What’s everyone’s opinion of the classic signature jacquard? Does anyone think it’s outdated? I have a few bags and have been looking at another one on poshmark. Just wondering everyone’s opinion
I don't have any anymore. I used to love it until I saw it everywhere. I liked it better when they did something a little different with signature. It was less in your face in the tone on tone.

I also prefer plain leather or fabric. I always thought the signature bags meant people were trying to display that they were carrying a Coach because it really isn't an attractive pattern that most people would choose otherwise. It's just free advertising for Coach. However, I do agree with both Hyacinth and Catbird9 in that the signature pattern looks cute on smaller items and the optic or scribble patterns are fun, attractive patterns. I have a signature wallet and an optic patterned Audrey in gorgeous metallic blues and greens and it's a beautiful bag. My favorites will always be my sturdy workhorse vintage leather though.
 
I found this bag for a really good price but I’m on the fence about it. For some reason I like the print but I need second opinions. What does everyone think?

I usually love colors but there's something about this print that I don't like. I don't exactly know what it is. If you don't love it don't get it. It will be a closet sitter.

I agree, it's just "too much". Too many colors, too many different C patterns. They took every variety of the C pattern that they were using at the time and just threw them at the bag, then splattered it with at least 7 different paint colors.

Use different colors, preferably fewer, or different C patterns, but not both. That design just gives me a headache. It actually looks fake even when it's not, and the colors just don't go together. Some of Coach's multicolor patterns are fun. This one isn't.

JMO, sorry if that offends anyone who likes it.
 
There were some signature op art scarf prints from this era that were pretty colorful, but less "loud" than this print. If you like the colors but not the design, perhaps look for those instead.
 
Does anyone know any store or brand that sells a bag that looks similar to this one pictured? I know the closest ones would be the Coach Court or LV Croisette (I own the latter). But they don't have the thin gold bar on the flap. The picture was taken from uh... A video game. :sweatdrop: Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ya'll.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I looked at the Handbags and Purses thread but it only had the "identify this bag" topic, which is not what I wanted because this bag isn't a brand. SOOO yeah. :sweatdrop:

It looks very similar to the vintage Coach Gramercy Small Top Handle #7006 or Gramercy Top Handle #7002.
Both of these have a detachable crossbody strap although they're not shown in the pictures.

In addition to the Gramercy, Coach made a series of Italian Madison Bags that range in size from really tiny (Gracie) to fairly large (Copley and Drake) but the Biltmore 4417 is a medium size. They came in a wide range of colors, see the link below for an example of a vintage Beechnut Biltmore.
