This may be a bad idea for a thread...or at least bad way to do it, lol! 
So, I know we have all sorts of threads on older lines, but I'm searching for a way to revive talk about some of the past lines that some of us have known and loved. I know things change, and people move on, but T-Girl's "out of touch" thread kind of got me thinking about this, and I see no reason why we can't resurrect some of the talk from the past since this forum is not just about the latest and greatest thing from Coach! I didn't want to title the thread "Pre-Garcia Legacy" talk because then...well.... that would just be for me
, lol, and I want to make this thread about EVERYONE who has loved and enjoyed some line (or lines) from Coach that are now a distant memory in some cases.
I'm not really trying to put a time limit on this because as far as I'm concerned that's up to the individual, just like "age" is really a state of mind (I am so NOT old, lol). I also hesitate to label this thread "for older Coachies" because reading recent threads, I realize that term is confusing even for me. Do we mean older in personal age, time spent on forum and what "time" really qualifies as an "old" member, and just the lines from Coach (are the lines discussed really "OLD" or just discontinued)?? To me being on the forum for several years might be old or not, depending on how you look at it, and as far as lines go, to me a 2005 line is not really OLD..just discontinued. I don't consider myself an "old Coach enthusiast" at all, because I really got into Coach in a major way only around 2005...which is really not that long ago IMO. Ok, I'm babbling (as usual..happens ALL THE TIME), lol, but hopefully you see my point. I didn't want to put an age or time label on this, but of course we can if you like. This is a starting point.
My real hope with this thread is to just get people involved again...especially those members that feel they don't really have a place on the forum right now. I want all of the "older" members to know that you guys are still very important here, and you have a LOT of knowledge that's worth sharing with newer Coach enthusiasts!! I know it's hard to relate to threads a lot of the time, and I'm all for just letting live and moving on. I think that's what we have to do, and while I don't really post on many threads here in general, that honestly has more to do with time that I just don't have rather than interest in doing so. I can usually find a common barrier with someone over something because I like a lot of different styles, but I realize that not everyone can. I DO understand the feeling of being left out and having no common thread, though, and I feel bad that is the case sometimes on here.
Anyway, the bottom line is people can post as many reveal threads as they want about the same bag in every color, and it is TOTALLY welcome... kwim?? But that doesn't mean that others can't post threads that interest them as well...and it can be new or old Coach topics!! So we should ALL feel comfortable!!
As we all know with Coach, because they produce SO MANY bags, it becomes "out of sight, out of mind" with bags that are even a year or so old! That doesn't mean these bags are not still some of the best creations ever!! So let's talk about them!! I have an example that I want to post, but I will have to do that later since time doesn't permit now...but it's a bag that's a few years old that a SA asked me what brand it was when I walked in the Coach boutique last year!
It's like the "Who are the Beatles?" question my husband sometimes gets at the university, lol.
Anyway... You can share info about lines, post pics, whatever!! Maybe even share some of the little known facts and limited pieces. ANYTHING!!! Please remember that pics are always worth a thousand words too!! This is for any line that YOU loved that has been discontinued. I hope some of our more seasoned Coachies will love this and participate, and if we need to break this thread up and start others (maybe by time line or in some other way), we can do that. Or even change the thread topic a bit...i'm totally game! Hopefully this is a starting point?!
P.S.... Ok... Is this worthwhile or really stupid?? I know we have had similar threads, lol.
