Thanks a million! What does @Hyacinth think?

It looks like she's got it! I stand corrected. You have to believe in the evidence in front of you until better evidence is produced. I wish Coach had shown the inside panel that had the stitched cc pockets in the catalog but that's why it's not easy to ID those smaller items. But it's definitely the same wallet. "The most consistent thing about Coach is their inconsistency..."

Saving the catalog scans to my files - thanks, Lake Effect!

:biggrin: Part of the fun is hunting the details, other part is sharing the info. Happy to contribute.
I never would have thought that wallet to have ticking.

It's the stitching on the cc pockets that really threw me. The ticking too but they were using that fabric in their cosmetic cases during that period anyway. I looked through all the wallet pics in my photo files, and some of those blasted pics are only the standard drilldown size, 281x281 pixels. Try looking at dozens of those, one after the other. Great way to give yourself a splitting headache, and I got one.

Even the bigger ones weren't much better. There weren't ANY wallets with stitched credit card slot edges newer than about 1995, and I looked at everything between the early 1990s and around 2000. The only pics that looked like they could be either one were from the leather Signature wallet line from 1997-98 and it was just impossible to enlarge the photos and still get a clear look. So I'm still surprised Coach apparently brought back a discontinued stitching detail several years after they'd discontinued it, although you'd think nothing Coach ever did would surprise me by now.

That stitching detail in wallets newer than the mid-1990s has been good way to spot a fake wallet from the wrong time period for a long time now. Guess we just found an exception.

Hi everyone. Can either of these bags be identified? I have them in my Pinterest but the links are dead and this was early in my Pinterest days before I’d relabel.

I used to own both of them years ago, purchased at my local consignment shop, before I started collecting vintage Coach, but I’ve sadly consigned or donated them long ago. Of course now I’m fondly remembering them and am hoping to track down similar bags. Any help would be appreciated.

The top one is Bleecker daily bag from around 2013. Style number is probably 29461.

The second one is a Chelsea Katarina shoulder bag from around 2011. Style number is probably 18901.

Hello ladies,

I have been looking in the usual places, Ebay, Google, Wayback Machine, here of course... but although I have found this bag in several listings, I can not say for sure how is actually called.

Finally I found this listing... is it correct? Mine is also the natural canvas, from 2004, style 6867. TIA

There's no photo or name for it in my files but if it looks like denim fabric it might be from the Denim Stripe line, the style number fits in with their number sequence 6854 to 6868 and the details are the same. I only have pictures of those styles in indigo blue denim fabric but I'm wondering if this one might be an outlet style since the listing you found shows a date code about 8 to 12 months later than the dates the others with the Sig fabric appeared on the Wayback pages. I'd definitely call it a Hippie style. The "Signature Stripe" style that was almost identical had a Sig pattern of Cs woven into the fabric, that may have been the full-price version.

Here are the style numbers right before and right after yours, 6866 and 6868:

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Thank you so much, actually I had found these on the Wayback pages, but I didn't think mine belonged to the same "family", because it didn't have the leather medallion. So thank you for the info that makes sense with the number sequence. I appreciate it as always. :smile:

The 6854 Denim Stripe Demi didn't have a leather medallion either.

But that follows the same pattern as the Signature version with the tone-on-tone C pattern that was probably the boutique version. Here are the Demi and a Tote from that line, 6641 and 6643. It's almost impossible to see the Sig pattern in these two website page pics but it's there:

Hello all, wondering if anyone knows anything about this tote? It’s about 14.5” x 9.5 x 4(on the bottom, as it tapers up).
Inside there are 2 hanging slip pockets, one on each side and a zipper closure. And a 10” handle drop. Was this an early market tote? Any help is appreciated! You guys rock!
