Vintage Coach Photos & Chat

[ChickosMom]

Yes I adopted George from SCARS in August, after my daughter moved out with her 2 cats and a dog, Tinker was lonely. Took a few day for Tinker to accept the cat, but they are bonded now.

Went to thrift shop last Saturday, thought I found a Vintage Coach bag at first glance, alas it’s just a Coach dupe brand called “First Edition”. Still I bought it.
This bag leather is quite nice thick full grain, hardware is low quality, craftsmanship is not as good as Coach but acceptable. I took off the strap came with the bag as it was very skinny. Just for fun I added a Coach replacement strap and took these photos.

Full grain leather bags are hard to find and pricey these days no matter what brand. You did well! It’s a very cute bag!

Your two adorable cats looked so much like these two of mine that I had to take this pic. They’re getting ready to settle for the night.

Thank you. Originally I was going to use it for parts such as the pipping leather, but I couldn’t bring myself to cut the bag, end up dunked it. Lol..

I just bought an Ivory Spence Bag 4400 from 1995 that has been authenticated by @BeenBurned but I've just noticed that the description of the cloth lining (typical of the linings in Madison bags made in Italy in the 1990s) is described as "Faille Jacquard" in the catalog pages below that were previously posted by @Hyacinth. I've never noticed that term before and I am trying to figure out its meaning - does anyone know? My best guess is "False Jacquard" Thanks!

katev, the term faille refers to the way the fabric is made and looks. A faille is a horizontally ribbed fabric. If you pull a fingernail up or down the fabric you can feel the ribs created by the way the fabric is woven. The word is prounced “fail”. You don’t see faille used very much any more. I have usually found a faille to be a strong fabric because it is tightly woven.

@Libertyg Thank you for solving that mystery!

Does anyone know what color this bag is? Thanks!

 

[Libertyg]

British Tan would be my guess.

vicuna. It was a color name used in the early 2000s. Can you show the creed?

Bingo! Thank you! According to the creed it was made in 2001.

You're welcome! I was guessing 2001.

I've been wanting an "ergo" and now I got this. Needs some rehab. My question: Does anyone have an idea about the official color name?
