Does anyone know if Coach ever made a Courier in green? I picked this one up today. The lighting in the store was so bad at first I thought it was black and I nearly put it back because I already have one in black. But the color seems quite dark green or maybe was navy but faded to green. It almost looks like the edging might be navy... Any opinions welcome please. She needs work. Oh boy.

I know how hard it is to tell with pictures. I recently bought a Navy Plaza bag from eBay that turned out to be green! I was thrilled. That needs some rehabbing today too.

:loveeyes: What a beauty! and pretty rare if I'm not mistaken. It's a smaller version of the 9170. I've never seen a catalog pic of it. There is a Small Shoulder Bag #9530 which is about the same size but has a turnlock:

I have one of these small shoulder bags I think, the one with the turnlock. It's cute but a little small to be of much use! But I have few bags in burgandy so she's a keeper for the moment.

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone knows if the 9170 came in different sizes? I have this one I rehabbed that is 10 inches across. View attachment 4339445

But this one is only 8 inches across. View attachment 4339447

Thanks so much for any assistance you can give me. The second one is a bit older, it has the metal coach tag. Not sure if that makes a difference or is it a different bag? Thanks again.

ETA looking at these pictures looks very navy to me but irl it looks more green.

Yes, that one is pretty small, but Burgundy...I know what you mean!

The Legacy Small Flap 9965 from the late 1990s is very similar to the Small Shoulder Bag but it's a greatly improved design with more space, a longer strap, and an outside back pocket.

Yes! I had one in brown. For some reason with my nails, I end up leaving more scratches with a turnlock style bag. I love them, I just don’t carry them much for that reason.

I think she is black but badly needs moisture. I bought what was advertised as a Coach olive book bag. I bathed her and moisturized her, and she turned out to be a black book bag-LOL! Good luck!

I found this order form for vintage styles, looks like the Courier came in sage green. IMG_1969.JPG
