The new Coach pre fall 2021 collection dropped today, and more rehabbed vintage bags were included. I must say, this time around they were STUNNING! The last collection with that weird childlike embroidery did nothing for me but THIS STUFF IS GORGEOUS. Photo is a zoomed in detail to show the Napa leather embroidery on a vintage convertible clutch. Only flaw I see is on the inside- looks like Debi skivved out an ink stain near the center seam. Price is 595 I think. High but close to worth it, not like the last bunch.

Hi all! Going full geek here. Hang tags, what is the evolution of them? I thought I had found an article about but can’t seem to find it. Single thickness,double thickness, when did they go from leather to metal? I’m looking at the hang tag that came on my authenticated (thanks,@whateve) NYC basic bag with glued in serial #. It looks weird compared to my newer tags. Anyone in the know?

I was on Instagram late last night and this came up as an ad and I clicked the link as fast as I could, because it’s such a pretty spring bag. Their charging $595 for the Convertible Clutch, Pocket Purse, and the Dinky, which I think is weird because of the obvious size differences between them all.

Finally, something that doesn’t look low effort! I wonder if coach got tired of us roasting their vintage bags…haha jk! :roflmfao:

Your hangtag should look like one of these. Single sided, with the word leatherware, and squared off rather than rounded end.

Nope! Double thickness. No leatherware. Very squared off. It almost looks like a picture of a hangtag if that makes any sense. It's got a second border just at the edges of the tag. Definitely added after. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

I know now why Debbie was asking me if I had any Bone Pocket Purses a while back. These did come out very lovely I must say!
 
I’ve been collecting for a few years now. I usually find my bags at consignment stores, priced between $20-$50. And I only buy bags in near perfect condition. But on a recent trip to Goodwill, I found a very smooshed and dull daypack for $9.99. I decided this would be the bag to try cleaning, bathing, and conditioning. It turned out absolutely beautiful. To my surprise, my 16 year old daughter thought it was so cute. She wore it to school today!

It feels stiff and cardboard-y, even after a wash and a bit of CPR.

Gorgeous! I just bought one of these for my niece in black. I’m not a backpack person but this one is very cool.
