This one was small though, and not in that great shape. It also had a smoky smell, so I gave it to someone I know who smokes.

Anyway, Freya needs me, gotta go. Sleepy time!!
