I don't think that was deliberate, unless Coach did a repair and the customer wanted a 2-tone. I don't ever remember seeing any other 2-tones in any Sonoma style. Or maybe it could be a factory mistake, maybe the Quality Control people were out to lunch, or the worker that made it was color blind (BTW, I'm NOT trying to insult color blind people!). The bag has an Outlet mark and the colors might be the reason. I really don't think it was supposed to be that way but it definitely makes it unique. If it was some kind of pilot bag for a possible 2-tone line I've never heard about it so if anyone's seen another one besides the ones with different color binding or piping I'd love to hear about it. Or maybe it was just re-dyed on that panel.

I doubt if they were really going for colorblock, they would have just done that one panel in gray. It looks like a mistake or a repair.

So back to this beauty ..... We have kicked around here the idea that some of the more interesting color bags seem to have the dye applied almost like a layer additionally, as opposed to seeping through the entire full grain leather. That is the case for my bone/white NYC Dinky. My NYC bags that are likely putty seem dyed through the entire layer of leather. My late '90s Ergo in a light color, I think Butterscotch per the catalog and '90-ish Light Tote in what I believe is Chamois, or something very close, also appear to be a full dye.

Is the color of this unique girl more of a layered application or evenly dyed through the entire thickness of the leather?? Inquiring minds want to know!

Ummm...the only places I dont see any dye or where it's been shaved for sewing and it's grey. Colour appears to be even all over

I'm so glad to see that bag went to a loving home! I was watching it and just couldn't pull the trigger on another bag I'd look at more often than use. Enjoy her, LZ, she's lovely and rare.

Thanks so much, Roro! :hugs: You know how much I love those unusually coloured bags! :hbeat: She's actually the perfect size for me and will get lots of careful use during springs and summers!

So Im currently trying to cross a belt bag off my wish-list. For a style that has dozens of listings on every platform, why is it so expensive?! I can’t find a single one that’s under $100 cad with duties & shipping! It’s ridiculous. One particular EBay seller has 6 listed, 6! *sigh* sorry for the rant, patience is something I lack when it comes to buying handbags…:facepalm:

I got a compliment in public on vintage bag for the first time today... and it was was from a guy! I was using the basic bag I recently dyed and browsing at Ulta, and a guy that worked there said "Is that an old Coach bag? It's so simple and perfect." Or something along those lines. It was kinda awesome that it was a guy that noticed it haha!

No one has commented/complimented mine but when I was in California last week I saw a lady with a vintage crossbody. It wasn't the Metropolis but it was similar.

I could see mine weren't dyed through by the cross section where the turn lock is removed. (Not possible on courier obviously)

Okay, beauties. Are you ready for heart-wrenching news?

Our shipment arrived from America today. I’m missing two of four x-large heavy duty Home Depot boxes of vintage Coach bags. I can’t bring myself to open the two lonely boxes I have and see what’s missing. I’m teary.

No doubt they were taken. No hope I will see them again. Sigh. That’s all I have. Solidarity, please :crybaby:

I can't even imagine. I've only had one major move in my life and we did it ourselves. I didn't sleep the entire cross country trip. It's nerve wracking having your treasures so vulnerable. Maybe they're still out there and just got temporarily separated. I've had things I'd given up hope on find me again. Sending happy thoughts.

It would be awesome if they did find me again! I’m just not putting much stock in it. How come the children’s books and toys arrived without a hitch?! :annoyed::lol:
