So, I’ve been hunting for this vintage Coach Station bag in bottle green for a while now. I finally found one online and it was a bit of a gamble, since I bought it used, but hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
I spent hours scouring different websites, comparing pictures and prices. Then, finally, I found the one I wanted. It wasn’t in perfect condition, of course, but it had that worn-in charm that I love about vintage pieces.
Getting My Hands on the Bag
I placed the order, and waited. When the package finally arrived, I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. The bag was even better in person! The leather was this deep, rich bottle green, and it felt so soft. It’s a crossbody, which is perfect for me since I’m always on the go. I measured the dimensions, and it’s approximately 9 1/4” (L) x 10” (H) x 2 1/2” (D). It has a detachable strap with a 22 drop, which is super convenient. Plus, there’s a top handle with a 2 1/2 drop, for when I want to carry it that way.
Comparing Shades of Green
Now, I know there are a few different shades of green that Coach has used over the years, like jade and forest green. It can be tough to tell the difference on a computer screen, but trust me, this bottle green is something special. It’s got this depth and richness that the other shades don’t quite match.
Styling the Bag
I’ve been experimenting with different ways to style this bag. It looks great with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual look, but I can also dress it up with a skirt and a nice top. The brass hardware adds a touch of elegance, too. The versatility is a big plus. I mean, who doesn’t love a bag that can do it all?
Is It Worth It?
Some folks might think spending a lot on a bag is crazy, but I see it as an investment. These vintage Coach bags are known for holding their value, and they’re so well-made that they last for years. Plus, I got this one for a decent price since it was used. Honestly, I think finding a good deal on a vintage piece makes it even more satisfying.
So, yeah, I’m pretty thrilled with my new (to me) bottle green Coach Station bag. It’s got that classic style I love, and it’s something I’ll be using for a long time to come. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but for me, it’s the perfect find.
