Just curious, wouldn't whatever they are doing already be in the works, design and production wise? There wouldn't be another shoe to drop, would there?

I think so. I thought this fall would be the 75th Anniversary collection. And we have a preview of that collection here, but it doesn't seem that special.

I think many of the new bags are special. I wouldn't expect them to produce the exact same styles as they did for the 65th anniversary.

You're right. I didn't mean an exact replica. But I was/am hoping for a "legacy" collection. Something that embraces Coaches heritage: legacy stripe, nice brown leathers, turnlocks, buckles, dare I say, Made In America (I know the last one is asking too much). The current bags are special and fun, but they don't fill the anniversary quota.

The two 1941 bags I have are the two nicest Coach bags I have, including bags from the 65th. Nicest leather, suede, turnlocks, stitching, zippers, hardware.....everything hands down is premium.

I love the 75th. I'm super excited to finally see something new and more chic. While I loved the legacy stripes for the 65th, Coach completely played them out by making Made for Factory versions so widely available at the outlet. That totally cheapened it for me. I'm glad they have moved on and are trying something new. The linen look lining of the Rogue is great. So easy to find your things. One thing I can't stand is a black hole bag lining. I liked the tattersall lining best anyway, it was cleaner looking and you could find your things in it.

I wasn't into Coach at the time of the 65th legacy stripes. Can you tell me which items are examples of the MFF that were available and what the difference in quality was?

I know one bag was the shoulder bag--I don't know what else they called it. There is one with one pocket on front, and one with two. I have owned at one time the MFF and the FP of the two pocket one, and the MFF was just not as nice of a quality leather. It felt like a MFF bag...you could tell the difference pretty easily. It wasn't poor quality...just wasn't as nice as the FP version.

On another note, discussing 65th versus 75th.... I don't think the 75th are lesser bags, and I think they are good enough to be considered anniversary bags. I think one thing that soured me on the 65th bags over time are the large number of them that developed verigris around the hardware. It makes the bag unusable if you don't have the time and patience to deal with it. For the price those bags were, it is not a good thing to happen. I have owned a few of the shoulder bags in different colors, and at least 3 of them developed that issue. I have one left that seems okay still, and I hope it stays that way.

I agree with that regarding the hardware. I never bought anything from that line, and it's that hardware problem that has stopped me from buying anything pre-owned. Dealing with it on the vintage is one thing .... they have the age to explain it. The 65's don't strike me as old enough to justify it, if that makes sense.

In all honesty, I still preferred the 70th line from a few years ago. I love my Willis's from that year (both 70th Poppy with legacy stripes, and the linen-style lined with the tassels), my Molly's (utterly perfect bag for me, and of course they never made that many colors), and my clutches. I loved the leather on that line ... yeah, i know a lot of people had corner wear issues, especially on the duffles, but so far I've been good. To my tastes, that was the perfectly squishy leather.

Eh. Shrug. I'm actually hitting the 30% tier on the PCE this time, and I'm actually not getting anything of any type from the Coach 1941. Only bag I'm even getting is a crosstown. (I find that humorous ... that I'm still hitting 30% nonetheless).
