I need a tutorial for that up-side down bag.Is it me or does that triple decker look user unfriendly ??

LOL.
Woah is right.
Here's the link in case anyone (like me) has trouble finding it from the main Coach page.

At this very moment I'm "restoring" a red NYC Dinky and might frivolously ask <cough> $300 for it. Yes, an actual Dinky, not a Pocket Purse.
Lol, and your looks better than what coach is offering for 10x the price, aaaaaand they sold out of the brown and black Willis! You can get a brown and Willis for a dime a dozen on ebay. Jeez!

Please ask $300 and would it kill them to call it a Pocket Purse? Is everything smaller than a City Bag now a Dinky??
. Yes! Co-sign.
Thanks for posting the link! While it is nice to see them returning to some of the classics....Jeez the prices are high...
I too wish that they would make them again in the US
I just keep looking at the vintage ones and marveling at the prices

I was wondering if these would pop up there. Love the random and fun customizations you can do. And I was able to get to NYC I'd go look -but hey...my birthday is super soon 
Also that hunter green dinky has me seeing hearts, stars and Johnny Depp (my forever Hollywood crush) I've been on a green handbag kick as of late. I have a cream Regina on her way to me that I plan to dye a rich deep kelly/bottle green.

Anyone going to the coach originals pop up in nyc? Also anyone see the vintage bags up on the coach site, I just looked at them, I'm gunna keep my comments to myself, lol
I am loving the vintage piece currently, I just received a brand new Soho Tote and its love!!
Thanks for posting the link! And lol those prices!
Although, for the trail bag I’ve been seeing some crazy prices on eBay and Etsy (before even adding shipping and duty to Canada) - so I’m actually a little tempted!!!
I really like the new couriers they have my gripe was I didn't want just one big pocket, and they put a pocket in the back and made it crossbody, and now I'm tempted, but I can buy like 4 vintage couriers for the price of the new ones.
So just doing a little catch up here!
You and me both!
Lovely to see! Lol are you helping Coach with the vintage rental service mentioned on the Instagram for the pop up store?? lol,lol
Gorgeous!
I was expecting my Legacy Flap Shoulder Bag to be heavy, which didn’t occur to me until after I impulsively bid and won. But I lucked out, as there is less strap detailing, etc it is surprisingly light. I have not ruled out another. I walked away from a huge Bleeker duffle at a flea market because it was heavy.
The Beaumont does have stitching details on the front and back of the bag. In a pinch , I go to the AT thread and do a search of the bag. Hy often attaches catalog photos.
Try to find them cheap is right!
Again, lovely. Thanks for posting! Been following your posts for a few years now and it is cool to see your collection. I am working on a book shelf display (ready made) myself.Do you mean like this or even closer?
(I have a very silly toddler making faces at me)

Oh but look at the colours!!!
I don’t know too much about the courier but I still like the look of the real vintage bags better. Even though the new originals are supposed to be also glove tanned leather, they look super stiff and I’m not a huge fan of the colours they’ve chosen for the contrast stitching.
Also, what’s up with that triple decker thing???!!! No offence to those who like it... but why did they do that to perfectly colourful dinky/pocket purses???
In the case of the trail bag, it would be cheaper for me to buy the new “original” version from coach, rather than a vintage one on line (at least one that can be shipped to Canada)! It would be the most I’d ever spent on a bag, which I worry might be a slippery slope..
And more importantly, it took months for me to convince myself I don’t need that bag! Like, I mean, the zipper could break right..?? Lol...
The Coach originals has me thinking I would like a Willis now. I don’t know much about them so I will have to start researching a bit Obviously I will buy one to rehab myself lol
Obviously I will buy one to rehab myself lolI need some advice... I am looking to join the Regina club here and am debating between two bags I found. Both were made in the 90s and have already been authenticated here. One is black and the other is beige/white.
I would love to get both but I’m trying to not to that..
Black/dark brown is typically my default because they would match everything and easier to touch up in terms of colour (though I haven’t actually tried yet..). However, the seller might be questionable- even though the bag itself has been authenticated, I was also warned that the seller has very recently listed some fakes. So I don’t know how I feel about buying from her....
The beige bag is so cute! And the condition is supposedly lightly used (the pictures seem to corroborate but you never know). However, I bought a light colour Devon bag earlier this year and it was a lot of work to clean up! Even though I now love that bag and use it occasionally (nervously, I should add -I wouldn’t want to risk staining it even if it isn’t totally perfect)
I should add that I do have a black Winnie (and still regret not getting the beige one immediately when the seller offered it to me after I had bought the black). I think those two bags are quite similar in size?
Or I could skip the Reginas and just get the new trail bag??? what do you all think? I think I need to hear more points of view before I can make a decision!!! Thanks a lot for reading!

I would be so great if they would sell vintage straps that were taken from bags that were un-saveable. Or new straps that are made in the vintage style that you can buy. Some of the straps are too short for me, and I'd love to be able to buy a 48" strap (like the Willis one) in every color. And hang tags to replace the ones that were lost!!! But no way will I spend that much for a rehabbed bag! I know there are plenty of people out there who will, though. Its not even the cost of the materials to rehab, its the time it takes to find a bag that is in good enough condition and wait for the auction etc. etc. etc.

If it were my decision I would get the black Regina. You need to own at least one to know if it works for you. And you can always sell it if it doesn't work out.
