Another bag found in the wild, not familiar with the style & have not been able to find another, so am wondering if it's authentic (hoping.. because I likee ):

Brown Bucket type Shoulder Bag
Lined, 11" h x 12" w
Sewn in Creed Patch, "Handcrafted in the United States", #J8D-9079
In my possession

Authenticity, Identity and any other juicy info vastly appreciated ;)

It's a genuine Classic Shoulder Bag, probably late 1970s.

Thank you so much. But since I'm a newbie at this...is it an authentic Bonnie Cashin bag? Or just a regular Coach Classic Shoulder Bag?

Looks authentic. It's a Large Tribeca Hobo from 1998 :smile1:

If you mean "Was it designed by BC, or made while she was with Coach?"

1- I don't know, it's possible. But even if it was originally designed while she worked for Coach, it may not be one of her designs.
and
2- I doubt it, from what I've heard so far a Cashin-era bag wouldn't have a creed and serial number. Probably at least 90 percent of Coaches that are described as "Bonnie Cashin" have little or nothing to do with her aside from maybe one or two design details. Authentic Bonnie Cashin bags will usually have her unique lining inside, or a small tag with her name. The "Bonnie Cashin" description on most listings is inaccurate and often deceptive.

Hi again ladies, this is another front kisslock slim tote. Does the creed patch in this one - one of the last images given - seem odd. The number is stuck on as a separate piece of leather

It's an authentic Skinny Tote. Coach used glued on serial numbers before they actually stamped the numbers under the creed - which probably dates the bag to the later 1970's. (My guess).

That strip does look a little "odd" and seems to be barely hanging on - though I've seen others that fell off over time.

The Skinny Tote is a Bonnie Cashin design, though Coach made a few changes to her original design after she left the company. (Longer straps, etc).

:smile1:
