Thanks, you can tell just by the page numbers in the original scanned copy that some pages are missing, but I was never sure what they were. It's nice seeing all 4 of the brass "style" keyfobs in one place.
Funny, I just checked my paper copy of the 1995 Holiday catalog because I KNEW there was a quarter-page showing those brass keychains somewhere. But It's ONLY in the paper catalog! The original copier who made the scans over 10 years ago (based on the dates in my photo files, the ORIGINAL scans were created by the scanner in January 2008, and I received my CD and made my copies in November 2010) left out two pages showing the keyfobs and some other SLGs too. So I'm glad they're in the copy you posted.
ETA - There are 4 pages of mens and womens outerwear missing too. Bummer.
Plus 6 pages of SLGs plus a few bags missing between the Sonomas and the Madisons. Plus 4 more pages of Mens' SLGs, even 2 pages of handbags - Scooter, Curtis, Ritchie and Helen's Legacy - anyway, you get the idea.
So whoever made the first scans all those years ago took too damn many shortcuts.
And "whoever" was or IS selling copies of THOSE copies on different types of media and claiming that they're COMPLETE scans is full of BS.
I was wondering how far back the scans of vintage catalogs were being sold. I got mine fairly recently by comparison!
So If I understand you, when you mention the missing pages and the original scanner taking short-cuts, you are referring to 1995 catalogs?
There's my small flap nubuck! The 90s are when I really started getting into Coach. Thank you for the lovely memories!
That's one of the few times I have a paper catalog to compare to the scanned copies. The last few scanned catalogs from around 1999 and 2000, are kind of a mess. Some of that is Coach's fault because they made the catalog pages bigger and the print smaller, so the scans can be hard to read. And the guy who scanned them put some pages in sideways. He also posted a few extra pages, I may add those just for a giggle once the scans are finished.
I've had to edit a few pages in almost every year's scans because of duplicate and upside-down pages.
