It depends on when it was made. Coach changed, added and deleted colors on a regular basis, and several new colors would be added every year. If a color was available on the classic styles during Year X and Season Y, it was probably available on the Prairie Bag.

Find a color you like and have it authenticated, unless someone has the spare time and is willing to look through years and years of files and catalogs and individual season"s worth of available colors. What's available is what's available. You can't call up the Used Handbag Factory and order one in the color you want, so be patient and wait to find a color you like and in the condition you want, and that's confirmed as authentic. Narrow your search down to a specific color and take your time looking for it. Good collections require time and patience, and above all, restraint.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Would patiently wait for the right colour to come up and authenticate them then.

Good. The hard part is the "restraint", but believe me, your wallet will thank you for it. It took many of us years and years to come to that conclusion.

And you have hundreds of collectors and owners here who are always happy to give advice and post photos of colors. Choose carefully and put the money you save into your retirement fund. Trust me on that.

Not sure this is right place for this question, please redirect me if not - I was wondering if there were a couple releases of the Originals Courier Bag 78805, or if the stock pictures aren’t completely accurate? I was looking at the black one, stock pics show a maroon lining, whereas all the ones I’ve seen have a tan lining. Creed in the stock pics looks different than ones I’ve seen in other pics/videos, and I’ve seen a video where the “Genuine glovetanned leather” stamp is under the flap, whereas the rest are on the bottom of the bag. Curious, hoping someone here has one!

There have been two recent releases of the Courier. It looks like the current "Originals" release has the burgundy/oxblood lining like you mention. A couple years ago they also released a Courier as a collab with Rodarte, and a quick Google search shows that bag with the tan/flax colored lining.

Edit: Ok, so I saw a non-Rodarte Courier in black on ebay, and it has the flax lining too... so now I'm not sure if their website really is incorrect. Sorry I'm no help :sad:

Haha, I should have clarified regarding the Rodarte ones. I appreciate you taking the time to look for me, thank you! :)
