I had one but I sold it. It was too small for my needs, tight getting things in and out. Compared to the Court I would call it a bit clunky.
That's really helpful. I definitely need the width of the Court. I will pass on the Blazer for now. Thank you!
This is amazing! Do you have a style number so I can look for one too?
I dont have a style number, all the bag has is a little metal tag inside that says coach, maybe someone out there has an old catalog pic.
I couldn't find your post with this red, white and blue bag's measurements, but it looks like it could be similar to the 9205, Saddle Bag Small, listed on this 1978 price sheet.
A brown 9205 was authenticated and ID'd by @whateve here:

Coach did a special collection in 2016 for Barney's New York using stripes sewn onto flaps of vintage bags:

Yep it is 10 x 8 x 3, so I've been calling it the wrong thing lol it's a small saddle. I dont think it's a Barneys bag, I know I've seen the suede bags with the stripes, this is the same design it's just all leather. Perhaps it was as limited July 4th run lol
That makes sense, it was probably a special occasion, limited edition type bag. Nice find!
My daughter bought this bag on Poshmark, she finally brought it over for me to rehab. ( I had it authenticated here)
She only paid $28.00 and it’s extremely clean. A couple corners have wear, over all very good. I love it and she is thrilled!

Hello, all.
Two things:
1. Does anyone have a photo of the Soho swatches from 1994 and 1996? I just won a blue Waverly bag and it looks exactly like the cover of this 1996 catalog, however the serial was C4C-4133, so 1994.
2. I'm sort of heartbroken, because, although it is in great condition, I wanted to start fresh with a quick bath and rinse. I didn't even soak it. I just washed, rinsed it and put it in a bucket for a water and a dash of vinegar soak for around 2 minutes while I rinsed out the sudsy sink, because it was so nice beforehand. Then, pressed all areas with towels to get the bulk of the water off before I stuffed her.
Well, I seemed to have ruined the creed and serial numbers. The creed is legible, the serial is gone. Is this a Soho leather common problem? I am so sad. I mean, I had it authenticated, so I know it's legitimate but I also like having all the info intact.
So, if you help me get a name to this beautiful blue Soho leather, thank you.
And if you have any advice about the creed/serial, or just want to commiserate, thanks for that as well.

I don't have the swatches, but this 1994 catalog photo lists Soho colors Black, Bottle Green, British Tan, Butterscotch, Chambray, Mahogany, Navy, Ocean, Stone and White. Not all styles were available in all colors.
From your post on the Authentication thread, I checked the eBay listing. Your 1994 Waverly might be Navy, slightly faded. Is this a pretty good shot of the actual color?
The other blue choices were Ocean (looks pale greenish-blue in the catalog pic above) and Chambray (no known examples, could be a lighter blue).
The creed shown looks like it was pretty faded already. I've had "creed fade" happen on both Lightweights and Classic bags after dunking, so I'm learning to be more cautious, and accept it if it happens. I don't think there's any way to fix it. I know it's disappointing...sorry it happened! Nevertheless, it looks like you got a gorgeous bag!
