It's genuine, but since it's a smaller bag like a Pouch or Demi and doesn't have a serial number, I can't look up the style code to find the name. My guess is that it was made some time between 2002 and 2005.

I tried to get clear pics but can't find my good camera, I found a bag like this one on eBay, just a different color. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coa...337996&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&#ht_500wt_922
I wasn't sure how accurate that info was. Thanks for any and all help.

The information in the other listing from " zemmiasdiscoveries " isn't right. It's NOT vintage since it was just made in 1999 and it has NOTHING to do with Bonnie Cashin who had been gone from Coach for 25 years when that bag was made. The serial number in the other seller's bag isn't clear but a part of the creed statement is and that creed wording was only used after 1994, so the nonsense about it having been bought at Nordies in the 70's is complete BS. The ONLY style it can be is the 1999 tote. It may look banged-up up enough to have been made 40 years ago but it wasn't.

The retro Pillow Ticking Stripe linings were only made for a very few bags in 1999 called Greenwich Bags and AFAIK only included a Tote style 6135 and a Satchel 6137 (I've never seen any 6136 but it's possible). The lining is a copy of one that Coach had used for small accessories like cosmetic bags back in the 1980s, and that they brought back a few years ago for another retro Cashin graphics line. So yours is genuine, and definitely rare (I've never even found it in a catalog so it must have been made for only a short time) but not vintage or Cashin. And I've never found the exact name so "Greenwich Tote" is the best I can come up with.

Thank you so much Hyacinth! You are awesome :) I figured the eBay info was bogus, but that was the only other bag I could find like mine. At first I was worried I had been duped, but for less than fifteen bucks I wasn't going to be too upset. I'm so thrilled its authentic, made in the USA, and rare to boot! Mine is in much, much better condition than the one listed on eBay. No stains, fading, or tears and the interior is super clean. It's a heavy twill and seems like it will be really durable. So I am one happy girl :D I love my new "Greenwich tote"!
