Vintage Coach

Not to long ago I was roaming around one of my fav. thrift spots, Savers. I lucked out and found this great vintage leather Coach bag. Coach or not I loved the size, style and look of the bag. After some research I found out that it was a 1979~80 bag called the Hippie Flap Bag. The best part it only cost me 7.99! Someone must have missed it and it was out on the regular sales floor instead of the "fancy case". I have been using it ever since...I should resell it, others are on e-bay for 50.00+. I am good at the buying and not so good at the selling. for now it's all mine and I am very proud of it! Have you ever found something you really feel like you should sell but have a hard time parting with?
