Hello! I am new to posting but long time lurker in the forum and in need of you lovely peoples advice.
I am a coach enthusiast in the UK and have stumbled across this coach in a charity shop. I cant find it online or in the 1993 coach catalogs, it’s leather from what I can tell and has a metal hang tag (I know, not as cute as the leather ones), the metal snap closure is from Romag. I have no idea what the name of the bag is as I can’t find it anywhere other than on EBAY which has me worried about it authenticity. Are you able to please help me? Thank you!
Item: sorry I don’t know the style name for the bag
Purchased from: charity/thrift shop
Creed code: F3Q 9340 (made in 1993?)
Price: £8.50

Appreciate your experienced knowledge

Hi Authenticators, can someone take a look at this purse, please? I think it's Saddle vs Buff based on the photos, but it's hard to tell for sure. A guess? Do you think the bag is authentic?
Have a wonderful holiday! Thanks for sharing so much of your time and expertise through this past year!

Item: Genuine Vintage leather Coach bag

Welcome to tPF!

It's authentic and was made in 2003. The exact name isn't in my files but it might have been called a Retro Hippie Hobo.

I’m glad to be here! Thank you so much for the swift reply Hyacinth That’s why I couldn’t find it in the catalogue, I was looking in the wrong decade! Really appreciate the advice, have a great holiday and new year.

Hello again all, I just have a question about this item:
Bonnie Cashin Coach Planner on ebay (seller: georgia_best_norcal_shop)
, I saw a similar listing for a wallet on etsy a couple days ago. This is fake right? I did NOT purchase this, but my curiosity is running high after seeing two similar listings sell (cant find the etsy one right now). The gold printed "Bonnie Cashin for Coach" is not the correct label, right? It looks just like the "glove tanned leather" print they put on newer bags now. I'd just like to know so I can either report (or buy LOL) in the future when I see these. Thanks guys!!!

Wow, what a find! I've never seen it but I believe it is authentic. I've seen both the 'Bonnie Cashin for Coach' logo and 'top grain cowhide' in those fonts. It was made in the 1960s. Whoever bought it got a great deal.

Hi! How does this bag look to you? It's so rare I couldn't find any info on the internet. Limited edition from 2001, looks like 235 made only! Please and thank you for taking a look and giving an opinion. The seller was selling the same bag on both Poshmark and Ebay. I bought it on ebay, because they have better buyer protections in case you give the thumbs down.

Item: Coach Limited Edition Bonnie Cashin Remake Body Bag
Ebay, Seller: Pettbellenuit
Photos attached. No measurements given, looks smallish.

I believe it is authentic. I don't have this one in my files but I have the all leather version, which was called Bonnie retro small hobo. It was 9 x 11 3/4 inches. This looks to be similarly sized.

Going by the apparent size of the seller's fingers compared with the bag, it must be VERY small!

There's nothing in my files or catalogs at all but the creed seems to be from a genuine Cashin tribute bag, created by them shortly after Cashin's death in February of 2000. The serial number indicates that yours was made in September of 2001.

9075 and 9076 were 2 similar Cashin tribute bags made around the same time. The name for yoursw would probably include the description "Signature" and "Retro Hobo".

More opinions are welcome.

ETA - Whateve beat me to the finish line


ETA - Here's the Wayback page for the all-leather versions:



and a creed from the all-leather version:

It's authentic. It could be saddle or bramble.

Thank you....but someone else bought it before I saw your response.

Hi! I hope I’m doing this correctly. I’m just trying to see if this Coach is authentic. I got it from Goodwill. So I don’t have any specifics on it besides photos. What do you think?
