The bag in this listing seems vaguely familiar. We've either seen it before or another like it.

I can't even imagine how heavy it is to carry!

i actually purchased this bag as a rehab project, the seller relisted it at $25, it does has some weight to it, but it's not too heavy
 
Hiya all! It's been a while since I've been on any forum here, sadly. My life has been crazy busy. I have a sort of random question about vintage Tribecas, circa 1998ish. I love them so much for some reason. The leather is so nice on them, and I really like the structure of the flap bag in particular. They don't seem to be hugely popular, but I think they're some of my favorites of all time. I had a sage green flap bag that I really regret selling, haha, and I have dark purple, red, and black in various styles, all authentic. I'm wondering what colors they came in and what the official name for those colors were. I know a few, but not all. I saw a beigy/cream one recently and I've not seen one in that color yet, so I've no idea what it's called. Thanks y'all!

Incredible! Thank you! I really appreciate your knowledge and time, genuinely. So I have an ink shopper then. It's such a gorgeous color. I hope to find it in the flap bag someday. I shouldn't have let go of that loden; I've been thinking about it ever since. Lol.
Had I known that I would essentially crave certain bags when I started rehabbing Coaches... Well, I would have done it anyway. ;) I was never a purse person in the past, but here I am. :D
 
I bought the Emery crossbody in elm during the sale and couldn’t get my mind off the same style in teak (which wasn’t included in the sale).

I logged onto the Coach Canada website and the solid colour Emery bags have disappeared altogether!
Black, navy and teak were all full price so I don’t know why they did that.

Is this something the brand does often? I hope they’re brought back in the winter sale!

I believe the sale ended. They may end up at the outlets.

You’re right, the sale has ended. I’m surprised they didn’t keep the few colours that weren’t included in the sale in retail stock, since it’s a fairly new and classic style.

I really wish they wouldn’t retire bags so soon after initial release.
Me too. I paid full price for my Emery, not realizing it wasn't going to sell out. I don't know why I don't learn.

I was looking for the navy courier carryall and noticed they were wiped from the site too.

The sale is extended to the 7th. Perhaps just in stores only.

So I was wrong - the solid Emery in black, navy and teak is on the website. For some reason it doesn’t show up when you type the style name into the search bar but it’s there when you look up Coach Originals.
