Official Coach CHAT Thread!!!

And how is the material "leather"? Is that actually clear vinyl? The description even says "IN THE OLD COACH BOOK IT WAS DISPLAYED WITH WATER AND GOLD FISH SWIMMING IN IT".

I guess maybe it was supposed to be for beach and pool.
Were they asking women back then to carry clear bags to stadium events?? LOL all I can think of is a few years ago, when the Eagles were advancing to the Superbowl, my local supermarket (based in Philadelphia) was selling the vinyl bags approved for stadium security.

I believe Macy's used to make their employees use clear vinyl bags to prevent theft.

A sensible precaution considering the age we're living in and the almost-daily mass shootings happening recently.

Hi y'all! Is it just me or has anyone else noticed a bunch of fake "vintage" Ergos all over the place since Coach started selling the new ones? Either that, or the knowledge I believe I've gained about vintage Coach is not nearly as complete as I thought... here's one, for instance. I just requested authenticatication on it. Should be interesting to either get schooled myself... or out the seller, who obviously believes it's authentic. https://merc.li/3gWwCGrpb

Seller omags:
That's fake. (And the serial number is on the "fakes" list.)

That's what I thought. I kind of feel bad for the seller, but it would suck for someone to buy it at that price thinking it's genuine, thus my request for authenticity on Mercari. That one just went up a few hours ago and already has 4 likes. I've seen like 5 of these fakes go up in the last few days...

The seller denied my request for authenticatication. I guess they do know it's not real. Not cool. I could excuse ignorance, but intentionally selling junk... Wow

I have been looking at online listings for a few years and fake ergos are seen routinely. So it would not surprise me if more Ergos in general, including fakes, are being listed following the reissue.

I swore I had a catalog with the clear vinyl ergo with the goldfish swimming in it but I couldn’t find it. I know I’ve seen that pic somewhere!

 

[Syren]

I found the goldfish! No idea what year this catalog is from but it has a lot of the kisslock ergo bags in it (2008?)

I actually would really like to have this bag!

Nearly ten years ago, I had free subscriptions to People and Vogue using airline miles. For some reason, I saved an old issue of Vogue (902 pages!! still wrapped in the plastic shrinkwrap thingy). Thumbing through it yesterday, I found this ad for my all time favorite Coach bag. Can’t believe this bag was in Vogue .

Did you know that one of my duffles was used for the ad campaign when they first released the duffle? Unfortunately I don't care for the colorblock so I never carry it.
