Item: Parker Small Flap 13417 (Snakeskin, Italy 2008)
Seller: Shop Housing Works
Link: http://www.shophousingworks.com/lot.cfm?lotID=96241

Comments: I just bid $148 (and won!) this totally impractical, tiny bag that I don't need and won't have much chance to wear, but I really fell for it! It's just so pretty and unusual!

I haven't paid for it yet but I can't imagine that it is fake because it so intricate and detailed - just take a look at all the different metal beads on that strap! But I can't find out anything about it.

I have searched online and studied all the Parkers that I could find on the Wayback Machine but I can't find this bag. The closest thing I have found is the Parker Small Flap 13462 in Rosegold leather.

The creed says that it is snake (and it appears to be an exotic) but it doesn't look like other Coach snakeskin bags that I have seen. But I found similar pattern bags from different brands online and they were made of Karung snake. I am wondering if it was an Asian Coach exclusive or something like that?

Please give me your opinions on authenticity and let me know if you have any information about this bag. And I would really like to know how much it originally cost when it was released back in 2009. Thanks for your help!

That's gorgeous and authentic but I have no idea of the name or original price.

It looks like a similar style to the Parker Small Flap that I found on the Wayback Machine but more exotic.

I couldn't get the Wayback Machine to pull anything up. I tried to find it in 2008 because it appears your back is a little older than the one you found.

I'm guessing yours was originally considerably more expensive because the exotics were pricey. I had an exotic mini wallet (trifold style 6A10) that I bought in 2005 for $328. A comparable leather version was about 1/2 that price.

Sweet! Here's the circa '05 red gold laser etched Mont Blanc pen it came with. Yes folks, sometimes it does pay to dig thru that pile of grubby luggage & tote bags at ye olde thrift shoppe! Now to go shower in handcleaner.... :p

Nice pen!!! I think you win for the best "bonus" found in a vintage bag - I usually only get bobby pins, old church programs, gum wrappers and the occasional dime or nickel stuck in the seam. :greengrin:

Can you help authenticate this bag:

Coach 9060 in mahoghany
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/111098626256?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The creed again is off-center and very hard to read with the serial number JHM-9060, made in the "___ States"

Some differences with the other 9060 I posted (in camel):
- the strap is narrower, 1 inch instead of 1.25 inches
- the leather is not as thick, but still reasonable quality
- the stitching is fairly even except for on the zipper pull (which does not say Coach on it)

I cannot yet post my own photos.
Thanks again for the help.
