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! View attachment 3441937

The month and year of manufacture are in the creed.

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!

Coach made these in thinner leather partly because people were complaining about the weight of the original bags. For awhile, both this and the original version were available. I agree with MonsieurMode that the thinner leather won't respond to conditioning as well as vintage bags.

Hello, this bag was authenticated on its day but no style or (definite) style number could be offered, only saddle bag from the late 70s or so. I have some extra detail I was not aware at that time and didn't post, the buckles are engraved with SOLID BRASS USA, perhaps now it helps someone to remember or add some more info.
Thanks!

I remember authenticating this for you. I believe member Cameochi was told by Jed at Coach that it is style #9210 large saddle bag. I've never found confirmation of this, and as I mentioned before, that style number was used in 2000 for the Legacy East Large Hobo. The name "saddle bag" has been used multiple times, including styles #9988, #9851, #9014, and #9126, not to mention that lately Coach has referred to the classic pouch and the stewardess as saddle bags. It is not out of character for Coach to reuse style numbers and names.

The stamping on the buckles just confirms the era as late 70s or possibly very early 80s.

Yes, you are right you did. I was hoping that the stamping on the buckles could give a clue to pinpoint a bit more, but the info you ladies gave me already is indeed very much appreciated, thanks again!
