Can someone share with me the difference between the vintage Pocket purse and the vintage Dinky? They look so similar and I actually own a vintage Pocket (red!) but the Dinky appeals to me and I can't tell if it's just because it reminds me so much of the Pocket purse? Am I insane?! They're different, right?!

Yes, dinkys are small and only have 1 compartment, I think, and pocket purses are bigger with more pockets.

The Dinky has no slip pockets. I don’t see me using the Dinky much, but I am happy to have it in my small bag collection! I could not pass it up, in pristine condition, made in NYC for a steal.

Thank you so much for the pics -- that helps a TON. And thank you to @valv54 for confirming the size difference too! Really appreciate the responses on this. They are both adorable but I think the Pocket is probably the more useful size for me, plus the removable strap is appealing.

Thanks for the comparison! I was kind of wondering about these 2 and their sizes :smile:

My pleasure. I find one of the more frustrating aspects of loving vintage Coach is that it would be really nice to able to see them IRL to gauge there size. I have bought several bags impulsively that are not as user friendly as I thought. The next best thing is to see comp photos.
The good news is that I decided I did want to keep a small collection of bags I consciously know are for collecting’s sake more than regular use. There are so many cute and interesting styles. :smile:
