Does anyone know what the official name of this color is? This a Janice from 1992. A customer is asking so I thought I'd try and find out. Thank you!

It's probably either Forest Green or Black. I think we can rule out British Tan, Burgundy, Camel, Mahogany, Navy, Putty, Stone or Tabac.

It can't be a Janice from 1992. The Janice's Legacy wasn't introduced until 1994. Check your serial number or post a photo of it here.

It's from 2002 and not vintage for another 6 years.

I had it authenticated before I purchased it. This is a photo of the serial number. Wouldn't it have an 02 if it was from 2002?

No. In 1992, Coach was still using unique serial numbers. They put in the system with the year in the serial number in 1994. They didn't start using double digits for year until 2004. You violated etsy policy selling a 2002 bag as vintage.

Ok. I'm still learning, but now that you say it I remember that the unique serial numbers started in 2004. I guess I was thrown off by the the fact that 9950 is the actual style number for the Janice bag. I thought the numbers previous to 1994 were meaningless. Anyway, thank you for the information! I will contact the buyer and let know that the bag is not vintage as I thought.

Yes, 9950 is the style number and it is a Janice. There are no Janice bags that have unique serial numbers. You are right in that numbers previous to 1994 are meaningless. They are also all numeric. If you see any letters in the creed, it was made after 1994. Since your bag was made in 2002, it does have the style number in the creed as well as the date. The Dominican Republic was a give-away too, since Coach bags were all made in the US prior to 1994.

Your statement "I remember that the unique serial numbers started in 2004." makes no sense at all.

That was a slip up. I meant to say 1994.
