That color chart is from 1981-1982. Bonnie Cashin used some great colors. Once she left, the colors got more traditional. I have color charts from 1964 and 1965. I had a mini safari in pink.

Oh wow! These are precious! Thank you! Where in the heck did you find these? lol! These would be perfect and belong in the Vintage Coach Catalogs section, don't you think?? Would be quite a nice addition, especially for people like myself, which I am sure there are many, who refer to those catalogs for color references. all the time! I hope you will add them? In the meantime, they are going in my saved files! lol! Thanks so much!

Hi Authenticators- I was wondering if you would help me determine the authenticity of some bags I've picked up at flea markets/yard sales, please? Thanks in advance!
This tan belt bag. Unfortunately it did not come with a hangtag.

And this watermelon tote. I'm quite sure this one is authentic as it came with the paperwork pictured (the booklet is from 1976). Unfortunately it needs a lot of rehabbing.

Last one- this duffle. This might be outside the scope, so I apologize for that!
