There was no color I would think of as "light green", just several green shades. Coach usually changed or added Sonoma colors at the change of seasons, not at the the start of the calendar year. They also used 2 different sets of colors, one for natural grain leather and one for nubuc. Since colors in digital photos seldom are the same exact color the human eye sees, I don't get involved in trying to figure out what color a bag in a listing might be, and I don't have all their color samples either.

The bag in the listing is probably Sea.

Thank you! I should have been more specific. I meant the natural grain, 4919.
Trying to get true colors on the internet is difficult. I used to have a device made for artists that calibrated my monitor to true color, but I quit bothering with it because no one else uses one.

BTW, the actual Sea color wasn't nearly as Aqua as what's shown in the photos. Below is one of Coach's pages from the Spring 1996 catalog but I don't know how close it is to reality. Maybe someone who's owned one can comment.

I don't know if anyone can help with this. Purchased on the bay and there's isn't anything specific about it that makes me doubt it's authenticity other than I can't find another one like it ANYWHERE and there is no Coach stamp on the back of the charms. The clip seems right and the little hang tag is identical to the one on my bought-straight-from-Coach Baseman Emmanuel Hare Ray fob. I can't even find this on any of the overseas sites.

Hi Everyone
I used to be a Gucci vintage authenticator on this forum but I havent been on in awhile. I found this Coach satchel today and I cannot find the number anywhere or the style. If anyone could be so kind as to look at it and tell me if its authentic or not I would greatly appreciate it. I just have to figure out how to put images on..lol

Can't see the pictures :-\ It's asking me to sign up for the website. I like using Imgur since you can drag and drop pictures to create an album really quickly and easily!

It looks ok to me but I can't find a name for it.
 
well here's the scoop. i just posted it on ebay, and they pulled it, claimed it is a FAKE. what can i say to them? i have no idea why they pulled it!!

Was it a VeRO removal? I have no idea why it would have been removed.

Anyone else here is more than welcome to take a look at it and see if there's anything I missed.
