I don't have any information about this style in my files but I don't see any problems. More opinions are welcome.

It might be from the Transatlantic Leather line from around 2002-2004, but I don't have any details either.

comments: Please authenticate this bag when you get a chance. Thank you.

Genuine. It's from the 1991 50th Anniversary Retro Collection. Style 9001 and the official name was Retro Dinky Shopping Bag and it probably would have been made in the 1991 Anniversary year.

ETA - there's a copy of the page showing that bag in the 1991 50th Anniversary catalog in our scanned Vintage Catalogs thread in the reference sub-forum of the main forum:

I'm curious to know why janeny5 renegged on the previous sale of that bag for a lot less money. It looks like it just sold within the last 3 days.

Sold for $70: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Classic-Black-Leather-Coach-Bag-62e6b926e609abb92faf850b
Relisted and sold for $237: https://poshmark.com/listing/Rare-V...sue-Dinky-Retro-Tote-62ea944117e49c5e64c60cb6
 
I'm sure that's a mistake. Someone grabbed the wrong piece at the factory.
Interesting the little quirky things that happened in the factories. I love finding those things the most, like irregulars and such. They make the vintage pieces extra special to me. Also just to clarify the measurements of the pouch are actually a little over 9.5 and 5.25 I didnt have my tape measurer on hand at the time and i eyed it. I am home now and just remeasured it, and it indeed matches the larger of the cosmetic bag styles the 7166 like you stated.
