Is it difficult to open the lunchbox without your stuff falling out? Or do you just not unzip it all the way? I saw the remake of the lunchbox at the outlet last fall and wondered how that would work with daily use. It is a cute style and love it in the color you have.

No I didn't find stuff to fall out easily. In fact I don't use it much because it's a little small for my usual stuff, and if anything the zipper opening is a little hard to get stuff out of. It is cute though! I love it.

Just bought this beauty, one of my vintage Coach HGs and my second vintage Coach! You know I've been talking about it for a while x) The seller has been away all winter but has finally come back, so I snapped it up right away!

I decided for the navy rather than two-toned brown, because I really have enough brown bags and I'm in a financial position where I need to be using my bags, not collecting (although I would love to be able to one day!)

I can't wait to see it in person after months of waiting! Next on the wishlist is a Bonnie Cashin bag…that will probably take me a while because of the high prices her items go for! I'd love to get a vintage brief for work too.

Ooooooh luv it, what size is this? I would love a navy Madison in the Drake or the next larger size! Please let me know more details as you get it!
And I relate to being restricted regarding collecting (time, $, space).
Butttt, I just found out there is a Savers thrift shop an hours drive from me :yahoo:. So there may be a slight change in the $ factor lol.
If I could post the Madea clip singing *Hallelujah* I would. Lol

Hahaha!

It's a Copley :) I believe it is between the Biltmore and Drake sizes? I'll definitely be taking lots of pics and modshots when I get it!!

Unless you want a briefcase, not a purse, I don't think you would like the Drake. It is very narrow. It really doesn't work as a purse. The Copley is the largest that works as a purse. The Biltmore is my favorite. Here are pictures showing the depths of each.

Thank you for that detail! Sigh, if only I could see them irl.

You're welcome. Also, the Drake seems much stiffer than the Copley. The Copley has some give but the Drake doesn't. It has suede lining. Here are pictures of the insides.

So just a random post, was out thrifting yesterday and saw a fake taft and willis, ugh. The taft had a 9927 style number, hello! From a first glance, nothing seemed dramatically off. The, I saw the willis and thought, hey , maybe I will finally get one. Until I saw the style #GAD-4 something something, ugh! The only thing missing was a beat up, over priced Casino!

I used to really want a Taft but after I saw so many fakes, I stopped looking. I don't think they sell well anymore because buyers are afraid of getting a fake.

Here's another small purse found.? Looks well built. No Serial number at all, only Vietnam tag. Is this authentic??
