Once again, need some expertise on some older Coach finds from a recent Coach hunting expedition. All are styles I haven't dealt with before, have included numbers - where made on each of these, in case creed pix are hard to read:

Bagged 1: In my possession
Style/Description: No idea on style on this, it looks very old, the color is weird - inside is definitely BLACK - but outside of bag looks like brown that was dyed black, it has a hang tag that could be original, 1 sided, black.
Approx size 10"w x 7"h x 2.5"deep, #0371-938, "Made in the United States"
Link: http://photobucket.com/bagged1

Bagged 2: In my possession
Style/Description: Janice's Legacy? Brown
Approx size 9"w x 7"h x 4.5"deep, #G3w-9950, "Handcrafted in China"
Link: http://photobucket.com/bagged2

Bagged 3: In my possession (this should be a store name :)
Style/Description: Is this Coach/What is it.. seems nicely made, nice weight, size (and a YKK zip!!!! ::grin:: ):
Approx size 12"w x 8.5"h x 4" deep, NO NUMBER, Creed Patch sewn in "Made in Italy"

Thanks in advance for your assistance on these,

Seller: applehomeaccents

Comments: I have this bag in Tan. This bag looks to be the same except for the lining color. The color is Walnut. Did Coach make this in Walnut as well?
Thank you in advance!

ETA: The lining color may just look off to me due to the flash.

1- Might be a Pocket Bag although Coach gives the length as 11 inches rather than 10, but the other details match. Could the length be optomistically measured at 11 inches, do you think? The bag would be from around the very early 1990s. I'm not completely sure, maybe DemRam or other posters could suggest other possibilities. There aren't many bags that were made at that time with those side-buckle straps.

I can't even guess what was done to the color.

2- looks ok, made in 2003

3- (Cough) Ignoring the "YKK" dig ... ;)
It's from the 1992 Dakota line but I don't have a style name or number (probably #4202 though since that's the only number in the Dakota sequence that's not accounted for), unfortunately, and the only catalog I have showing the Dakota line doesn't show that one. The irony is that I have exactly the same bag so I know it's genuine. :D

It is definitely closer to 11" than 10 at the widest point.
The color is fascinating (well.. in a vintage sorta way) as most of the trim leather is black and the body is 'brown/black' - on the strap very much so - I first thought it was a 2 color spectator that needed a bath. The inside is all black though, and no sign of that having been dyed over, so my current guess is it's leather from different tanning batches that has faded unevenly.
Any other clues to its identity are much appreciated.

That helps alot - I'm glad you can verify that it's genuine, it's such a nice bag - needs a little TLC, but will clean up well - my first Italian Coach!
