I only have one 1999 catalog and I can't verify the color, but that doesn't mean anything.
Thank you once again for checking into the colors from back then, Hyacinth. She told me that it is unusual, whatever the actual color turns out to be.
Hi all,
I just got back from the Coach outlet. I went to find a wallet to match my grass/cerulean Willis I just got. I didn't like the zippy wallet that matched it so I went to find something else (found an off-white wallet that matches the sides of the Willis so I'm happy!)
I found a purse I couldn't pass up. It was originally $328, marked down to $169, and was 50% off of that, so it was $84! It was the only one there like it. I'm thrilled. It's going to my best friend since she's been looking for something in this color.
Anyway, I have 2 questions. 1) The zipper comes completely apart (like on a sweatshirt). Is this on purpose? The end of the zipper looks finished, so I'm thinking maybe it's supposed to be this way? It's no problem getting the zipper to fit and zip up properly. Maybe that's why it was marked down so much? And 2) What's the name/style of this purse?
Thanks a bunch!
P.S. That jade Kristen Sage posted above me is to die for.

Yes, those zipper styles are common on gallery totes. Some people prefer not to zip them up. Some sellers call them jacket style zippers.

Personally, I think they're a PITA to zip. Although they allow easier and fuller access to the inside, I prefer a zipper that stays closed at the bottom.

Thank you! I suspected it was from the men's line. I was intrigued by the calf's leather. It made it seem like a pinnacle bag.
Nice find at a great price!
I think they are called "breakaway zippers" and I don't care for them personally but they are common in several styles of coach bag. As far as the name/style of the bag, it is probably a gallery tote like NSP said, but what is the number on the creed patch inside the bag and what did it say on the price tag?
I saw this wristlet on Ebay, and I was wondering if anyone could identify it. What year is it from? Thanks for your help!

I can't find it in my files but the seller's name for it is probably pretty close. Coach might have just called it a Leather Turnlock Wristlet or some similar name. Looks like it dates from between 2001 to maybe 2005 at the latest so if you go by the usual definition of "vintage" being 20 years old or more, it's not vintage.
I'll keep looking for a name.
