I believe that's a Chester Canteen #9982. There are a few on ebay right now.

Thank you! I couldn't see the other side of the bag as the seller hasn't posted a pic of that side. Needed to know if there was another pocket. Why does this have a different style number? :-s

Before 1994 the serial numbers didn't really stand for anything, as in they didn't identify the date, plant, or style number. So the bag in the listing was manufactured before 1994. I found this info here: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Coach-Serial-Numbers-the-Basic-Facts-/10000000034886433/g.html

Also for lthrbagadikt -
It's not a Canteen Bag. Canteens style number 9982 weren't introduced until 1995 and all of them have style numbers included in the serial number. This one is a Chester bag, style 9901 and probably from early 1992 when it was first introduced. A handful of the very earl;y ones still used the old 3+4 all-number serial number format. AFAIK there's no such style name as "Chester Canteen". The Chester has a zipped inside pocket and is about an inch bigger than the Canteen. Neither of them have an outside back pocket, just the front one.

Sorry for giving the wrong answer. I'll leave it up to the experts from now on lol!

I'm curious about this bag I got yesterday. Can someone tell me when they were made, and if you care for the leather in the same way as you would a true vintage Coach? I'd like to condition it but it doesn't feel as porous as my vintage Coaches. It's #17998 and the creed states that it is limited edition and made of glove tanned cowhide. It feels 10 times lighter in weight than the real vintage duffles and the leather is obviously thinner, which is great for me because I have back issues but love those giant duffles! Also, how much did they cost retail? Thanks in advance for any info! ImageUploadedByPurseForum1471439611.040757.jpg

Someone asked about a siimilar bag a week or two ago, maybe at the ATC thread. The style number isn't readable but it looks like it's from the Greenwich line, MAYBE a Greenwich Satchel, style 6137 but that's just a guess.

ETA - Yep, posts 16350 and 16364

Hi! This was part of the reissued Coach Classic line launched in 2013 (I think that's the year). These were almost universally disliked because the leather was perceived as too thin and stiff. Retail price was $395. I imagine that you'd be able to wash it like a vintage bag, and it takes well to moisturizers (Blackrocks, Apple, Coach). You won't see as much of an effect, I believe.

Thank you! The leather is definitely thinner, but I don't think I would be able to handle this size of a bag in the vintage Coach leather, as much as I do love that old style leather, so I think this one works for me. I wore her today and totally fell in love! Thanks again for clarifying!
