So I have been collecting the older style classic leather bags ever since first seeing Katev's rehab projects and how much of a deal she finds them for. I have to say it is completely addicting and it is amazing how many there are out there. I was pretty dedicated for a while in finding them...now I feel like I have a good all around collection but I still look ever once in a while. I just recently made some cards and laminated them with the info that I got from the awesome girls in the Authenticate thread.
So here is a collection pic for you! :)

Thanks for looking! :)

Wow, you have a fabulous vintage collection and your bags look great! You have a nice mix of styles and color and sizes! Your mystery bag looks like this Compact Pouch that I recently rehabed - but maybe not - your bag may be larger, hmmm! Anyway, beautiful work!

Thanks Katev! :) You got me started on all this madness. I am still in search for some other colors and different styles.
Well the mystery bag does look similar to yours but mine has a zipper pocket on the inside and the strap is different...mine has an adjustable strap also. I did get it authenticated and they said it was made in 2000 but they couldn't find anymore info on it.

I always warn coachies that rehabbing is addictive!

I think you need a green bag, and do you have any navy bags yet? :graucho:

It definitely is...it is a lot of fun!
No, I have neither :(
I did stumble upon a green one and loved it and it was made so well but it ended up being a fake and made in Korea....I could have sworn it was real though.
I am still on the hunt though - I love finding them - it is so exciting!

VERY BEAUTIFUL!! they are ALL Bags after my own heart !!!

I assume you had the Coach I.D. thread geniuses look at the last one for you? It kind of looks like a companion flap or maybe the compact pourch as Katev said, but hard to say without measurements. But they should be able to confirm what she is for you! strange....Hyacinth almost ALWAYS figures it out. I wonder if the Wayback Machine would help.

Here's a link I found with the companion flap for 2000 shown in white:
