Hello everyone. I'm wondering if any knows the style numbers and names for the NYC double kisslock bags and the suspender kisslock bag. I've attached some links so you will have the dimensions, etc. I have two of the double kisslocks - one with leather inside like the one in the link and another with the striped lining that has the black lines. Any info will be most appreciated. My double kisslocks are 9" h x 5.5" w x 4" D. The second link to the suspender kisslock is mine but it's not here yet. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if they had numbers. I would suspect that at least the one with the creed should have a style number, but maybe only styles that persisted after a certain date were given numbers and names. I've seen some print ads for some of the Bonnie Cashin designs and there were no style numbers or even names mentioned. Someone had a double kisslock in the original box, but it didn't have a name or number on it. Possibly when Coach started producing catalogs, they realized they needed names and numbers. I don't know when that was.

The names in the beginning were very basic like "shopping bag" and I think they reused the names over for different styles. When styles were reintroduced they often had different names, i.e. the stroll tote was previously called the patch pocket bag.

Maybe Sacs Magnifiques would know.

Hello, it's been a long time since I have posted on the forum. I've kinda been out of the coach loop lol

I recently bought a Coach Willis color block off of eBay. I'm a little confused though, I've looked at three different bags and all have a different seriel number.

The bag I bought has the numbers H1269-19031

But I have seen two other numbers H1276-21741 and G1269- 19031 .

What I'm trying to figure out is, what is the difference and what Willis version do I have?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!!

The numbers after the dash are the style number. The numbers before the dash indicate the date and place of manufacture. Two bags of the same style will have the same style number, but not necessarily the same numbers before the dash. Two of those numbers you provided have the same style number, 19031. This is the style number for the regular sized colorblock Willis. They were made in the same plant, same year, but in different months. The style number 21741 is for the mini colorblock Willis. It was made in the same year as the other two, the same month as one of them, and a different plant.

Here's some information about serial numbers: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Coach-Serial-Numbers-the-Basic-Facts-/10000000034886433/g.html

Thanks, Whateve. I've looked and looked and couldn't find anything either. I will check with Sacs Mag and see if she knows anything. I have another bag here (original Musette) and she does not mention a style number for the one she has on her web site either.

If you find anything, let me know.

What is the color of the bag in the listing referenced here, and in case it gets too old and not viewable, I'll include the picture:

Is it British tan?

I think it is camel. It looks a lot like the first two pictures. It might be saddle. The last picture shows saddle on the left.

Thanks. I'm trying to identify the color of a bag I found. It's almost orange (but definitely not terracotta).

I can't tell whether it's camel or saddle.

This is where the date codes come into it, Coach changed the Sonoma colors every year. If memory hasn't played tricks on me, the prefix was C7E- .

Saddle was mainly a Spring & Summer 1996 color, and it's not listed in either of the 1997 Spring or Summer catalogs as a Sonoma color, but Camel IS shown as a 1997 color. So my best guess would be Camel.

That's very helpful.

My bag is L6E so it's saddle! Thank you very much.

OOOOPS, sorry! I thought it was the bag from the November thread at ATC.

OOOOPS, sorry! I thought it was the bag from the November thread at ATC.

My bad. I was just looking for color because I thought that's what color my bag was. I didn't realize there were different similar colors depending on the year made. I was being lazy and trying to avoid posting my own picture.

I didn't mean to confuse you!
