No clue what this one is called, but it is looking rather sad. I don’t know if I’ll be able to bring this one back up to snuff, but before I try I had better have it authenticated first! Please take a look at this poor abused bag:
Dimensions:
13 w 10.5 h 20 inch strap drop apprx.
depth appears to be flat honestly

Comments: Hello wonderful folks! I was hoping you could help me authenticate this bag? I've read through many guides and compared photos, but this is my first time purchasing Coach (much less vintage Coach!) so I'd love a second opinion. :) The number appears to be A5C - 9870.

Genuine and made in 1995, although the metal hangtag isn't the original one that came with the bag, that would have been leather.
