Just listed: a NYC green satchel (not my listing):

ETA: Ships from outside the U.S. unfortunately. (I avoid due to potential unknown customs charges.)

Too bad!

there would not be any customs charges for something that cheap. You can import up to $200 worth of merchandise in one package without paying duty. I avoid buying from outside the US or Canada unless I trust the seller, because if there is a problem and I need to return, it costs too much.

Good to know.

I'm going to hold out for a Taft. I've been going too crazy lately with the BIN button. That's how I end up with a duffle sac that belongs in the desert and a portfolio I have no idea why I had to have. I need to slow my roll.....

That's what I hear. Duffle Sac's, too?

I'm interested in the Taft because it seems pretty big. A stewardess is also in my near future I hope.
I carry everything divided into little leather Coach pouches and make up bags so, I like the room.
ETA: USA Tafts seem harder to find.

Duffle sacs are faked but Tafts are faked more. Stewardesses are faked too but not as much as Tafts. Stewardesses have lots of pockets to keep you organized. The duffle sac only has one tiny slip pocket and everything you have ends up in a black hole at the bottom of the bag.

Nearly every Taft I've seen was made in the US. Why does it matter to you that they are made in the US? Costa Rican bags are heavenly.

Help! I've quickly become addicted! I bought my first vintage Coach 10 days ago and I've since purchased 4 more for a total of about $152. I have one more on my radar (#9955, I don't know the name) then I MUST stop... oh maybe a green one first, then I'll stop lol! Btw, the photos are not of my actual bags. I'm still waiting for 3 of them to arrive. How will I explain all the packages to my husband... ;)

Welcome to the club! Once I started, I couldn't stop either. $152 for that many bags is a great deal. Tell your husband it is an investment!

I actually don't know why it matters. I guess I always think of the bags I fell in love with in the 80's at the counters in the mall. I always think of them as being made in the US. The originals, I guess.
I grew up in a military town. I remember the servicewomen carrying black Coach purses then. The seemed so special to me.

Beautiful choices! I know how you feel, it's hard to stop. But as whateve said, they are an investment, and if you get into rehabbing, also a hobby that can pay for itself.;)

BTW the 9955 is called a Trail Bag. Here's a picture from the Coach "answers to authenticity questions" thread (thanks Hyacinth!):
