bigben52582 is not a seller who I would do business with. Seller is known to steal pictures from other sellers and other websites. There are several posts here with reference to the seller's long photo-theft history.

In the listing you've asked about, there's no way to determine what you'll receive because the only photo is a stock picture stolen from Coach.

In many other listings, the seller's pictures are stolen from various Japanese websites as well as Amazon. (After having several ebay sellers report stolen pictures, bigben52582 no longer steals photos from ebay sellers.)

The 2nd one I know it as a Signature Convertible Demi Pouch/Clutch.
The 3rd is a Canvas Legacy Small Tote (all I know).

Congratulations they're cute! :)

The only information I have for style number 4177 is for a "Flatiron Hobo".

The only other information I have is that the Flatiron Collection was introduced in 1997 and 1998. Plus, I think they were fabric lined bags. (I could be wrong).

That bag pictured has a year indicated of 2003 which seems wrong.

Hyacinth needs to look at that bag. I'm clueless.

DEAR Dem-Ram,
THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION, I WILL TRY TO INVESTIGATE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE NAME YOU PROVIDED. THE INTERIOR OF THIS PURSE IS LEATHER. GLOVED LEATHER ON THE BACK & SUEDE ON FRONT.

I WILL ALSO TRY TO CONTACT HYANCITH TO SEE IF SHE CAN GIVE US MORE INFORMATION.

REGARDING THE YEAR NUMBER I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS A 3,8,9.

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP, HAVE A NICE DAY! :)

I agree with Dem Ram. Style number 4177 belongs to a Flatiron Hobo.

There were only a few different Flatiron styles made but they all had a unique strap arrangement. Photos of the 4177 Flatiron Hobo and the 4174 Flatiron Zip are posted below.

Bags starting with 41- are usually Sohos or Soho Lightweights and would have thinner leather than the bag in your photos. The Flatirons were fairly rare and came out somwhere around 1997. I doubt very much if they still would have been made in 2003. The strap hardware on the Saddle-style bag wouldn't have been used on any Sohos.

Sorry, I think your bag is one of those very accurate fakes that gets everything right but the serial numbers.

EDITED TO ADD - Take a look at this auction, it's for a different Flatiron bag but it also has a scan of Coach's own catalog page for the Flatirons Flap 4173 and Hobo 4177 - no pic of the Hobo unfortunately:
