Just won an auction for one of these today on ebay but it was a lot more than 9.90!! Hope it rehabs well.

Really? What color? I love school bags. I hope you don’t have to dunk it. So far mine have only needed cleaning and conditioning.

Thank you for that. I believe that’s it! This this photo come from the catalogues thread? Do you know what year it is? I think it’s an earlier version of the School Bag. I have one and it’s much different and bigger than this. Lots of differences.
I also forgot I have this photo. Now I want to find the strap and of course it’s hangtag

So apparently there were 2 versions of the School Bag Clutch, 9390 and 9515, with and without a dog-leash clip strap that attached to the top handle mounts. Coach used 2 different style numbers because a change in important construction details required a new style number.

The #9695 School Bag handbag is a different and probably more recent style since it was still in the 1984 catalogs - different details and construction. There may have been an earlier version of that too, maybe 9630. I think the clutch styles may have eventually developed into the School Bag and dropped the "Clutch" description over the years.

I feel a headache coming on ...


Some of that is probably wrong, but we may never know. The catalog trail is as cold as a politician's heart.

British Tan. I'm expecting I will have to dunk.

Yea!! The one in this picture has the seam down the middle, side hooks and different strap. Just like my burgundy one. So the one you just bought is just like one I posted right?

Yes, in British Tan.

My first post so bare with me if there is something I'm missing

Yes, that's the one!

The serial number codes indicate that this one was made in 2011, so it's only 11 years old. Maybe it's a replacement for an older one? It's genuine but it was made for the Factory Stores and names are hard to find.

Signature C fabric bags weren't even introduced until right around 2000.

Weird, interesting. It’s for sure a hand-me-down (at least the original) and it’s been floating in our family for 20+ years. However it didn’t reach my hands until recently- my mom passed it to my sister-in-law, who passed it to me.

Nevertheless it’s good to know it’s genuine! Thank you so much I appreciate it it’s been hard to find this exact bag in my hunt.

Both bags are authentic. The black one is a Chelsea Ashlyn and the silver one is a Campbell Belle. Both were made for outlets. I don't see any problems with the valet keychain. It was sold separately. No problems with the hangtags either.
