Hello authenticators and coach lovers,

I found this bag at a local thrift store and I think it may be vintage coach but I don't know much about vintage coach. Please let me know your thoughts! Appreciate any and all help!!

My thoughts (from quick googling) is that it's a 1970s-1980s berry penny pocket?? The authentication on the inside is #0739-134.
The dimensions are: height ~6 in, width ~2 in.; and length 9 1/4. it's difficult to get correct dimensions since the bag is a bit smooshed! Let me know if you need any additional info. Thanks again!

The style name "Penny" has never been officially confirmed by any Coach media (catalogs, print ads, etc) for a vintage Coach bag. We discourage names that are only known from non-Coach sources on the internet from being used, too many of them are not accurate.

It's genuine. The serial number format shows it was made between 1990 and 1993, and the official name was just Pocket Purse, style 9755. The color looks more like Mahogany to me.

Here's a 1989 catalog page:
