I can understand you doing it. I found a Precreed convertible clutch thats the same age as me.Yes. I guess Im not very stealth at hiding my age.
Its kind of cool to have,...especially if the bag is in great condition.
That's a slippery slope! I resisted getting prime for years. Once I did, I wanted to get my money's worth. During lockdown, I ordered a ton of things! Since we weren't leaving the house to go shopping, I used Amazon to get a lot of basic supplies. I'm embarrassed by how many orders I had in 2020.
Going to get as many straps as I can with free shipping the next month.yeah, except it seems my age and the age of the bags I found don’t match. What I’d really like to find is a small leather accessory like a coin purse/wallet etc. we’ll see. I’ll keep,looking.
This is the only thing I could find that claims it's from 1965.

It's a page from a 1965 catalog so it doesn't have any date on the page itself. I have been looking for these items but they are super hard to find as Coach didn't even stamp their brand name on these products back in the day! So they won't be listed as Coach by anyone. It would be awesome if you could find one! I have been looking and have not been successful.
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a good day so far! I have what is probably a silly question but even though I have researched and tried to figure this out I thought I’d just ask all of you. When a vintage bag is made in the U.S. - I have seen D as the country code but I’m also finding C as the country code .....did the code change at some point, are the C bags authentic?
In short- does anyone know what the country codes are?

D isn't the only plant US had. You'll find A, B, C and D with Made in United States. Always get it authenticated though when in doubt.
If you are determined, here is a 1965 Coach ad, all those bags going to be expensive unless you are really lucky. From what I can tell, they are “shoppers or shopping bag?”, “ feed bag”, “barrel bag”... name may not correct, but they are all Bonnie Cashin....

If I remember correctly, I had a bag authenticated by the authenticators here and it was a Made in the United States bag with a L plant code. I'll try to find the post and post it here.
Thank you! I thought I was getting to the point where I knew what to look for- then I get confused.
Hey even I have to go back to the salearea guides to refresh my memory.
SaleArea guides
Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

I was just giving examples. I wasn't listing all the US plants ... There's G and H also IIRC.

thank you so much. The kindness of everyone here taking the time to share their information is amazing. I think I was being too ambitious to try for the exact year but I would love to find something from the 60s.
thanks for the information. I think I’m being too ambitious but I will still keep my eyes open and increase my budget. Thanks for the information that you have provided me. You guys are the best.
