Gosh I didn't even think to get a picture of it for TPF but at a party over the weekend a close family friend had the cutest all-leather crossbody. We talked bags for a bit. It is always fun to see an older Coach! I'd never seen the style before: slim, small, squareish dimensions but with that wonderful flat bottom that is sort of oblong shaped with the heavy piped seam all around. And it had a teeny tiny silver hang tag. So cute! I asked her to check the creed sometime so I'd know the style but for now it is a mystery bag.

My friend got back to me with the creed number and her bag is the Mambo Small Hobo Messenger Crossbody 9062. I am attaching a picture I found online. The most fun part was she gave me the full creed number so I was able to tell her how to decode the creed and we dated her bag to August 1998 (at US plant C). She thought it was so fascinating how one can figure that out. Ah! Share the Coachie wisdom!

My boyfriend is so sweet and funny. He took this wildlife shot and texted it to me because I'm always pointing out interesting handbags to him when we're out together. I've educated him!! And he loves vintage Coach and vintage Dooney. We've even rehabbed a vintage Coach briefcase for him that he bought for $20 on eBay!

I keep meaning to post this. About two weeks ago, after work, leaving a convenience store, a woman was coming in with Dreamer in denim, with tea rose stitching, forget the exact name. I see lots of contemporary signature in painted canvas regularly (is Coach handing that out?), but this was the first Dreamer I’ve seen, not in a store ,lol.
