Vintage Coach Photos & Chat

Thanks for sharing photos of what you have. Love your cute little Pac-Man pouch! I’ve never seen one like that.

I don’t carry many keys, really just my car key, house key, mail key… even with just three, I do worry about their affect on the inside of my lined and unlined bags, to the point I usually ask my husband to carry my keys in his pocket :lol:

I ended up sending an offer to a seller for a Coach key squeeze case and it was accepted… it is in need of a little conditioning, but I am excited to see one in person and see how it works out for me. Now my hunt for a vintage Coach pen case (I’m sure they exist!) continues on…

Non-Coach: I have a neat wallet I got as an extra item from a Kickstarter project I supported many years ago. I hate the bag (what I originally was buying) and never used it — it collects dust in the closet — but actually really liked the wallet. The company is still in business and the design of the wallet has likely been improved since then, but the wallet I received still works fine. The cards slide in, and there is a mechanism at the bottom that when I slide it over, the cards come up and out enough that I can grab the one I want. I’ve never seen another wallet like it (but I also haven’t looked much) so I don’t even know what I would call its style. I only wish the one I have was real leather and not faux leather, as I appreciate the longevity of real leather (even though this wallet is holding up pretty well:smile:). They do offer real leather on their site now but again, I got this many years ago when they were raising money for their company, so choices were limited:smile:

That a really cool wallet card holder. I’ve never seen anything like it. Looks awesome. And thank you, that ghost took me back to childhood and I didn’t want to mess up my bags and pockets with all of my keys poking. We are on the same page there. I want a LV key cles but I think it’s too small for my keys and fobs

I loved the pacman collection when it first came out. I think I still have a deflated Pac-Man Coach Ghost metallic balloon from when they release it at the outlet. If you like the Cles, Coach has now made something similar, but it is a little fatter that may work for you.

I used to have the Pacman round coin case. I still have the men's card case. There are two many cute card cases.

I bought a brown tote (9314--Bleecker Book Tote?) and the pocket opposite the creed pocket has a thick silver metal sticker with the numbers 01199912. Has anyone seen this before? I guess someone put this sticker on it but it's just odd.
 
I know strictly speaking there’s an ID this Coach thread but I thought these two bags might be better placed here. I acquired them at a church sale last weekend and need names. The first is black, approximately 9 x 7 x 3.5. It’s pre1994 with a registration number not a style number. I think it’s a Metropolis bag but haven’t been able to find it in a catalogue. Sure had fun looking through the catalogues though!

One full length outside pocket and one zippered pocket inside.

This one made me gasp when I saw it at the church sale. I’m doing this from my local polling place and don’t have measurements but I can get them later if needed. Pre-creed cartouche imprint and a KISSLOCK!! If only it were any other color than white. Any name ideas? Couldn’t find it in the earliest catalogues which makes me think it pre-dates those.

Perhaps it’s a “Camera Bag, Small” style 4011 (not shown in this catalog but dimensions seem to fit roughly, as well as shape and features?) — this image was found in the 1990 catalog, and with the XXXX-XXX registration number, I’m supposing your bag is from sometime between 1989-1994 based on SaleArea guide. I’m curious to hear other opinions though! Maybe I’m totally wrong

This was a bag that seemed right to me too. The old bags can be so confusing.

I’m very curious to hear what this one is. My first instinct is skinny tote but I know that’s not it, the kisslock coin pocket is placed so low. Also it has the tubular double strap versus a thicker strap is interesting too

If there's no snap for the keyfob on the inside pocket it's not a Metropolis Zip.

The Camera Bag has a smooth top, this one is slightly recessed.

It looks like a 9931 Lewiston Bag from 1993. Page 20 of the 1993 Fall catalog, also shown as "NEW" on p47 of the 1993 Fall Preview catalog. Both catalogs are in the Reference Library, page 6

@Hyacinth, you are amazing. This is exactly it. I had seen it and glanced right over it, although I may just have been overwhelmed by the other lovely bags in all of the catalogues I went through. Thank you very much. I pride myself on knowing what I don't know and I know I had no idea. Much appreciated.

See Hyacinth's post above. This is exactly the bag. Lewiston #9931. I missed it but the pro did not.

@whateve I wonder if you have any ideas on this one? Style name? Approximate year? Thank you in advance.

My first post that is quoted was regarding the white one with kisslock… but yes I saw Hyacinth’s reply early about the Lewiston bag :smile: awesome to put a name to the bag. They’re such similar bags on first glance, but the depth of knowledge here about those small details and being able to give a proper identification is awesome! I appreciate our authenticators :)
