I bought this Becket Zip on eBay thinking it was British Tan. It came today and holy moly! it is totally ORANGE. :eek:

I believe it must be Mango.

It never ceases to amaze me. I was watching an auction last week for this bag. In this color. And when I saw your post, I thought, cool, you won it. But it is a different bag, with a 1994 Creed. Imagine that, two Mango Becket Zips in the same week on eBay!!! They look to be in identical condition.

Yes! I just found that other one in the Sold listings a few days ago and couldn't believe I had completely missed it. I would have bid on it if I'd seen it.

Not till recently I started to admire and buy Vintage Coach. There are so many beautiful bags out there, but when budget only allows a couple, I have been trying to find those styles that "to me" are unusual, so I went to Pinterest and did research on a few that caught my eye.
Thanks to whateve that educated me in this style, now I got a 9851 Saddle Bag. Perfect for the upcoming seasons :smile:View attachment 4331569 View attachment 4331570 View attachment 4331571

As a matter of fact, here's one (not my listing):

I wonder if this is what was called "Jade" in the 1993 catalog.

Thanks for the info. I've seen Becket bags with two different creeds. One like your creed in the Orange Becket 0766-342 and another creed in my green Becket J4C-9920.

It was made for about a year, starting about mid-1993, so some with have pre-1994 creeds with all numeric serial numbers, and some will have style numbers in the creeds with a 1994 year code.

So @houseof999 , and anyone else that owns one, the big-mouth kisslock Bag on your second shelf in your avi, how is it to use? I have been seeing a lot of listings lately for them and that big kisslock opening fascinates me. At first I dismissed it as something I could not use on an everyday basis. But over the last year, I have gotten my essentials down to a smaller wallet and two slim VB pouches. So now I am curious. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I haven't used it yet Lol! [emoji4] but it's easy to get into. I only carry a small wallet and a little cosmetic bag, carkeys and my phone. I don't see me having any problem using it. Love the wide strap but the bag isn't that roomy to carry anything big and heavy.

I have 3 of them and I rarely use them. They hang on my wall and I love them.
