I think the bag is pretty, and I love the lines on the end, but I’m new to the vintage game and haven’t seen it before. The blue zipper on the inner pocket has me suspicious that it’s been used/abused. Let me know when you can!

About those blue zippers, the ones with the dark or denim-colored fabric base - They're called "industrial zippers" and they were very common in vintage and classic Coaches on both the top and the inside pockets. They may sometimes turn up in fakes, but in a genuine Coach there's absolutely nothing wrong about them.

thanks, Hyacinth! I had considered a repaired/replacement zipper, but not the idea of an “industrial zipper”.
 
If someone has time, could you have a look at my two little Goodwill Outlet finds? I took a gamble since it was "the bins" and they cost very little. Thanks!
