Can someone help me ID this bag? (I own it). The number is 6137.

Thanks in advance!




I was hoping YOU could tell ME! :D

Seriously, someone just asked at Ebay about a similar bag style 6135 and when searching Ebay I found yours too. They were both made in 1999 but I can't find either style in any catalog so they must have had a very short production run. The "ticking stripe" lining was probably a salute to the old Ticking Stripe lining that a lot of 1970s and 1980s accessories like cosmetic cases had because these are the only late-1990s styles I've seen it in so far. Here's the Ebay forum post:

There's no doubt both styles are completely genuine but they're a complete mystery to me. Let's hope anyone with more information on that 1999 line will post it here.

EDITED TO ADD: Denimbarks just posted at Ebay that she thought they were part of the Greenwich Collection, which is a line I've never heard of. But that helps a bit, at least. :smile1:

Speaking of the long-lost Denim (I've missed her!), she posted today!! http://forum.purseblog.com/ebay-forum/feedback-manipulation-704689.html#post19904132

Yep, it was good to finally see her ID at Ebay's CAB too, I was afraid the nutjobs had soured her on the whole forum thing. I hope she stops by here a lot more often. :smile1:

YO DENIM !!! :woohoo:
 
Can you help me?? I finally received my Oct 2011 issue of Glamour and in the beginning of the magazine there is a Coach ad featuring the most gorgeous bag I've ever seen! It's a slouchy, soft-looking cognac-colored leather with gold HW, rolled leather handles and a zip top. I MUST HAVE IT. I looked on the Coach website and I *think* it may be a Madison Sophia but I am not sure. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Can you show a photo? It might be an upcoming style not yet on the website.

Knock, knock. So this is where y'all are hanging out!

I'm not sure where I first heard about the Greenwich collection, but I suspect is was from the queen of all goddesses, the lovely MSG. I had a saved search for them on eBay for a while, because you know how I loved to track down those oddball collections from the late 1990s.

I only came up with two styles prior to seeing this one, and I don't have official names for either. 6135 is an open tote, 14x11x5.5. 6136 is a small east-west type bag, 12x6x3.5. And now we can add the Satchel to the list! The ones I have photos of were in a black twill, but there may have been a lighter color available as well. (Sorry, two computer crashes have left me reference photo-challenged.) They all have the ticking lining and the darker patina-ish leather trim.

I don't recall if I ever found them in a catalog, but when I get a chance I'll dig through mine and see.
 
ooops....new to photobucket. Here's another view:

That looks like a Madison Lindsey in the Persimmon color! It's new and not on the website yet (should be later this month). The style number is 18641 and I'll attach a DD pic for you. It also comes in Black, Mahogany and Dove. HTH!

Thanks, Denim!

I'm just amazed that none of these Greenwich styles have even been posted here until the last few days, you would have thought that the Ticking Stripe lining would have caught a lot of attention, or at least a few "Is this REAL???" posts. They look like interesting bags, whatever you can find would be welcome!

You haven't heard from MSG either? That's sad - she seems to have just vanished. That lady has probably forgotten more about classic and vintage Coach than I'll ever have time to learn. It's depressing to see how many of the experienced posters and sellers have vanished from the Ebay forums and even from Ebay, but looking at the way Fleabay's been treating the so-called "small sellers" over the last five years, who could blame them? :cry:

Too bad most of the newer posters couldn't have known it the way it was - the experience and knowledge people shared was amazing! I learned a HECK of a lot from those ladies, including you.
:ty:

Don't vanish on us again, OK? :hugs:

(Here are the Greenwich 6135 and 6137, if anyone wants to watch for them on Ebay)
