Maybe between 8 and 10, if you're lucky. Just be sure to try one on first to make sure it works for you.
8134 - Girlie french calf
8146 - Girlie Perforated Hobo Spr'02, purple, vicuna or pink
8148 - Girlie leather hobo, 10x7
8164 - Girlie Suede Hobo
8165 - girlie nappa hobo in holiday'01, sometimes called Ashton by sellers
8169 - girlie nappa hobo
8312 - Girlie Nappa Hobo maybe
8319 - leather Girlies w wacky creed and outlet stamp - "OF COMPIFTFIY NATURAL GLOVE TANNED..." And yes, they're genuine.

That's all I've found in my files but there may be more. Most of them will have outlet stamps. I'm not completely sure about all the names and numbers. Just a suggestion - if the Nappa leather on the Girlies is even half as nice as it is on the larger bags, those would be worth looking for. JMO

here's an example - not my listing, of course:

Thank you @Hyacinth for the style numbers! Now I can narrow down the 5000 vintage hobos much easier! Few of them I found the listing doesn't even call it by it's name. Just leather bag, hobo bag etc or style # but I didn't know what style number to search by!
The only concern I have about this bag is falling off my shouldes. Anyone own one to give me a feedback if it does that?

I second the nappa leather! I've never seen one of these IRL but the nappa leather tortilla bags are divine.

I don't, and if no one else here answers after a few days, check over at the Vintage Photos and Chat thread (even though it's not technically vintage)
http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/vintage-coach-photos-chat.857690/
or ask at the main Coach forum using something like "Question about Girlie Hobo bags from 15 years ago". There are a few older posts scattered around the main forum by members who have them but none that I could find about how well they stay on your shoulder. The strap pad they come with might help but I don't know how grippy it is, all my bags are crossbody.

Please authenticate! Bought bulk from an eBay auction, everything else was real but one other bag so want to double check this one. I don't like the look or logo

What? Really! I didn't know this existed! What's the story here and is it authentic?

Yes, it's genuine. Where do you think all those real AND fake "Bean Bag" creeds came from? Daria48 Guides page - "The Curious Case of the Coach Bean Bag"

Wow! I remember reading about it but never actually saw the actual bean bag. Now it all makes sense. That's a funny mistake putting that stamp in actual authentic bags. :)
