They did quite a few shearling bags and accessories about 9 or10 years ago - that might have been around the same time that UGGs really started getting popular here.

The 8B30 Tote is just listed as "fur". Now if you want to get into fur that isn't shearling, we got rabbit, we got coyote, we even got mink... But that's another story. I suppose they don't have coyotes in Oz, but do rabbits and sheep get made into handbags?
And more shearling... I know they did some jackets and hats too. I always wanted one of the hats.

Have you seen the fur Tanner? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Coach-L...304?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item27de3d69e8
These are all recent bags.

I hate to say what those Tanners remind me of !!! :lolots:
ETA - These are two of the most unusual fur items they've had. The Puffer Coat looks cool and would keep your dog dry but would probably end up as it's chew toy. And I'm still not sure what the second one is. It's NOT numbered as a handbag (60216 is the number), so - hand warmer? Dog carrier? I have NO idea! The style number sequence is in the same range as pet accessories and umbrellas.

Update from Jed Winokur - Coach archivist. The closest handbag Jed found was the Cartwright 4208 and he sent a photo of it.
Here is his response:
I wasn't able to findyour bag in our catalogs. The closet one I could find was the Cartwright Bag#4208. I have a feeling you have seen this catalog page from our Spring 1992catalog? Dakotas use style #'s 4200-4208 but there is no 4202 depicted orlisted.
So a chance that youhave the #4202 which may have been released and not shown in catalogs or notreleased w/ only a few surviving. Thanks for sharing, we don't have [it] in theArchive collection!
I told Jed I am naming it the Bismarck as it is the largest of the Dakotas and Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota. I asked him to please join us here and also asked him if he would like to add a 4202 to the archive if we come across another one. I just got home so have not heard back from him yet. It seems that a few of us have something very special!

My dogs would be horrified! They are a bit sensitive about the use of fur, you know. It strikes them as a bit too close to home!
ahhh...thanks for the stock photo of that soho shearling E-W duffle thingy. I used to know the name but I'm drawing a blank now. I did a major rehab on one and it came out cute, except...it's too East-West to close with just a magnetic snap. If it had a zipper, it would be a fun little bag.
The bottom one looks like it might be a blanket and the straps are holding it closed.

Yes, they might think it was a relative. (Or a potential lunch!)
Good dogs! (Hands each of them a doggie biscuit). We don't do fur, the closest I'll get is shearling. If the animal it comes from isn't usually a food animal, we don't wear its fur or skins either.
Yep. Probably a stadium blanket, so lap-sized.Maybe. I wonder if Coach has it on file? That would be an expensive blanket.
Cool! A previously unknown collector's item!
And it can't be a Cartwright because I have one of those too, and the 4202 has an extra line of the tan trim on both front and back that looks like it could be the top of a pocket but it's not. Both of them are pictured in Whateve's post here:

"Bismarck" sounds ok to me too. Or since we already have a Cartwright, how about giving it the family name of the "other" 1960's "big-ranch-with-widow(ed)(er)-head-of-family" program, the one with Lee Majors and Barbara Stanwyck. Was it Barkley?
Or even better - since there's already a Cassidy, how about a Sundance? I think Robert Redford deserves equal time!

No we don't have coyotes here and thankfully we don't make things out of dingoes or koalas. Kangaroo leather for bags and belts etc is popular and of course UGG makes boots and bags from sheep skin / shearling. Also there's knitted items from possum fur. Like you I'll only wear things that are made from 'food animals' so even though the possum fur knits are lovely and soft I won't buy them. We have a family of possums living in a cupboard in an old shed and we hand feed them fruit so I couldn't bear the thought of turning them into a pair of gloves or a scarf!
I don't think I'll be buying this particular line of Coach, but each to their own ....

That's amazing and how exciting! I'm surprised that Jed hasn't made an offer if they don't have one in their archives.Cool! A previously unknown collector's item!
