Omg!! I’m so happy for you! She’s too small for me or I would have gone for it. Please post pictures when you rehab her.

Thanks!
I had originally thought everyone wanted the US bags, but learned here how nice the Costa Rica bags are. So I bought the gray Court bag, and found it to be a soft, thick leather as others had mentioned. So yes, it is great! Lol. My new bag is nice too. It does seem a little thicker than my two US ones. I had been considering a red station bag but hadn’t seen one made in Costa Rica until this one.
Yes, apparently many here have discovered the beauty of Costa Rica leather. I think whateve also said she has some made in Italy she likes a lot.
The absolutely best leather I've ever found was a made in the US 2001 (D plant) Legacy drawstring 9165. My 1999 US (C plant) Rambler's Legacy is heavenly too.
That’s right we have cousin Ramblers only a few months apart! Agreed, the leather on that one is pretty great.
It’s so interesting seeing all the differences!
Hi Ladies! Can you tell me when this bag was made? and which factory? This is a court bag! Thank you!

It was made in 1996. We don't have any official list of plant codes with specific locations and Coach has never published one.
Just a random comment about Costa Rica bags to add to the earlier discussion. I have discovered one thing I do not like about them... I think because the leather is a nice, thick leather, the straps are also bulkier and thicker. I really dislike the strap on my Station bag, whereas I love the straps on my US versions--they are light, a bit thinner, and easier to use.
I considered getting a new strap for my red bag, but I think since I mainly handcarry anyway, I just won't use the strap on that one. On my US bags, it is funny because I don't mind the long strap on those--and I never use long straps on other bags.

Nice! I like the pink and black combo!My newly acquired daypack and what I’ve been carrying in her!
