Hello, I bought this cute bag. Please and thank you for authenticating! I looked up this bag online, and almost everyone everywhere was calling it "musical owls" style C6587. I love owls. I thought those were owls on the bag. Now, today, I look at the listing with fresh eyes. Those are penguins. It's an optical illusion. It's not one big fat owl blowing a double-barreled horn. It's two penguins side by side. Oops. This is another story like penny pocket, someone makes the mistake and everyone copies. !!

I can only see your creed photo, but if it's from the same bag in the Ebay listing it's a genuine... Convertible Clutch. Made in 1999.

Did you mean "identify", or "authenticate"?
Sorry, I meant to say authenticate, yes there wasn't a clear image in the listing so i asked for another photo which the seller then sent to me , so that creed should belong to the bag

thanks !

Hello! I would appreciate any help in both identifying and authenticating this Coach bag. I bought it at a yard sale and tried to find information through a Google image search. I found some similar postings describing it at a 1970s satchel or briefcase, but no style name or more exact information on the year. It's a dark reddish brown color. It's 13.25" wide, 9" tall, and 3.25" deep at the base. The handles measure 6.25" wide x 4.5" tall. Any information is appreciated. I've added the Imgur album link here. The second link is the same, I just added a space before the // symbol in case it doesn't appear on some devices. Thanks!

Sheesh! Does norcalstoragetreasures really believe that a 2-year old bag is "vintage?"

For the record, Coach does call those birds owls.

ETA - Found a better more legible picture.
This is a picture of a tag I was able to find.

Thank you for the research! To me, they're penguins now. I can't see it differently. 3 arms 2 beaks 3 feet at least, I see 2 birds there.
