Do you think they were too big to become popular? I think they're the perfect bag - just big enough without being a small briefcase. The only gripe is that the strap could be wider or more sturdy.LOVE your red Rambler! Even though they never sold in the same volume as many other vintage Coach styles, to me they're just the quintessential vintage Coach.
I have a red vintage rambler too. LOOOVE it!I agree with you! I've never been one who is able to pull off black bags. I really like red and British Tan - my all-time favorite Coach colors. Taupe and putty aren't bad either. I just acquired a red Original Rambler, and I'm in love with it!! Now I have one in both BT and red!
I had to choose one bag to take to Australia recently for 2 weeks. I chose my black vintage rambler because of its size. It did well. Though actually I remember on some days sight seeing it got a little heavy.Size may have been a factor, but to me a large size and large outside pockets are a big Plus. When you're ancient and old-fashioned and still carry a checkbook and four sets of keys, you need all the room you can get. The Rambler is so much more practical than styles like the Duffle Sac - trying to find my keys buried in the bottom of one of those is like diving blindfolded into the Black Hole Of Calcutta. WE NEEDS OUTSIDE POCKETSESSS, PRECIOUSSSSS!
Personally I love the look of the Rambler's Legacy. I wish it was bigger though.
You are serving all the looks with that rambler!I agree with you! I've never been one who is able to pull off black bags. I really like red and British Tan - my all-time favorite Coach colors. Taupe and putty aren't bad either. I just acquired a red Original Rambler, and I'm in love with it!! Now I have one in both BT and red!
I'm glad you love it! It totally fits you!
I have this Spectator Duffle Sac in my possession.
I saw a duffle in this combo going back a little over two years ago, in a Mercari listing. I asked the seller for a pic of the Creed and she never got back to me and I forgot about it . . .
Your original ramblers are gorgeous.I agree with you! I've never been one who is able to pull off black bags. I really like red and British Tan - my all-time favorite Coach colors. Taupe and putty aren't bad either. I just acquired a red Original Rambler, and I'm in love with it!! Now I have one in both BT and red!
What a nice story. I have always loved colorful bags. BTW - my current car is silver.
Congrats! Two very nice finds.
Yeah , it was cheap. Sounds about right. I was interested in more for rehabbing. I don’t mean to sound cavalier, but I am probably one of three people here that can take or leave the Duffle. I was all hopped up to buy one in BT in an outlet in FL in the late 90s for about $75. But the weight of it empty stopped me in my tracks. I just passed up a black one at a thrift store recently. Still too heavy. But the Sling bag, that’s a differently story! The hardware must make a difference. So good for all you Duffle lovers, I am rooting for you.
Not just the weight. It sticks a mile out from your body when you carry it! I can imagine bumping into everything! Then there is the fact that it is a black hole! No way can you find your things in there without dumping it out.
