I don't think it is vintage. I don't keep records of jewelry except some of the stuff I've bought. I bought a lot of leather bracelets around 2012 with the Legacy collection but I don't remember this one. It could have been from the same collection. I saw a double wrap similar to that one.

I don't know when they started selling jewelry. I would guess after 2000. I have a catalog page from 2002 with a leather bracelet.

ETA: They may have started selling watches before other jewelry. I see watches on a 2000 wayback page but no jewelry.

Thank you, I have not seen any jewelry till the 2000s either, so I thought was not vintage, but I was intrigued. Again I appreciate your help as usual whateve.

Thanks.

Your info was very helpful, I found on the wayback page Jewelry starting early 2002, and yes.. watches before that. So I found this page on 2002, that shows the bracelet in silver, what now makes me think the one sold on Tradesy that was brass, could be a fake? Or a latest remake? I love mysteries, LOL

It might even have been one of these with the charm taken off. Pics saved August 2007 but they may have been released years earlier. No other info about sizes or anything else, sorry. There were matching necklaces too. So there definitely were brass versions.

Cute bracelet! I have some of the earlier pieces of Coach jewelry in brass and silver Coach and I generally like them more than some of the recent jewelry.

@whateve you're comments made me wonder if Coach ever used silver on bags? Probably not sterling silver but perhaps silver plate? I'm asking because I think the frame of my Lizard Clutch made in 2000 is plated with silver.

The links below show pictures of the bag before and after rehab. When I received the bag the frame looked very tarnished and it looked like silver, but the chain strap and hangtag were shiny. As soon as I rubbed a little metal polish on it the frame shined up beautifully. So I am thinking that it may be silver plate, but the creed and the Wayback description don't mention silver - so do you know if Coach ever used silver on bags? Thanks!

I have a weakness for the vintage "Made in Italy" Madison and Gramercy Coach bags from the 1990s, they just seem so special and lady-like! I have collected quite a few of the Italian bags over the years but I've always wanted one of the Limited-edition, numbered, Coach bags that were hand-made...

I don't know. I would expect they would mention it in the ad copy or on the creed. If they were to do it, it makes sense they would do it on something luxe, like your bag. Brighton used silver plate on their purses. I don't know if they still do.

Here it is! My latest and incredibly special vintage Coach addition! It checks so many boxes! A beautiful golden tan, fabulous condition, well stored and a bit of mystery about it!!! Haha and big and roomy.

I know this really can't be verified, but I want to post as much info as I can here and in another post, in case anyone comes across any catalog information in the future. I believe my bag could very well be the one posted in the advertising Catbird9 found, # 9510 and posted in the link below.

Down the center seam it measures 14 ", across the width, at the bottom of the tab attachments (it tapers somewhat from top to bottom), 17" and 4 1/2" across the bottom.

It's made in the style of the Shopping Bag, large #9565 which we have catalog pics with measurements to verify. There is also the Shopping Bag, small which I don't think there have been any catalog pics found as of yet (I believe it listed on a price sheet that has been posted). It has center seams, like the front center seam on the #9565 and rounded corners on the bottom, with the pieces that make up the bottom joined with a center seam that make the side of the bag and extend to the top of the bag.



Just for a little perspective, with the Janice sized Berk Zip and a newly refurbished Shoulder Purse, #9385. If anyone has any other information to add, the would be great!

I'll add another post with some other posting on a shorter version of this bag.

 

[Lake Effect]

Here are two bags that share the construction details of the Shopping Bag style, that are shorter than mine. It makes me want to speculate that there was a Shopping Bag large, small, tall and short!!!

Please refresh my memory, when "BK" is listed as the hardware code on a Coach item does that stand for "dark gunmetal"? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing these pictures/styles. I have seen some with a solid heart charm engraved with Coach and another with an outline heart and a tiny "diamond", so I guess they made them a lot along the years with different charms.

I don't! I can't remember why I got rid of it, maybe because of the shortness of the straps.

 

[BeenBurned]

Does anyone know the name and style number of this item?

Pictures in the listing aren't that great. The bag/wallet is in three sections. Front has c.c. pockets on front and back walls, center has zipped pocket and back has open pocket. Under the flap is another open pocket that goes to the full depth/bottom of the bag.

It's not MFF but doesn't have a tag with style number.

TIA.

Definitely not vintage. When you get it, show the creed and any tags inside the bag. Check deep inside the pockets for tags.

@whateve we were recently discussing whether or not Coach ever used precious metals to plate the hardware of some of their limited edition "special bags" and I think that I have the answer - Yes, they did!

I don't mean to fixate on a minor point. I know that the amount of precious metals generally used for plating base metals is very small - and it probably doesn't impact the value of the bag much - but I just think that it's makes the bag a little more "special".

I just noticed that the catalog description for the Limited Edition Retro Lindy Bag 9003 that was released for Coach's 50th Anniversary in 1991 says "Gold plated steel frame with knob closure". Some of the other Retro bags released at the same time mention brass hardware but the Lindy description specifically says "gold plated". So I looked at my Lindy bag and I think that the hardware really is gold plated. The color looks like gold and there's never been any tarnish, dullness, or discoloration, and I've had it for a long time.

So that also makes me think that my Lizard Framed Clutch really does have silver-plated hardware even though that wasn't stated in the description. It is a Limited Edition, numbered bag and the hardware looked like badly tarnished silver when I first got it, but it cleaned up easily and immediately with polish and now it looks like shiny silver. I don't think that the chain strap or the hangtag are silver plated, just the frame and snap lock.

Again, it's not a big deal but I just think that it's kind of nice and "special"!
