Hi, could you please check this one out?

Item: Vintage Authentic Coach Leather Purse Shoulder Bag Tote Charcoal Gray 0472 134
Listing number: 272623854669
Seller: seig_us

Genuine, probably one of the Bucket Bags from the Lightweight line and made in the early 1990s. The color is more likely to be a faded black rather than Charcoal Gray like the seller says. I don't remember Charcoal being available in those styles.

Thank you very much. I'm specifically looking for a gray bag so I appreciate the information.

You may want to ask about the actual color in your posts, Charcoal wasn't available very often and a lot of sellers mistake the faded black for gray. For instance I know that Flannel Grey ( a bit lighter than a true Charcoal) was available in vintage styles but not in the Lightweights from around 1986 to about 1988 and then pretty much disappeared for some years. It was available in 1997 on the Neo fabric bags and for a year or two around 1995 on both Natural Grain and Nubuc Sonoma styles (called Slate and also a bit lighter than true Charcoal), but other than that the only true Charcoal I found was my 1999 Willis. And believe me, I LOOKED. I love Charcoal Grey in handbags and they're very hard to find in vintage and classic Coaches. Often sellers will call a gray-ISH color Charcoal by mistake.

There may have been a few others but those are the ones I was able to find in a quick flip through my catalogs.

Here are a few from Etsy that I think are grey. Grey ones often have nickle hardware. They are not my listings. You should have them authenticated if you are interested.
