Yes, the correct color is teal.

I can't imagine there was a bigger bag than the Gigi! The Gigi is huge -- it is probably 14 inches wide and 16 inches long. It is also a shoulder bag, although I don't find the straps all that comfortable (it's a 9" drop with stiff straps).

Could it have been the Legacy Shoulder bag? It's about 12" wide but only about 7" in length -- basically a short version of the Gigi. It also has a 9" drop, but it's more comfortable (IMO) because it's a single strap.

Did it look like this:

or this?

thanks so much guys for the responses! i am determined to track down this bag! I didn't realize the gigi was that big. the shoulder straps look a little shorter though than I prefer. the bag i saw did NOT have any buckes or anything like that on the outside I don't believe. the top of it had that classic coach "foldover" that dips down a little and the little closure that coach is known for. does this make sense? there was not much hardware on it at all, and it was a large bag.

I just searched for the "pond" on ebay and it's not it. the color is definitely of that of the teal legacy.

Hmm. Do you mean it had a flap? Or that it had the internal closures?

Maybe an ergo?

 

[ellenphant]

the color of it i am 99% sure is that legacy teal in that first picture.

i checked the coach website and the flap looked something like this if i remember correctly:

it was just a much bigger bag. i remember that it had that classic "clasp" because that's how i recognized it was a coach... hehe.

if there isn't much hardware on it, then it probably wasn't a legacy at all... and if it wasn't a legacy, it wouldn't be this same teal leather!

 

[dragonette]

is it this?

[ellenphant]

does anyone know when this is from, what collection, and what the "real" color name is??

 

[dragonette]

[Hisgeekygrrrl]

maybe it's a lindsay?

 

[ellenphant]

the color is right.. the style isn't the "one."

what exactly does "vintage" mean? sorry if that is a dumb question, lol! i appreciate the help really.

 

[dragonette]

vintage means old. haha! like, really old!

i don't even know how old they could go back to... 80's? 90's?

 

[Hisgeekygrrrl]

mineral color maybe

 

[ellenphant]

i checked and the lindsay had more hardware on it than i remembered. thanks though.

i am thinking it COULD be similar to this one. i don't remember the "braiding."

It says in the desc. it's a "hamptons." is that a legacy bag? is the color the same?
