Vintage Coach Photos & Chat

I would choose the $3 Winnie without any hesitation. Musette is way too big for me.
The city I live vintage Coach bags are scarce, probably can only see it once every 200 trips to thrift stores. Lol…
My best find was a red Saddlery for $25, my first ever vintage Coach bag, it was faded from sun exposure, I googled how to restore the color, it led me to the purseforum. So a very special bag to me .

So that bag is the one to blame for creating a rehab wizard!!

Difficult to choose just one. Berkeley zip for 9,99$. Derby for 6,50$. Serious euphoria when I see the vintage at good prices. BT prairie for 3,99$. The Canturbury was one of my first ones. I wore it for awhile but I find strap too thin for an entire day. Still love it! Imagine that at 5$. Prices have increased alot since last 2 years.

I'd pick your saddlery. Winnie is too small, Musette is too big. Saddlery is just right! And it is red!

I guess my best vintage find is my Bonnie Cashin pre creed double pocket bag that is so rare it has no name. I got it for $60 shipped on ebay. I was afraid to make an offer in case someone snapped it up before me. There was one on Goodwill auction that sold for over $650. I have other bags that were cheaper and I've owned other great vintage bargains but I haven't kept them all.

As much as I love my Winnie, I would def be tempted by your Saddle in red for $25. I have a Curtis in red I found for $25, but I love the rounded shape of the Prairie and it would be a nice size everyday bag.

Tough! Toss up between BT Winnie and Red Derby!

Okay, I was just inspired by someone’s thrifted steal/deal to play a little game. Let’s call it, Which would you rather have??
What was your crazy best Vintage Coach find? It’s up to you to choose either by color, style, condition or $ amount, etc
Mine was a BT Winnie at a flea market for $3. So for example, to get started, I remember way back someone found a Musette in great condition, like tabac or BT on a BIN for $50!
So which would you rather have?
I will go make some dinner. Talk amongst yourselves …
Add to the picks!

So now that we have a bunch of finds posted, anyone finding this, feel free to choose between your find and any of these listed!

I would pick the Winnie, Musette seems massive to me!

Probably my best find was a tan, pre-creed Bonnie Cashin Small Shopper for $2.06 at the thrift store. I love that little bag because it is just so special. It's an early Cashin coach with the striped lining but it is small, so I might prefer @whateve's double pocket bag, that's gorgeous!

Thank you, but I am embarrassed, I am not good at rehab at all, so lack of patience.

I'd pick your saddlery. Winnie is too small, Musette is too big. Saddlery is just right! And it is red!

Thank you, I love my red Saddlery too. She opened the door for me to the wonderful vintage Coach world (or pushed me down the rabbit hole)

I remember that post, that bag at Goodwill was not nearly as good condition as yours, and that was a year or two ago, imaging the price now for this bag.

As much as I love my Winnie, I would def be tempted by your Saddle in red for $25. I have a Curtis in red I found for $25, but I love the rounded shape of the Prairie and it would be a nice size everyday bag.

All I know about Winnie is from online photos. Super cute bag.

Ok...I dont have many thrift finds at all really and most of my finds online have been expensive.

But my almost first Coach find was my Coach Parker Shoulder bag I found for NZ$9....that was the one that got me into Coach.

But I would pick @whateve and her no-style name bag over that one any day.
