Thank you Hyacinth....
I knew that name rang a bell and not in a good way, if Post Pouches weren't so darn expensive I would not have bought from her.
I got to learn how to use the search function properly, I ran the name and got no match on it.

I'm awfully glad she is good genuine tho.:blush:

Keep trying until you get the Search link working for you, it's a very valuable feature. Just enter the seller ID or whatever you're looking up on the first line titled "KEYWORDS" and don't bother entering anything else until you get down to the "search in forums" dropdown menu. Then just select "Coach", just the top line, unless of course you're searching another brand or want to search ALL the forums (the box underneath it "search child forums" should be selected by default so leave it checked).. Then just click the SEARCH box. That's it! you don't have to select something on every line. The simpler, the better.

Maybe? I don't see any stamps of any kind. The brown bag looks very Coach to me but the kisslock tote, not as much. Something just isn't right about it. The leather is very soft though, it will still make a nice book bag. Here they are:

Just noticed something else. Take a look at the hinge of the kiss lock, where the two parts come together, do you see a B there? This is what I mean:

The B stamp on the hinge is for Branson, the company that made the frame and hinge. I've seen a few "guides" claim that it stood for Bonnie Cashin, which isn't correct. Branson hinges were used by several accessory manufacturers in addition to Coach and Meyers.
