Thank you!

All look good. I think #1 is a Prescott briefcase from the early 90s, #2 is a binocular bag and the last one is a geometric bag from 1997.

Thanks for the style names and dates too, whateve!

It's a 1993 style so it's probably Bottle Green.

You're welcome!

It's a 1993 style so it's probably Bottle Green.

There was also a 1992 Lightweights color called Ivy.

Possible. But the Minetta isn't in the 1992 Holiday Preview catalog, which it seems like it should have been if it was a late 1992 color. The Soho Bag in that catalog is pictured in Ivy and the color looks darker than the color on the Minetta Bag, it has a more grayish-black tone to it.

The earliest pic I have of the Minetta Zip is in the '93 Spring Preview, but there's no green shade at all listed in that book for the Lightweights. Bottle Green seems to have been a Fall 1993 shade, see the second pic. Trouble is that you can never depend on the catalog colors to be accurate. There are a few early 1992 pics where Ivy looks lighter and brighter than either of these photos.

Thanks for the pictures! I had Minetta in my files for 1993 too but I wasn't sure if it was available before that. Not only can't you depend on catalog pictures but the dyes they used on the Lightweights faded terribly. The zipper is awfully bright on that Minetta to have been put in a super dark green bag IMO.

Yep, I was wondering about that too.

I've never seen it but it looks okay. I have no idea of a style number.
