You can't go wrong with a vintage Coach bag. The leather is as thick as a baseball mit and it will wear like iron. The lighter brown colors age beautifully to a distressed look. I have had several Coach bags like these, and was never able to actually wear one out. I passed them along because I grew tired of the style or wanted a different size, etc. Be sure to post pics when your new (to you) bag arrives! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455944 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 01:01:09 +0000 Angie 455944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 - by far! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455873 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:41:48 +0000 bj1111 455873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 then 1. the others are non contenders for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455866 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:30:02 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 455866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, before I finished reading your post, I was going to say that 5 was my favorite. I like 1 the best of the possibilites - I think the color looks very classic yet up-to-date, and the stitching reinforces the satchel shape in the best way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455834 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:51:57 +0000 grewitch 455834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #3. Love the colors and style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455831 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:48:05 +0000 rae 455831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 the best and 5 the least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455828 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:45:07 +0000 bella 455828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1.<br /> If you are not particularly picky about the brand, leather vintage bags are easy to come by at thrift stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455827 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:44:38 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 455827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have #4 in black. It is a nice bag and convenient as the strap is long enough for cross body.. I also like #2 and #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455822 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:42:54 +0000 catgirl 455822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only one I don't like is #5. The rest are all classic and I love the color of #4.</p> <p>OOPS! Just saw that #5 is what's being replaced. And to think I always yell at my son to read ALL the information before jumping to conclusions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455818 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:40:43 +0000 texstyle 455818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coach does make good bags. I like #1 and #4. I've had good experience on Etsy but I ask a lot of extra questions and I try to make sure the seller has done a good number of previous transactions with positive ratings. Have you looked for Nine West, Stone Mountain. Liz Claiborne and others? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455799 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:23:53 +0000 Kate 455799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mellllls, fair enough. I'm limiting myself to vintage/used because I want real leather, but I don't want to buy new leather. I was searching more generally, but the Coach bags kept on being closest to what I was looking for, and easier to authenticate over the internet than some nameless ones that claim to be leather (#5 was an etsy purchase that claimed to be vintage 80s leather... and is very much not leather). I'm definitely open to non-Coach options, I just want to make sure that they're real leather (and not new) before buying them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455791 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:14:41 +0000 Mellllls 455791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my favorite is #5. any particular reason you are limiting yourself to vintage coach bags? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455789 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:13:11 +0000 ironkurtin 455789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 1, 2, and 4 are the winnings. If the seller hasn't listed the # on the inside of the bag, ask them to send that to you. Otherwise the bag is a fake. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455776 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:48:38 +0000 Velma 455776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, the small saddle bag, is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455775 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:47:57 +0000 rachylou 455775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 and #4 are my picks. #3 is the classic shape, #4 is a little unusual. I don't like the light tan of #1, looks unfinished to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455773 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:45:32 +0000 Astrid 455773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one best, I think it has the nicest colour and I love the style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/input-needed-shopping-for-vintage-coach-bags#post-455769 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:38:09 +0000 Kate 455769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've decided it's about time to upgrade from my fake leather tan purse (pic 5).</p> <p>I've scoured etsy, and here are the contenders. I want to have both a tan and a brown purse eventually, so I've included both color options here. All are authentic coach, in roughly the same price range, and about the same size (7-8 inches tall, 9-10.5 inches wide, with a 20-22" strap drop)</p> <p>Which do you like best? Which do you like least? All opinions are welcome! </p>
