Hi Roro,Hi! I have two vintage Coach bags in purple. One is a sling bag and one is a side pack. Both have registration numbers, not plant / date codes. So, both of my purple bags are pre-1994. Purple is a color for the sling bag in 1993.
This is a great link to easily accessible catalogues: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wcK21b2R_plh3PyLXrTvWENYsOd6wMcu
If you can link to one of the bags you're talking about, and maybe post it in the authentication page, someone can help you out with more knowledge than I have.View attachment 5877728
Thank you so much for the information. I have a look at those catalogues and I think the purple I was thinking was actually called ink. I always thought of the colour ink as navy blue. But not in Vintage Coach land. Xxx
