has anyone figured out what any of these are?? Any help is greatly appreciated :)

We are just ordinary people volunteering our time to help out other members. I already identified those that I know about. Unless someone has a catalog that has them in it or bought the same wristlet and saved the tag, there is no way to know. You can search yourself on ebay or on the Wayback machine to see if you can find them. You can also look through tpf threads to see if anyone posted the same wristlets some time in the past.

Very few of the newer wristlets from the last 12 or 14 years are even in the catalogs. They usually only show a few and those will be the ones that match the handful of featured handbag styles in that catalog. There's absolutely NO way to know each and every style name or even number of small accessories like wristlets or wallets.

msvanillagoddes, keep this in mind - Coach style numbers are already up into the 25,000-plus numbers, and that's mostly just purses. There are thousands more numbers NOT included in that total for things like wristlets, wallets, Swingpacks, Cosmetic cases, and Men's bags and accessories. There are also hundreds, maybe thousands, of styles especially smaller items like wristlets that were made only for the Factory Outlet stores and had names and numbers that never appeared anywhere on Coach's website or anywhere else on the Internet.

We've already explained that many of the styles' you're asking about could belong to a bunch of different families and there's no way to identify them, especially without style numbers. In the future, if you buy something that comes with a price tag, you need to save the tags.

I don't think you would get much from calling the regular Coach 800 number. You might be able to contact Jed Winokur, their archivist. A few people on tpf have talked to him.

Thanks so much for the info on the archivist. I am going to see what I can do. Personally, since it's the largest of the Dakotas, I think it "should" be called the Bismarck. Of course, Coach just may not agree! :D
 
That's a great name!

I am glad you like it! :smile1:
The 4202 arrived today and I did not realize how big is actually is. It looks much nicer in real life than in the photos. It was a bit pricey but well worth it. The more I look at it, the more I think it should be called a Bismarck. :D I absolutely love this bag!
I left a message with Jed Winokur today so hope to hear back from him. Coach has a funky answering system. If I don't hear anything by next week, I will call again. The 4202 needs a name! I will let you know what I find out.
 
This is my Legacy Anniversary bag, it has that round stamp in the upper corner of the creed. I think it means it was an over stock item and probably sold at a outlet. Any know if that mark devalues the bag? :shucks:

Lots of bags have the outlet stamp. I don't think it devalues the bag but that is in the eye of the beholder. I don't see it affecting the ebay auctions I've watched. Then again, I think that most ebay buyers don't even know the difference between factory and full price. I've seen the factory versions on Legacy bags go for as much as the full price versions.
 
Hi there! I'm new here, I think I've become an accidental collector. Didn't realize over the years I have collected 8 Coach Handbags one wristlet and have one to be delivered Tuesday! Most of my collection has been purchased at Thrift with only 3 purchased new.

One of the new ones, my first Coach bag, I cannot seem to identify. I'll post a picture and the serial number is A8P-9044. I bought it at TJMaxx back in the 90's.

I love this cute bag! I have it in black. It's a geometric clutch from 1998.

Aww, thanks whateve! Do you have the correct shoulder strap for yours? When I bought mine it was missing so I went to the boutique they were able to sell me a workable strap, but it's not the one with the snaps. Thanks again for the help!

You're welcome! Yes, mine has the correct strap. I was wondering how you would make it work with a different strap. Do you just slide it through the loops and attach the clips together?

It is cute and I found a few black ones listed. Interestingly the seller of this one states that she had the hardware switched from brass to nickel. Just checking authenticity before I decide if I really 'need' it and try to convince seller to ship internationally.
