OK this is a Coach item Name question. I’ve purchased several vintage Coach items, even a few fakes which I destroyed, and have a better idea of what I want to find/need. It has been expensive to buy and try however. I cannot afford to continue searching this way. I need one and done. My ideal handbag is as defined-
must have 55” strap to fit my body
must be minimum 12” tall to fit my favorite stainless water bottle
must be top zip no flap (arthritis)
must be 3.5” deep (water bottle)
must have exterior slip pocket (for phone).
Since I don’t have the extensive knowledge you all have, can anyone recommend a vintage Coach that will meet these requirement? Thank you for your help.
You should post this question in the vintage chat thread. Also look through the reference library to see if there is something pictured there that fits your needs. A 55 inch strap would be very hard to find. I think most are only 48 inches.
 
I cant remember the correct name...something like Coach shopper backpack?...cant seem to find a picture.
But if you know what Im meaning, anyone know if it came in a seagreen or seafoam colour?
I bet you mean this one:

Hello!
I’ve been looking everywhere for the bag that Olivia Wilde has in those pictures. From my research I somewhat gathered that it was a version of an Ergo (feel free to correct me!) Because I thought I had figured out what bag it was, I went ahead and purchased what I thought it was off of Poshmark.
However the bag I received was much smaller! It was about 16W x 12L with the straps making it 20. Her bag is much much larger than that. I’ve searched everywhere online and this seems to be the biggest version of the bag I can find.
Am I looking for the wrong bag? Does anyone know what size hers is so I can search that?

What's the style number of yours?
 
I found this purse which I am pretty certain is from the Coach Dakota line as it has the cross-hatch pattern and the creed says that it was made in Italy, but for the life of me, I cannot find it in any past catalog. Any idea on what this bag is called? I searched on Google and found an old listing photo from a few years back where someone called it a Cartwright, but that's not the bag pictured in the catalog with that name.

I got it at a local church thrift store and paid $30. One of the workers there told me she didn't think it was real because it didn't have "numbers on the patch." Any help would be appreciated! :smile:

Yes, this might be the one @Hyacinth has discussed on the Authenticate This COACH thread that did not seem to make it into the catalogs. I've tagged her to join the conversation when she can. I think she has the entire Dakota collection!

This is probably the mystery Dakota that several tpfers have but Coach has no knowledge of. Is it large, like 12 x 9 x 4 inches? I have it in my files as style # 4202 but I think someone made up that number because it was one that hadn't been used in the Dakota line. It is normal for Dakotas to not have numbers.
