Vintage Coach Size Comparison Guide -Low Chat, Only On Topic Posts

For @Morgan_Bellini:

So the Carousel 9942 & Court 9870 are almost the exact same in terms of dimensions but most of the Carousel’s measurements are lost to the handles. The actual usable measurements of the Carousel are 7.5 inch width x 5.5 inch length & 3 inch depth. There’s a button on the side to help open the zipper mouth more but it’s a pain in the butt to actually re-button again. I filled the bag as much as possible but it doesn’t really hold a lot. I also wouldn’t overfill it because the eyelets where the strap attaches are so small, I don’t trust them to hold a lot of weight. I would only carry my phone, card case, coin purse, key & mask/sanitizer in this bag. You could also put in a small cosmetics case. I used the biggest sunglasses case I had instead. Overall, it’s a nice bag but I wouldn’t pay what resellers are asking for it & it’s not the most practical! It’s nice to have as a collector’s item & as an evening bag lol

eta: Also, if it helps, it holds more than a Pocket Purse but way less than a Court

Thank you! That's very helpful! It is so cute. I think if I ever see one for a stupid low price I'll go for it. I love the structure of it!

Yea it looks so weird but I love it lol. Im happy keeping it for the price I paid. If it was a splurge purchase, Id probably be a bit disappointed by the lack of functionality haha

eta: Forgot to mention, the bag has some weight to it even when it’s empty due to the handles & 2 leather pockets inside.

All readers, will you show me what vintage bag you have that is comparable in size to the larger Courier? I have probably 10 really cute styles, but they are all small. I think I have about determined that the larger Courier is the minimum size I can comfortably carry all my things in, and I am kind of hoping there are some other styles that I don't realize are right around that size. TIA!

That works! I do have a Court, but if that is a City bag, I don't have one of those.

Here’s a courier and ranch (which is basically a stewardess with a back pocket and no feet):

Love these comparisons! I have been thinking about a large Courier! And a HL!

This is making me go over to the Comparison thread to see if a Logan is posted!

As promised Ladies...a comparison between the Logan and a Drifter. Whilst the Drifter is ‘fatter’, the Logan is taller...both can fit my essentials in more or less exactly the same...which surprised me somewhat! Once open, both are like little hungry buckets!

Both happily hold: a large folding cosmetic mirror, a slim wallet, a very, very full cosmetic bag, a zippered pouch with sanitiser, mask, glasses cleanser spray and wipes, plus 100 ml glass Jo Malone Cologne. Logan pictured 1st, Drifter 2nd.

This is my first comparison, I hope it’s of interest @Lake Effect @Lucyblue13 @LunaSilver

Thank you very much. Logan looks very nice. I will keep my eye open for one if price is not bad.
