Mahogany? I'm surprised! I think it maybe bottle that faded. Here it is with the other two greens with and without flash. There's no way it was the brighter one!

I've had several forest green items that were almost black. I had an olive Chauncey from the same time period. It could be the same color, just more worn.

I keep thinking it's olive but since it's not mentioned in the catalog pics it makes me wonder. Have you found bags in colors never mentioned before?
Definitely! I wouldn't count on catalogs for a complete list of colors. As long as we have proof the color was made in the same time period, it is very possible it was made in that particular style.
Actually, my Chauncey might have been sage. That color is mentioned in the catalog.
I like sage! Saw a nice olive green Willis recently that maybe sage. Not sure.
The olive green Willis I had was made in 1998, so definitely a different era.
Thanks Catbird9.... I learn something new every day on this forum!
Hello ladies, Happy Easter to all!
I have to ask your opinion. In these pictures do the grommets look silver to you? Could be the lighting? I know about the possibility of these bag having brass and silver hardware, could be the strap was replaced, but also a sign of being fake. TIA

I'm not seeing silver grommets, they look the same color as the brass buckles to me. Maybe you can ask the seller for closeup picture showing a buckle next to grommets. Make sure you get a clear picture of the creed also, to authenticate it.
Sage was in the Spring 1992 catalog but had already disappeared by Fall 1992. Willises didn't come out until Fall 1993.
Thanks Catbird9 for your reply.
I guess I have a follow up... TIA
I am looking for a summer bag (white, bone, ivory..), vintage Coach of course
and my question is, how far back Coach made bags in those colors? I have seen the Bonnie Cashin ones, but not many classic ones like... the Couriers, Crescent, Saddle Bags... may be I missed them, LOL
Like the bag on my previous post, I thought the grommets could be silver, so if that was the case had to be fake, because "also" I had not seen one in that color before, so much to learn yet!

Not all are vintage nor what you're looking for but a "Coach vintage white" search turned up these:

Oh gosh! Sorry... you didn't have to do a search for me, I appreciate it though.
I was thinking of those styles that I normally find in black or brown, and not often in other colors, like the saddle bag or courier. I guess if at the time of Bonnie Cashin they were making light color bags, pre creed bags were also made in those colors. OK, I will keep looking then.

Just a word of caution, the light-colored bags can be difficult to rehab; I've learned the hard way to pass on light bags unless they are in good shape.
