You're welcome.

Adding to what's been said, it appears that the "Bonnie Cashin Foundation" website is Not accepting Authenticity questions and photos, at least as of today. It says "returning soon".

There is a Click On email to submit "research questions", but that's definitely not the way it used to be set up. I hope they're just taking a vacation!

Interesting - it's not in any of the catalogs I have or in my other files but it definitely fits in with the Summer 2003 Hamptons Weekend line - same straps and lining, and the creed's right for the period.

Thank you Hyacinth for taking the time to check your files and catalogs.
I was also thinking that maybe it was made in 2003 based on what i read here about creeds.
Do you know what do i have to do to get coach catalogs?

Thank you BeenBurned.
Any idea what year was it made based on the creed?

According to the creed, the swingpack was made in March, 2003.

First letter of creed indicates month;
A=January
B=February
C=March, etc.
Generally, they skip "I" because it too closely resemble "1" so the months go to M for December.

The second number (or 2 numbers) indicate the year. In 2004, they differentiated between 1994 and 2004 by adding a 'zero'

3=2003
4=1994
04=2004
etc.

(If I could have found Hyacinth's post explaining creeds, I could have posted link to it, but I'm not finding it.)

The current catalogs are probably only given out at the full-price stores, and you have to ask for them. Older catalogs can sometimes be found on Ebay and can be expensive.

Thank you. I bookmarked those pages. I was trying to search by keyword and it didn't work.
