If you're asking why I talked myself out of a fourth, it is because the colors were too similar. Coach made several brown shades of it for some reason. The one I talked myself out of is the one on the right. I also have it in ink, which is a very dark navy.

Understand. Just that, on the right, is "my" shade of brown. I have exactly same colour boots. Do You remember, what colour it was? I also have green boots, why I ended up to dark green purse. And who doesn't have black boots??? I think there will be moment when I have to talk myself out of something...

I have to say that I'm impressed that as a newbie, you were able to figure out how to use the search function to even find that post! Nicely done!

I'm new with purses. Living in my country make people quite creative. Especially, who wants something different or even similar stuffs they sell here, at reasonable price. Internet is great tool when searching something special. I don't even remember when I have bought perfumes or jewelry from here. Over decades ago?? Only reason is, there does't excists what I want.

All I want to say is, many thanks ALL the helpers here. You advices are very valuable. Not least when you find out fakes and unreliable sellers. It's never ending work
(or hobby).

I believe that one was called British tan, but you need to understand that most sellers don't know the correct color names for bags that don't have the original tags. When I was looking for mine, nearly every seller called every brown shade "whiskey." In reality the one on the left was called wine, the one in the center rust. There was also putty which was a taupe color. To further complicate things, colors are going to look different on different monitors and depending on the seller's camera and photo taking skills. On top of all of that, if the leather hasn't been conditioned, it will look lighter than it is. When I got my British tan bag, I really thought I was getting taupe! It wasn't until I conditioned it that I realized its true color.

British tan is a standard color for Coach but it varies from collection to collection. They often used the color name saddle for very similar colors.

All are authentic. The first is the large, the second could be the standard saddle pouch. The last is a Madison Carnegie clutch. The straps are impossible to match, but if you have a Gracie, the straps might be interchangeable. I'm not absolutely certain of that; they could be different widths.

authentic multifunction purse #7219. It was considered a women's accessory. That is a keychain on the end and it appears to be original. A lot of times they get lost and replaced with something else. It is probably from the 90s.

Thank you for all the info Whateve! :smile1:

I've always wanted one of these. The color looks yummy! That thing with the hangtag looks like it is the zipper pull. You could just slide it onto the zipper loop.

The color is yummy!

Love that Periwinkle bag! :hbeat:

It's authentic. It isn't Cashin era but it is a Bonnie Cashin design. It is 9546 skinny tote. This one was probably made late 70s/early 80s.

Just want to add a comment about the seller, daniel4603.

I can't recommend him. Sellers who don't do their homework to verify that listings are authentic cannot be trusted. And sellers who mix fakes and authentic items are especially dangerous because you don't know what's real.

This is a current listing and although there's aren't many pictures, the Sabrina wasn't made in tattersall plaid:

I've only seen one Carnegie with a strap, but its strap is the same width as my Gracies.
