Description

The listing, Coach Purse Little Coach Story has ended.

Coach measuring approximately 6 inches in height 10 inches wide and the spread is approximately 3 1/2 inches on the bottom and 6 inches on the top.
My Little Coach Story: I went to a Divorce sale, without a doubt the worst place I've been to for one of these sales. Here sits this poor Little Coach purse, badly used and abused, people were walking around not giving it a second glance. To me it was saying please get me the heck out of here LOL. It was bad, very dirty inside and out, covered in dog/cat hair probably both, I felt bad about this cute little purse so I figured I'd give it a little help if at all possible. I Googled how to possibly clean it up and found a site for help. Purchased cleaner, sat in my drive way in the sunshine and went to work. With love and care I worked on this poor Little Coach for two hours straight. And much to my amazement it was starting to come back to life. This is not the end of my Little Coach Story. After two hours of working, Little Coach was looking pretty good I was thrilled thinking "I'm gonna find you a new loving home". Went inside and left Little Coach on a towel in the drive way to dry. I hear the mail man, go outside to check mail and OMG the MORON MAIL MAN walked up my drive way and stepped directly on the now drying Little Coach. I freaked needless to say, I chased the Mail Man down a few houses away and well I'm surprised I didn't go to jail LOL. I was so upset, there was now big black shoe prints, he actually stepped right on it. I wanted to cry, poor Little Coach said please don't give up, no way, this purse has been to heck and back and wanted to survive, so another hour of work. In the process of this Little Coach lives, because of the mail man the dye from the leather on top discolored the fabric as you can see in photos. Hope somebody wants to give Little Coach a loving home :)

loved the story - yes I see where the leather bled - hmmm dye it with tea and make it all off-white?

Oct 23rd, 2012 at 11:19:40 PM PDT by

actually you can buy a product by Rit its leather dye remover and its safe for colored fabrics, I didn't want to work on Little Coach after I put her up for auction but I will include a note and free gift surprise to the winner and they can try the Rit product if they wish :)

I really love your story and the history of it makes it even better. I've always hope I would go to a yard sale and find a nice bag, I've had friends find them, so I would be more then happy to bring the little bag home. I love small purses so my husband can't had me all his stuff to carry to. Lol

Oct 16th, 2012 at 3:39:27 PM PDT by

Note: Ladies don't take me the wrong way about my comment, I'm not a frustrated cowboy from a previous lifetime, I don't even own a weapon of any kind, perhaps Little Coach helped the mail man because he will now be informed not to make entry into somebody's property it could be dangerous for sure :)

Oct 15th, 2012 at 7:42:28 AM PDT by

Nice story,after all the comments I couldn't resist to read..Lol. My mail man is the most special person that comes to my home, he always delivery all my packs in my home and knock the door and waits for me to pick up,I'm so geatful for his amazing patience and dedication.F/W.

Oct 15th, 2012 at 5:30:13 AM PDT by

Well my mail man unfortunately is not that way, obviously he is lazy and it was easier and shorter distance to up the drive way instead of my front door. The worst part is after he did that he just drove away, like it really didn't matter to him, he knew what he did. It would be one thing if he knocked on my door and said he was sorry it was an accident but its not over for him because I'm going to the post office today to file a formal complaint against him. First he has no business making entry into my private home he walked into my open garage door. In Florida we have "Stand your ground law" which means I could have gone out to my garage and shot him and not gone to jail, he was a stranger in my home, obviously he doesn't know this but he will when I'm done at the post office LOL

you have a gin on this?

Oct 14th, 2012 at 3:56:03 PM PDT by

No I haven't been asked for a GIN as of yet, typically people email me when they want a GIN :)

Oct 14th, 2012 at 4:04:31 PM PDT by

Great auction! Will you share your secret for getting it clean? I have several Coach purses with white/light gold on them that are so dingy/dirty I don't carry them anymore. I bought the Coach cleaner and that didn't get them clean. I love them and would like them to be clean enough to carry. Help! :)

Oct 14th, 2012 at 3:02:54 PM PDT by

I used a product called " Tuff Stuff " its fabulous, I am a big Coach collector so I knew the Coach cleaner would not work so I gave this a try and it was great :)

Oct 14th, 2012 at 4:03:59 PM PDT by

WOW! This Little Coach has been given a second chance at life!! (I saw it before she did the intervention and rehab on the poor little thing! lol) You did a great recovery for her!

Oct 14th, 2012 at 10:29:35 AM PDT by

oh well thank you my Listia friend hope it finds a good loving home and a happy ending to the Little Coach Story :)

Oct 14th, 2012 at 11:02:15 AM PDT by

That was the cutest story!! Almost made me cry lol no really it did :) watching him!

Oct 14th, 2012 at 9:17:35 AM PDT by
