(post-Cashin and pre-China), which ones would you choose? I'm trying to figure out if I need to cull or expand my collection! Would love to see pics if you already own your top five!

So glad you started this thread! I'll have to see if I can narrow it down to five.
Mine are all larger bags with cross-body straps, and I already own all of them:
original Rambler Bag #9735
at least one Willis, #9927
Patricia's Legacy, #9951
at least one Sheridan or Dakota
at least one Sonoma Flap, either the Natural #4903 or the Nubuc, #4935

I was hoping you two would respond! Can't wait to see what you choose whateve! Hyacinth, I am off to check out the Sheridan or Dakota, I'm not familiar with those two. Thanks!
They both are full lines so there's a lot to choose from. You have to like stiffer pebbled leather and the Spectator look to appreciate them though. The Dakota line had about nine different styles, and the Sheridan close to thirty.
I think you may have gotten the 2111 style number from a pre-1994 bag with the old-style numbers. The 1991 50th Anniversary catalog shows that style as #9004, Retro Stroll Tote, 10x10x3. Yours is Peacock Blue with Coral. I'm pretty sure it's a Cashin remake.

Great! Thanks! I knew it was a remake. The original didn't have pockets on both sides and mine has a Made in the United States creed.
OMG! I LOVE this bag! A darker green with brown trim has always been a favorite color combo of mine and it looks great on that style bag.
I can't think of 5 right off the top of my head without looking at my collection but I own around 40-50 vintage coach. 3 that stick out in my right away are City bag #9790, Whitney #4115 and my NYC made madison satchel that has the crossbody strap (the newer ones are just satchels no long strap). These are 3 that i've definitely used the most.
I'll dig in my closet later and pick 2 more for sure and also take pics of what I have that are my favorites. From what i've discovered, the NYC satchel is really rare and I found it at a goodwill where it had been marked down to 10.00 from some ridiculous price. It has the original one sided hang tag too.
Everybody seems to say Willis and while i LOVE the look of her ( i have 3) I find that i don't use it all that often b/c i find it kinda heavy and awkward to have to get in and out of a lot.
I'm also loving this new one i just acquired called a Swagger bag that hyacinth recently authenticated for me. But i haven't actually used it yet so I don't know if it will become one my favorites.
