Vintage Coach Photos & Chat

I used the $20 e-bay coupon to buy this red Murphy. I want to give it a bath and conditioning but this will be my first try. I have been reading the rehab thread but am worried about the red color. Should I be alright with this Costa Rica bag? It seems in pretty good shape but just a tad grungy inside.

You should be fine with washing it. Don't worry if the water turns red.

Question for those who own vintage catalogs - When was Coach making bags in Flannel Grey and did slim satchels come in that color?

I have a bag that looks not quite black, especially next to a true black bag. I am wondering if it’s a color variation or it is indeed a dark grey/ asphalt color. The inside does not look darker, so it’s not fading. I tried to capture the color difference, but I suck at that. TIA.

That doesn't look flannel grey. It is definitely obvious against a black. Have you washed it? Anything with a NYC creed might come in flannel grey.

Could it be navy? There’s not much difference between black and navy. I have several flannel grey, and they look a lot different from black.

Catbird9 - do you know if there's another forum I should post to for that inquiry? I looked at the first post on this one but didn't find any rules. Thank you!
