I am not sure of when the creed stopped having the word "Leatherware" at the top. There is another Quincy on ebay that was made a few months after yours and it doesn't have "Leatherware" in the lozenge. So, I think it is authentic but you should wait for confirmation.


Thank you for your time & advice! Much appreciated! Do I wait for confirmation here? How does that work? Getting my sea-legs...

Whateve is right, hangtags shouldn't be used for authentication because they're often changed or replaced, the word Leatherware was dropped a long while back, and many older serial numbers didn't have hyphens.
 
Please ID and authenticate this bag....

The picture looks like the style is 4908 or 4909...neither of which I could locate.

Thanks for your help as always.


NT-4903 or 4908 or any number beginning with NT has been on the Fakes List since there was a Fakes List.

Item: Vtg 1960 Navy Blue Leather BONNIE CASHIN Shoulder Bag Purse
Listing number:300824744055
Seller: glogbog
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-1960-Na...055?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item460a8d5077
Comments: I am wondering if this is authentic and if so, what is the year? There doesn't seem to be any connection with Coach at all other than the look. I have never seen Cashin's name imprinted on the inside of a purse, but I am new to this.

Any help would be appreciated...

I didn't realize this bag had already been presented here for questioning and I ended up being the buyer on it. I am trying like mad to find out more info on this gal but to no success so far. Having examined it thoroughly It does seem rather old, it smells rather old, and it looks like a Coach bag in so many ways. I wish someone could tell me which Coach body style it looks like since I know there is a bag that has a similar strap /wrap around detail that I personally cannot identify. I posted updated photos in the I>D> thread. http://www.flickr.com/photos/42077302@N07/sets/72157632183683877/ There really is NO OTHER place to go to ask these questions that I can find!!

There are probably at least 3 or 4 styles from Coach with that wrapped-around extra strapping around the outside but I can't think of the styles ATM. None had a similar body design and shape and all of them would have been from at least 15 years after Cashin left Coach. Can't help with the lining either, sorry.
