I mostly use the strap for my Regina. Oddly enough, all my vintage bags I tend to use the crossbody strap even if they have a top handle (Willis, trail, Regina). My newer bags I don't. If they have a shoulder strap (Chelsea) or a top handle (Rogue), I don't use the crossbody strap.

I will say, I'm 5'7", my torso is longer and my legs are short to average, so wearing the Regina crossbody isn't an issue. It hits me right at the hip. The strap is thin, so it tends to dig into my shoulder after a bit. I do want to carry it by the handle, but the handle is so nicely shaped that I don't want to ruin it. I know, I know.

As @pruetjx said, you can't double up the strap and those clasps are extra dainty. I have seen other people knot the strap to the desired length. I'll try my Pocket Purse strap tomorrow and see if it works. The rings on the Regina are smaller.

Yes of course I can knot the strap! can't believe I didn’t think of it! :) thanks!!

And with winter coming I think it’s probably going to work better that it has such a long strap. A small pet peeve of mine is actually that the strap on most vintage bags are too short to go over my bulky winter layers and coats.

That’s it. I think I’m sufficiently convinced... just ordered the bag, in black! :cool:

If you could check your pocket purse strap tomorrow I’d still really appreciate it. The pocket purse is on my list of purses I’d like to acquire some day so it’d be good to know if the straps are interchangeable. Thanks a lot!!

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.

Your post reminds me that I want to look at leather crafters on Etsy to think about having a custom made strap!
And side note, the reboot of the Courier came out at least the Christmas before last, it was in my local store then. The manager looked at me like I had two heads when I told her it was first released in the 70’s. I believe it has been on the website since then.

So went to the nyc coach originals pop up. It was great. The bags they remade were really pretty. Got some stuff. Good day. Wanted a pillow but when I went back and they were gone. Lol. All those bags hanging there are new bags remade in the vintage style.

THANK YOU for the 411! Good job :yes: Did you catch a look at the creeds in the new bags, the colorful hanging bags? I imagine they were for display only? Lol I could see me being escorted out for touching everything!

The colorful bags had old style creeds, it was like a store, you told them what you wanted and they went in the back and got it for you. Everything was for sale and you could touch all you wanted, they were all just so damn expensive!

Ty! I am guessing those small bags started at $295? I think that is what they are asking for the refurbed Pocket Purses, oh, I’m sorry, :lol::lol::lol: Dinky’s online.

Gurl you just hug that colorful family of vintage you have a little tighter! I am here enjoying coffee with my PP (actual PP) and Dinky (actual Dinky) lol. And my refurbished $50 Plaza.
The cost does not surprise me. They’re not a non-profit. Today’s statement of the obvious.
They want to give people (vintage, lol) like me a chance to buy what I missed out on earlier in my life and introduce it to younger peops who became aware of it by thrifting, older relatives, tPF, etc . Coach sees there is market for vintage , hence going after the market share! All I can say is thank God for our dedicated authenticators and all the posters here :flowers:

The QUINCY! And the MEGAN CHEVRON - WITH A TURNLOCK!
I just purchased a quincy for myself (the creed number has a special meaning) and love the bucket shape - actually looking at another one. I think this and the casino are my fave shapes.
Thank you for sharing photos - the pop up looks dreamy!

How much was your tote? Does it have a style number?

How much were the coffee cups and water bottles?

Wish they had put all the Coach Originals knick knacks online!

You're welcome! I liked the yellow geometric bag and the Chevron too.

Here are the photos I promised @quertie. The first two show my daughter (5'6") modeling green Regina with the original strap. You can see it hangs below her hip.

The next two are with a strap from my green Court. It actually matches almost perfectly!
