Comment: ID too please?

It was called a Poppy Edgestain Large Flap Satchel. I can't find any comps and it isn't my area of expertise so I'll refrain from authenticating.

It's interesting looking. I couldn't find any on eBay either. Probably because I have the serial number wrong.

I think you have the number correct. I found a bit of discussion on tpf about it in 2013 but none of the pictures were viewable. I ordered a different version, #25073, when it first came out but returned it. I didn't save any pictures.

The bag is genuine, the hangtag shows a lot less wear than the bag and may be a replacement.

Thank you, Hyacinth. The EBay salearea site has been inaccessible the few times I tried to access it but I will keep trying. As to the long posts, I am happy to read and learn. And as I am looking mainly at information on the older bags, that information would still be relevant . When I was in college in the early 60's, I couldn't afford those bags. Now that I can, the new Coach bags don't appeal to me. I like the wonderful thick soft leather of the older bags, along with their classic, simple, unpretentious, timeless lines.

I just checked it and it's working ok at the moment, just keep trying the link. Much of the information in the Guides is aimed toward the classic and vintage style Coaches, so I hope it's useful.

I can't remember exactly. It might have been because the skinny strap wasn't comfortable. I think I might have also worried that the flap would start getting bent from the way it is designed.
