I want to show you all the details of the gorgeous Bonnie Cashin tote I scored from ETSY. Is there a different thread? I saw the mini reveal thread but then I thought with the details it won't really be a "mini" reveal. .[emoji6]
Is this where I do a big reveal?

Okay! I am so so very excited! The color is so much better than in the original listing. I've never seen this bag before till I saw it in the vintage thread and just randomly found it when I simply searched "vintage coach tote". The listing said nothing about Bonnie Cashin but I recognized it and didn't waste a second negotiating to a lower price of $47! Guys, I would've gladly paid the $60 listing price! But hey I love me a good score! [emoji23]
So here she is! [emoji7][emoji7]

Inside the pocket: I found a penny and the number *183
Anyone know what that means?

Great find! As an FYI, there have been some prior discussions about this version of the "Skinny Tote" and its relation to Bonnie Cashin. Here's a thread:

I understand that it is adapted from Bonnie Cashin's design but isn't one of her original designs. Nevertheless, it is a great bag. I have one, and I love it! The original Bonnie Cashin design has the rolled handles, which makes them harder to wear on your shoulder. I find the ones like yours much more comfortable to wear.
