Vintage Coach Photos & Chat

[SloaneTailor]

The word RARE is tossed around all the time too. It means nothing now.

No Joke. Today I found a Lightweight Bucket Bag in Taupe, perhaps Khaki. Listed as something like "Rare Vintage 70's Coach Bag" yada yada. Lol 1970s! The photos were terrible, the poor bag was stained, and they had the wrong decade. What exactly is RARE about Taupe again? Taupe is the most basic color in existence. As a color. As a bag.

Idk what’s more absurd.. that someone posted a dust bag for $51 or that 4 people liked it

Dust bags and hang tags. There are hang tags for as much as I paid for some of my bags.

I keep seeing just tags in the $50-$75 range and my first thought is always “how is this supposed to sell without a picture of the bag”? It takes me a second to wrap my head around that price for the tag alone. Totally nuts!

Ya I have a small zippered pouch bag and I'm 100% sure its Putty but it has no tag. That color is hard for me to find in a vintage tag. I'm waiting to see it, get my hopes up, and the seller KNOWS its rare, charges me an arm and a leg. There is one in particular on ebay and I think Poshmark? and they charge a steady 25 a tag for like every vintage tag. I think they "offered" me 21 one day and I decided to unwatch it completely. I'd rather not have the tag than play these games. It's a piece of leather the size of my pinky!!!

I would love to get handtags for some of my bags...but absolutely refuse to pay that much..addshipping and taxes and by God it's an expensive tag. Might as well buy a bag for the price.

Even if you found one reasonably priced, without seeing it IRL, the chances it would match your bag are slim.

When I have a bag that is missing the hangtag, I'll buy a keychain for decoration instead.

I would rather go to the Coach store and buy one of the new personalized hangtags than pay exorbitant prices for the vintage ones.

That’s why I used one of the bag charms @LunaSilver made on my small yellow tote. I’m not as hung up on coach tags. Some bags don’t work as well with them anyway like the bags where the hangtag slides up and down the sewn-on straps because there’s no hardware to attach it to. I like this way better!

I do not use any of my 300+ dustbags because I store my bags on shelving in my handbag room. I have several drawers in my guest room full of dustbags. I’m serious! I don’t use them because I wouldn’t be able to find my bags if they were covered and I don’t store my bags anywhere they are even exposed to dust. When I give away a bag I do put it inside one for gifting. Wow! Maybe I should open a Coach dustbag shop. Lol!

There are bags I've removed the hangtags from because there wasn't really a good place to put them or you couldn't see them anyway. Like the ergo bags, with those thicker straps.

And then they don't even bother to include measurements. SHEEEESH.

I keep them off my Casinos as they flip back when I open the flap and always end up hanging round the back so no point LOL!

So true. So far I have managed OK. I have around 4 bags that are/were missing tags. Fortunately they are the British Tan variety as I am obsessed with that range. It's a fairly common vintage color too.

I also have inherited some off color tags from the bags I bought. I guess they just put any tag with it and called it a day. To me it's just another excuse to buy a bag that matches that tag. Just kidding... I am currently in time out. Too many bags as of late.
