I have a color question. Seller called this "green." It looks pale-ish blue to me. It's style 11373. Opinions on the color name? Is it aqua, is it sea foam, is it blue???

It’s pretty but I only have seen the offerings whateve mentioned. Did you do a search of the entire forum with the style number? I have found some very old posts on some of the Legacy bags that did talk about various details including colors. Sometimes that Wayback internet search works.

Hey @whateve I thought I would make a comment here regarding the small drawstring bag natural grain Sonoma, #4905. It is mentioned in Holiday ‘94 preview catalog; is it a stretch to be producing them in late summer to roll them out by the time of this catalog? I wouldn’t necessarily think so. Just a thought.

Yes, could be. Are the nubuc bags mentioned at the same time? Can you point me to the catalog picture?

Thanks! I did find that post. In 2007, someone talked to a sales associate at coach to find out about colors for 11373. They specifically mention being told "light blue."

"I just saw a book with the Thompson Top Handle #11373 which I am in love with. The sales associate said it would come in many colors but when I called Coach they only would tell me it would be available in Ink, Parchment and Toffee. They could not give any more information due to counterfit issues (I couldn't believe that people would actually call and inquire such specific information so that they could counterfit the bags -- but they do!).

I was told some colors like Tool, Doe, Ivory, Citron and Some light blues and rose colors."

In July of 2008, someone reported: "11373 I have seen it in a bunch of different colors at the outlets."

Sure. Yes to the nubuc bag too. In fact, there is no pic of the natural grain only nubuc, just a mention it is available too but not shown. This is from my copy of Holiday ‘94 page 79. image.jpgThe same page is used for the Holiday Preview ‘94. I’ll find the post.

Hope this is helpful, it is from the Wayback machine captured from Coach catalog online 2008. My screen capture cut off the colors offered, but here you go, there are 10 of them, Brass/Black, Brass/Chestnut, Brass/Citron, Brass /Parchment, Brass/Tan, Brass/Toffee, Brass/White & Brass/Ink Blue. Brass/Grass and Brass/Rose showing as being available online 4/9. Perhaps there are more colors offered later on or exclusive colors or Japan market only colors. There is an old thread on the Purse Forum about Coach color codes that maybe useful in tracking down the color name. Have a great day.

Thank you so much! I tried to find the bag on the wayback machine but wasn't having much success. :p
