The hangtag very likely was added afterwards. The lining at least looks original but I don't think the ball chain is from Coach and it may not even be brass.

On Coach briefcases made in and after 1996, the squared-off turnlocks usually DO have indents in the back, so that warning sign applies only to purses.

Genuine. Coach's full name for it is Bonnie's Legacy Linen Canvas Small Zip Satchel which not only gives the fabric description but probably holds or ties the record for the longest name ever given to a Coach handbag. :D

The styles were created as a tribute to Bonnie Cashin, who had died in early 2000.

WOWZA...that's a mouthful, especially for such a petite bag...and a fitting tribute :) Thanks, Hyacinth!
