Spotted this one online and it's just gorgeous. Is this a real style Coach released?

And just to add a note, it is a small bag! I handled one in a consignment shop.
While I have appreciated vintage Coach for quite a while (back when they were not vintage lol), it has only been in the last couple years that I have come to understand there is a multitude of vintage styles out there! I am still wrapping my mind around it!

Did Urban Outfitters really do this to Coach bags?

No, I am pretty sure urban outfitters did not do this. I will be nice, and say, some overzealous *Be-dazzler*did it. A few bags that have been subjected to this kind of **modification** have been posted here over the last few months. And, quite unbelievably to me, a Janice that had been modified this way actually sold.
I have seen a more recent bucket style that has about three rows of rivets (edited to add, designed and released by Coach) like these on the bottom that I think is a nice understated touch. Note to Be-dazzlers, less is more ! Dial it back a little, please!
Lol I am pretty sure the sound you hear is Bonnie Cashin, the Cahns, United airlines, and any early designer that worked for Coach, rolling in their graves. Although Bonnie did like hardware and innovation. Maybe I shouldn’t speak for her!

I really like these bags. Is this the original vintage Rambler? Like the one in the link below.

Mmm, some one is feeling it for a Rambler! I don’t blame you. I love a big roomy bag. Recently I was on eBay when a black Rambler was newly listed for a $40 bin! I spend several hard minutes thinking about purchasing it, knowing someone might be clicking the bin button as I sat there. I did pass on it, with no regrets. It was gone two hours later. No surprise there.

Non buyers remorse, rotflmao.
But actually quite an accurate term. Although a post from Involuntary Ban about what my purse goals for this new year has me thinking. I always comfort myself when I feel like I have missed out on something that I have a couple of bags that were amazing steals/deals. And in the, lol, Bag Universe I live in, there will be an another opportunity for something amazing.
I am off to my sister’s for the weekend. Wishing everyone a warm and safe day!!

Yes, I love the look and size of this bag. I wish I had found one for $40. I would be all over it.

Yep, that was an actual thing at urban outfitters a few years back. Studding vintage coach bags started as DIY street style (in NY I believe, there was a vintage clothing shop that sold them, and first place I saw them being worn) way before vintage coach popped back up on the radar for most people. Then main stream stores (urban) and eventually Coach itself picked up on the trend and offered new studded bags. Coach adopted street style, they didn't come up with studding themselves. I don't hate the look, but it doesn't work for all styles, and with the older thick leather bags makes them very very heavy. It works best for the basic bag and buckets, and may have started out as a coverup for damage. I do not like the turnlock bags with the studs, way too much metal there.
