Thank you whoever bought that! Am (impatiently) waiting for a bag and almost bought that one in the meantime. It looked a bit shiny ?? (I live in fear of polished bags
)

)I have a legacy zip exactly that color/age and it is darker British Tan. I actually prefer it to the more orangy BT. It's a darker whisky-ish BT.
Also have that same Mahog Patricia! You can tell it's mahogany by the inside suede - a nice chocolatey brown. The putty(?) ones are a bit more grey in tone.
It can make your head spin....
I have a question for all you AWSOME coachie rehabers....How and where do you store your bags?
Everywhere I can. Lol. All kidding aside, I have most of them in my closet. I also took over my toddler's closet where I have they ones that need rehab.It can make your head spin....
I'm lucky, I have a purse room. My son moved out and I took over his bedroom. Most are on bookshelves, a few are hanging on hooks. Most are in dustbags.It can make your head spin....
My rehabs take over my laundry room. It's annoying when I have to do a load of laundry and there are bags in the way.
That's interesting about the evolution of the BT color. It's hard to ID colors without seeing them in person, side by side. The suede definitely shows the distinctions better. One of the things I love about vintage Coach is how every bag is unique!
Here's a comparison of British Tans: 1995 Prairie Bag, 1980s Companion Bag, 1997 Bixby Sling:

I am a fledgling rehabber, but my smallish (somewhere under 13 bags) collection is stuffed everywhere. Most are in boxes in my tiny closet; I really need a system. Right now they are in boxes with anti-moisture packs tossed in. I use old cotton pillowcases as dust covers. It is not ideal.It can make your head spin....

Yes, she is chocolatey, I’ve never had one this color, I like it, Bag twins
Mine are all over the bedroom in different places, like I've got shelves inside a couple of closets filled with bags, some hanging on the wall, some sitting on a dresser, stuff like that. They're a bit out of control. I need to keep getting rid of some every time I bring them in. Luckily for me my husband thinks they're cool and rarely complains about them. He thinks it's a neat hobby. I do try and make them not too annoying in their presence, but well displayed or discreetly hidden.It can make your head spin....
My husband likes my hobby too as long I don't spend too much. He enjoys going to thrift stores. It gives us something else to do when we travel.
My rehab bags are almost all gone ( I have a thing now for new Coach bags). OCD and the Goodwill made me a little wild. I learned a great deal about styles of Coaches. I was on ebay for a year and sold about 140 bags ( after their rehab) & gave 50% of my profits to charity. I was great while it lasted and I had the lovely Bixby Sling. I make my own satin dust bags and have 5 coat trees to store my current 60 Coaches and 2 Kate Spades. I also have a 6.5 foot plastic shelf to neatly store them. I am wavering about this new cherry/chalk Taylor tote that UPS just delivered. I am used to sturdy pebbled leather from older Coaches and this is too soft.
