VERY RARE Coach 1941 Mineral Whiplash Saddle Bag (Altered)

This is a very hard one for me to list! However, it is underutilized in my closet and deserves better. As with all the early 1941 Collection, this bag is of high quality construction. It is in the rare Mineral Teal, with pewter hardware, and a rich mustard suede interior. The leather is divine: durable pebble leather, but very soft and pliable. This bag molds to your body for a very comfortable wear. There is an adjustable strap that can be doubled up to wear short/long on the shoulder or crossbody, multiple compartments, and is large enough to hold a book, small tablet, phone, keys, wallet. It is in almost brand new condition- it was only worn a handful of times since I bought it new directly from Coach, and has been in storage for most of the last eight years. Clean inside and out, no stains, rips, or tears. Please note that I did not like the lower fringe details on four bottom corners so I modified this bag when I got it. See photo 6 to see how this looks, you will see my own method did not leave any holes in bag as some at the time did. Measures approx. 10 3/4" (L) x 9 3/4" (H) x 3 1/2" (W) This was originally around $995 retail, and is often listed on preloved market for close to same due to rarity. I believe what I am asking is fair. I am willing to consider reasonable offers but no low balls, as I would rather just keep the bag then sell it in that case. This listing includes the original hangtag and original 1941 dust bag.
