Great thread! I love the Bleecker Tote! I have added it to my wish list. I also love the Hamptons carry all. It is just so classic IMO. I really love the Bleecker, Hamptons and Ergo lines.

^yes, burb3rrylov3r, I loved all of those bags you just mentioned. I just spent a ton of time on wayback machine and saw all those poppy bags! I also saw a white demi with the mulitcolored polka dots in real life this past weekend!
And the multicolored wave totes and hobos were great. I even liked the chevron bags. And what about the bubble tote:
Sorry, I like wacky bags

^^^ Oh I really like those.
I am on such a 06-07 legacy kick, I wonder if I will eventually collect any thing else.

I have been seeing Coach for a long, long time but I didn't get my first Coach item until end of May or early June of this year. I didn't start any sooner because I never had the extra money when I was still a student and I didn't even think I can afford one when I first started working after coming out of college. And you know what? Now I make it possible for myself to buy either 1 Coach purse every 1-2 months or a few small items every month, just by being disciplined and save for what I want.
Despite the fact that I know nothing about the seasoned collections, I am still a proud Coachie. I like some of the older stuffs and right now I can't remember that super expensive but GORGEOUS Coach purse that I saw online a few months ago. Alas, it's kind of sad that I don't seem to be able to appreciate the older leather stuffs like others. Hopefully I'll fall in love with it someday. As for now, I am crazy happy with all that I own of Coach

I know, I am so glad to have finally seen what that darn mirror looked like..lol.
One of my dad's friends gave it to my mom years ago and it had a mirror in it when he gave it to her but, my mom lost the mirror and I started looking all over her house for it one day but, I didn't know if it was just a plain mirror of, if there was leather trim around it ( which I suspected there was ), and now, I know! I can go search My mom's house again..lol.

Sad that I dont wear the original Legacy I have sitting in my closet - like Particia's Legacy Bag, Lulus Legacy, etc. - no cell phone pockets and no lining - I have had things stained because of no lining. Really love my "newer" 65th anniversary Legacy - currently carrying my camel Leigh - just love seeing that Legacy lining and using the turnlocks - love the thick softness of the leather and all the heavy brass -

I've thought about getting this every once and awhile! I'll see one authenticated on the thread and I stalk them for about a day. Then decide white is too hard for me to keep clean.
I had just stepped away from Coach right before the Legacy years :cry:. Quarter century crisis - went for the bright fun Tokidoki for LeSportSac. I love TD to this day but the current prints just weren't my thing so I rediscovered Coach!
All these lines, styles, names still confuse me at times. I got into Coach when there was Soho, Hamptons, etc. Man, did I love the Soho and Hamptons lines back then. Legacy was too $$$ for me.

I LOVE this thread! Thanks for starting it, baglady! We are going to have so much fun thinking back and seeing pics of all the great bags from the past. I'm going to have to start taking pics of all my bags, including all those great ones with thick leather and didn't have lining!
I miss Legacy leather circa 06-07! I take this beauty out on special dates with the DH and am constantly finding myself lurking on the web for some more of this delish leather! I found a bag I was dying for from '07 and hope to reveal it soon...I was planning a wedding then and had other places for my "mad" money to go. I sooo wish I had purchased more LEGACY!!! Here is my Legacy Lovely!
Speaking of oldies but GOODIES. I just scored my absolute DREAM BAG!!!
Thanks to a VERY KIND seller who is allowing me to pay the balance over a 2 week period (just 2 payments) I will have my new beauty by the beginning of October!!!
I've always loved the old legacy and many pieces have been thru my hands. I could SMACK myself for some of the pieces I've let go. Gigi, Leigh and the 07' shoulder bag. The Gigi was too BIG, the Leigh just a hint too small...and the shoulder bag was also too small. I truly hope this one is JUST RIGHT!!! Even if she's just a tad small, I've learned my lesson and will NEVER EVER let her go.
Here's a pic to tide both all of you and ME over...because of the payments this will be a longer wait then usual, but OOOOHHHH sooooo worth it!!!
COACH Legacy Leather Satchel in black leather style# 11130
I'm posting a pic I found elsewhere below.
I'm about 99% sure the seller is a TpF member, so if you read this I gotta say, you've made more then my day!!! THANK YOU!!! You are a very kind hearted person!!!
I don't know how I'll make it thru the next 3 weeks (2 to pay and atleast 1 for it to arrive.) I'll live thru all you gal's in the mean time!!!
My *HG*....my dream bag!!!! It's COMING and I'll never let it GO!!!!!

