Coach goes to the movies....

Speaking of Anne Hathaway, she has a Coach Backpack in the Princess Diaries and her friend Lilly chides her for carrying such an expensive bag. You can see the scene around 1:01 in the clip below and I've also posted a few blurry pictures of the bag. I don't know the name of the backpack but you can see the Coach hangtag when Lilly grabs the bag.



BTW, @BeenBurned and @Erilynn25 recently identified Anne Hathaway's backpack in The Princess Diaries as the Hampton's Backpack 7703 that was available in 1999 and 2000 for $248.

Just spotted the character, Sophie, on This Is Us carrying a Court (?) bag in episode 14 of season 1. (We Meet Again). I love it! If this is a court bag I think I need one! I didn’t realize they were so large.

Great catch, and great vintage bag whoever is on the wardrobe dept for that show! I also dig her coat, very nice outfit. She is probably tiny, (so the bag looks big) most actresses are.
 
Ok so this is not a actual Coach spotting but I know someone whose friend worked security for the most recent Super Bowl and she said some of the women were throwing away their purses because the NFL was not allowing them in the game. One lady threw away a Gucci! Makes me wonder if any Coach bags were tossed. Makes me wish for the first time ever I could have access to that garbage!
 
Thanks! Yes, I have the paprika Katerina. So this was one of the shiny, stiffer "Coach Classics" versus the glove-tanned "Coach Originals"?
I think so. I don't recall ever seeing this color in a vintage bag. There was an orange and a red orange made in the mid to late 90s but I don't think they made any classic styles in either color. I have a 1997 belted pouch in a true orange.

And one more, at your convenience, thanks in advance.
In my possession, my little burnt orange hippie girl! Approximately 8" x 5 1/2" x 3 3/4". Let me know if you like more/clearer pics! Same with brief bag above

I bought a deep orange bag a year ago in the fall on eBay. After dunking and conditioning, if definitely came out a shade deeper. Hyacinth dated my bag to the early 80’s. The more I look at that deep color of that Stewardess, I am wondering if my bag possibly started life as that color.
Edited - I will pull it out this weekend and see how true my pics were.
 
I absolutely love the orange Stewardess Bag carried by flight attendant Christina Applegate in View From the Top!

I vaguely recall hearing/reading something about the bags for the film being custom - but then again I may be hallucinating. I kinda dig it in orange (and I am not a fan of orange in general) The stewardess bag never gets old.
