That seems to happen a lot on this forum. Usually there are three. So maybe there is another one out there!

Comments: I saw the one Valv54 just posted but this one appears darker. Could this one also be jade?

As always, THANK YOU!!

It's authentic. It could very well be jade.

So far they've all been D5C- prefixes. If they all turn out to be Jade it must have been a very limited production color made only in one plant and for just a few months. The few 1995 catalogs I have don't even mention Jade as a color option, only Bottle Green, so I hope everyone gets the color they're hoping for.

Bottle Green is the only color listed in the 1995 Spring and Summer catalogs but Coach has sometimes made special colors, sometimes for one of their retail partners. I had a genuine Scribble Stitch Tote with Jade leather trim and even though each Scribble Stitch style came with only one trim color specific to that style, I also found a genuine one on Ebay in a Lime color leather trim that the seller said she'd bought at Macy's.

ETA - Interesting that most of them so far have Outlet stamps. I'm wondering if it was a MFF bag. It's hard to imagine it being brought out as a boutique color and then sent to the Factory stores, it wouldn't have lasted more than a few weeks on FP- store shelves.