Hey guys! WOW, this is very interesting!! There are some pieces here I have never seen!! I'm going to follow this thread closely and participate when I can. I haven't read through all replies yet, but I just want to make a few comments...
First of all, thanks to everyone for participating, and coach10619, I'm glad we didn't have the same thread, lol! That was also a very good idea too to get everyone involved! Any thread of this nature we have had in the past quickly become outdated because many members are no longer on the forum.
The whole "disconnection" with the subforum has bothered me for a while, but it's just something that's very hard to address because everyone is different, etc. Anyway, I can only hope that those who felt left out on the forum will see these threads and start participating again! Even for me, I always love to see the reveals that talk about the older items, especially those I haven't thought about in a while! It sometimes inspires me to put that particular bag into my immediate rotation for that week!
Lizmil, your post is great and welcomed! I have no idea for a direction this thread should go in...there is no right or wrong answer! I really wanted a starting point, and I'm hoping that maybe even other threads may eventually come out of this! It just depends on the interest involved and what direction it goes in. I don't want to come off as trying to "direct" this thread in any manner...it's for EVERYONE!
So go for it!! Oh, and rambling is something I ALWAYS do, lol, so your post was great...I don't notice any rambling!! 
The second thing is, Coach10169, I see a common interest already between us! I LOVE the Bleecker duffles!! That Bleecker line is one I ALWAYS mention when I give examples of lines from Coach that were "me" and bags with leather I LOVED!!! A while back, I did end up selling some of my duffles, but I still have quite a few. At one point I think I had all of them but pool and white. Anyway, I also like the bag in your avatar...I recently bought the textured metallic hobo in silver, and I also LOVE it!! Is it the great leather?? NO, but it fills my requirement of being "unique and edgy"...very "space age", lol, and I LOVE all the pockets. It's very comfortable to carry. So I definitely love some of the old and some of the new!! I just hope the metallic doesn't wear off.
I'm quite certain I overlap with a lot of you, so I'm interested in seeing more goodies from the recent past and older past!!
The other thing I wanted to say is DON'T GIVE UP on finding some of the oldies but goodies at outlets!! It always amazes me what people are willing to return months (years) later.
Not that it's not Coach's fault for allowing it, but it admittedly always bothers me a bit. Although I think it hurts Coach, sometimes it's a great benefit to others... I managed to step in a heck of a GREAT deal at the outlet a couple of months ago! They JUST put out a camel Legacy Leigh at my outlet! I'm going to link an Ebay auction for those who have no clue what bag I'm talking about. I realized as of late I mention stuff expecting everyone to know what I mean without pics. It's NOT my auction, but I'm too lazy to go fetch my Leigh.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...Category=63852&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2
It was $104!!
Then the other week I was back again at my outlet, and I saw someone return a boutique Miranda in black!!! Not the MFF ones! I was thinking man, if that was the color I'm looking for, I would have been SO sold!! I think it was around $250, but I have since forgotten. I'm linking a thread where mbparcia posted her Miranda for those that don't know what bag I'm talking about:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/who-out-there-owns-a-miranda-421137.html#post9722652
So the occasional older outlet "find" at the best price EVER is possible!!!
Regarding purging items in the past that you now regret... I think we all have to be realistic as to why we got rid of the bag in the first place. Unless you got rid of it under duress, there's usually a darn good reason WHY. For ex, I know a LOT of the '06/'07 Legacy didn't sell because of the weight issues. That's actually why a lot of you returned the bags or sold them. I don't think this issue is going to go away (or probably not), so unless you are the type to just keep a bag in the collection with no intention of carrying it (some are, but that's not me), then it was probably a great decision to let it go! I freed up finances or space...whatever the benefit in selling, kwim??
One ex. of mine where I kind of periodically regret selling a bag that I sold a long time ago, is the beaded bag in the attached photo. I borrowed this from Ebay, but it was one of the original beaded bags I owned, and I loved it!! However, I carried it once, and the suede started getting dirty. It also was a bit small, and I had other bags I liked much more. I also owned some of the signature ones, which I was happy to get rid of because I just really didn't give a fig about the sig stuff...I just liked the beading, lol! So I got rid of these, but I do regret the blue suede now and then until I force myself to remember the reasons I sold it! Heck, I even had matching Uggs, lol!
Of course there are times when we do have some legit pangs of regret! I've done the same thing...sell and then have to rebuy. My two examples are a Bleecker lg duffle...had two and sold two, and then wanted to reclaim it again. Also a Gigi...same thing. Bought one, sold it, bought it again, sold it again, and then bought it for a third time and it's not leaving my house!! The thing is I started selling off specific colors for styles I had multiples that I didn't want to keep a full set because I needed the space or to free up funds, etc, and sometimes I regretted doing that! In general I don't let much go period, which is also a problem, but I realize that I need to think VERY carefully before making a decision one way or the other!
Anyway, I would just say if you feel bad about letting some of the old goodies go, try to think back as to why you sold it. Many times you did make the right decision!!
