Hmmm...I know there is a help me find this coach item thread in the forum...but maybe we can start a vintage thread(low chat) somewhere where we can post our isos and message from there. It would be a lot easier keeping everybody's isos in one thread instead of all over our chat threads. That way we could at least have easy access to what everybody is looking for?

I like that idea. I always pm people who I know are looking for a particular bag. Plus, finding a bag for someone else = less chance of me impulse buying bags just to save them lol

Ok since you guys are so much better at this than I am, I would like to find a coach item from 1965 at a reasonable to moderate price. I am getting it for someone born that year. Pretty open to any idea if anyone has any. Thanks as always.

My catalogs only go back to 1976 so can’t help. However, Coach didn’t have that many bags available for sale back in those days so your choices will be very limited. Cool idea though!

Unless a seller can supply the original receipt, there's no way to know what year an ultra- vintage bag was made, especially anything that old. Year codes in Coaches only go back to 1994, remember. A 1965 bag wouldn't even have had a creed or serial number of any kind. The only way to even come close would be to look for styles featured in print advertising by Coach that can be dated to 1965, like old New York City newspaper ads or fashion pages.

And even that doesn't prove a particular bag was made in 1965. Except for Cashin designs, I doubt if Coach even changed their styles much, if at all, in their first 10 or 15 years of making handbags. I think you're trying to go back too far, unless you settle for a STYLE that was made in 1965, not a bag that was actually made that year. Maybe search this thread for "advertising"? There must be some old ad pages posted here somewhere.

ETA - If you can find one that fits your price range, one of those Cashin kisslock mini bags big enough to hold a cell phone might be a close enough style to 1965.

1960's minis from the Archives, I'm not sure if larger phones would fit the narrower kisslock openings though:

ok I guess the year is too specific. I would like something from the 60s. I will look for something like this photo. My phone isn’t huge so that is ok. Thanks. I truly appreciate all the info I get from you guys.
