Can you wear 9530 crossbody? I like the shape of it a tiny bit better, but I like the back pocket on 9965.Here you go @Yrelle:
9530 vs 9965. Last pic shows the difference in strap length with both bags on the longest setting

Unfortunately no
. On the longest setting it’s at my rib cage when I crossbody it. It lives up to it’s name, it’s a shoulder bag for sure. Im afraid to dunk the strap because I don’t want it to shrink. On the last setting, the strap is the perfect drop for me right now. If you ever got one in a neutral colour, you could probably use another bag’s longer strap on it. I know you’re soured on the 9965 after getting a fake, but you should give the style another chance, it’s a great bag

Thanks. They are pretty similar aren’t they? I think I’m good with the 9965 I have. For now. Lol! Are their straps same size, widthwise? Can you use the 9965 strap on the 9530?
Just checked. You can use the 9965, 9061 legacy rambler & 9019 Maggie strap on the 9530. They’re all the same width
I’m just beginning my journey down the rabbit hole of vintage Coach bags, and this thread had been invaluable. I have spent waaaay too much time today checking out all your posts. Bags that I thought were tiny are much larger than expected and vice versa. Thank you so much for posting your wonderful collections
One from the late 70s/early 80s. The states measurements from the catalogue are 9X6X3. Did the size change over time? That doesn’t make it easy!
9170 and 9710 are two different bags. The catalog for 9710 says 9 x 6 x 3. I had one but I can't remember. It is probably very similar to the collegiate in what it holds.
Oops, I transposed the figures didn’t I? Sorry for any confusion caused.
@LadaZuri I have a chance to pick up a Bella Court for a good price. Not a gorgeous green one but the price and condition are right. I already own a green Watson. I think it’s almost a Bella Court except no top handle.
I’m also getting a mint black Winnie and dimensions are fairly close except, of course, corners are rounded on the Bella court. I aiready have four other Winnies and swore I was done (famous last words!) but, hey, my birthday is next week so I need a present right?!
Just bought this cutie too.

As whateve posted, there is the Drawstring Sac Small #4020 that easily fits my phone and a card holder with room for a few small items. the Littleton #4144 is tiny and since I have it I thought I would show it too.
My phone, which is 6", about 15.5 cm, is at the level of the Littleton drawstrings. And fake Littletons are rampant. When I saw the listing for mine, I surprised to see it appeared authentic.
Most of the Drawstring Sacs I have seen have an inner pocket with a Creed but mine (and one or two other listings I have seen) only have the reg # and Coach logo on a tab at the top of the bag.
Let me know if you want to see any other items in either bag.

One the shortest setting , shoulder and crossbody
