It looks more like something from the Varick line. You might try searching ebay using 'varick". The Wayback Machine is no help and by 2005 Coach wasn't including travel items in their catalogs. It's NOT a Cabin Bag.

If NoShoePolish is around, maybe she knows.

Just to add - the only place I've been able to find that style is on an old list of style numbers which unfortunately don't include any style names, and in one or 2 listings from a few years ago on a Japanese selling site where the seller just calls it a Boston Bag. While Coach DID make one style of handbag with that official name, this isn't it. "Boston Bag" has become a generic or catch-all name for a top handle bag. If you search Ebay for that name you'll get dozens of different styles. It's like "doctor bag".

Mystery drawstring. I’d appreciate the style name, if you have it. The Creed stamp is very light and is stamped “irregular “.
Measurements 11” tall , 12” wide, 5.5” deep, strap drop adjustable to 22”.
