Interesting - I just noticed that Brown is not a listed color for this bag, but I've always thought mine looked Dark Brown. It doesn't appear to be dyed either, but I really don't think it's Mahogany. (Maybe dunking it will prove me wrong.) Is there any info that might show it was released in Brown at some point?
Dunking brought out the reddish of Mahogany - yeah! All this time I thought it was dark brown. Very glad to have the catalog colors you provided @Hyacinth.

For a very long time, Coach had mahogany as one of their standard colors. It varied from a reddish brown to a dark brown with almost no red in it at all, depending on the year and dye lot.

Thanks so much Hyacinth! Hello again to you and the other authenticators btw. It's that shopping time of year again! I got myself in a heap of trouble last holiday season with the Missus as I bought too many bags for her...

Makes sense. The inconsistencies continue . Thanks @whateve for the additional info.

Thank you so much, @whateve! May I ask one more question, please? Is it classic leather as opposed to lightweight?
