Yes, that was another concern. Do these fabric bags tend to hold up well? Obvs not like leather.

Some styles of signature bags tend to wear more than others. If I use a siggy bag, I prefer to buy styles with leather bases (since corners are prone to wear) and if possible, leather trim around the top so you don't have the wear that's often seen on styles like signature Carly bags.

I can't imagine how the Goodwill bag got the kind of wear on the sides though unless the bag was tossed on the ground and run over and dragged by a truck.

Good to know - thanks. I'll hold out for one in better shape.

I found my first glued-in serial today!!! I think it's a slim satchel? Dimensions are: 13''x7''x2.5''
Pictures
A timeframe for when it was made would also be great

Nice! I'm rehabbing one just like that right now! Where did you find it?

I found it while I was out thrifting I definitely need to go out on snow days more often! Hardly anyone was out and I also found a new Columbia jacket with the tags still attached.

Lucky. Here in Seattle even if you find one at a thrift store, they're way overpriced. I got mine on Ebay. Had horrible photos - I wasn't even really sure what I was getting til it showed up! $25, so I risked it.

Authentic.

That's what I was afraid of.

Thanks.

It's authentic. It's a slim satchel compact #9425. The slim satchel standard or large is taller. It was made in the late 70s up to around 1983. It looks like burgundy!

That's what I was afraid of.

Thanks.

You're welcome! These are hard to resist! You don't see the green very often. The blue is even rarer. Rarest of all are the smooth leather versions.

They had me at lime green and striped lining.

Shameless bump.

I assume this is a baseball made from a coach bag--best case. Just really curious. Thank you!

Yeah, right! I've heard that before!


it's authentic and is a paperweight. It's not made from a bag.

I'll try to find a style number.

ETA: Style 443:

I just realized Coach is making the baseball again. Style 61740. Not the two tone though.
