I saw that conversation and when I saw this bag wondered if it was an example of what everyone was talking about.
Yes confused ...but will leave all that confusion for you guys...I just get them chacked out here first.

No, the bag you asked about is an example of the Mid-2000-Decade Confusion. The conversation at the ID This Coach thread is about the Late 2020 Style Number Confusion. NOT to be confused with the circa 2012-2014 New Styles With Some Old And Some New Style Numbers Confusion, or with the 2014-2017 What The Heck Do We Need Serial Numbers For? Confusion.

Hope that clears things up.


Aaaaaaaand now, It's MANTRA TIME!!!

All together now - "The only consistent thing about Coach is their inconsistency..."

It's snowing in the Philly 'burbs! Sort of. If you don't look at the sidewalk or streets, it's really pretty. In between glimpsing the snow, I found a duffle sac on ebay in one of my missing three colors: Olive Green, color of the year in 1994. I bought it then and hope to have it authenticated now:

USA Excellent Vintage COACH GREEN OLIVE XL BUCKET DUFFLE BAG HANDBAG PURSE #9085
Seller: simplyprada
Number: 184573362222
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-Excell...362222?hash=item2af96e002e:g:ckgAAOSwhnZf0QWH

Here's hoping!

It looks good to me!

Did you ever KNOW you saw something and then take HOURS to find whatever it was once more? That's how I felt with my reference to Olive green as the 1994 color of the year. So, hours later, I was mostly right. Olive Green was the color of the season in the 1994
late autumn catalogue. I knew I had seen it. Hopefully this is interesting to some. Definitely sanity-affirming for me. Thank you!
