I found this exact same bag from a local woman who bought stuff directly from Coach way back in the day. Ive got the bag stored away, so could only find old photos I took this past summer. The lot of items you see are all the things I bought from her and include several unconventional old NYC bags with unusual strap detailing that may have been predecessors to later models? She had an amazing collection of old Coach plus vintage
Gucci, etc. She was a true kindred soul LOL. But anyway, I hope seeing another bag like this confirms its authenticity somewhat. If more photos are needed I'll dig out the bag from wherever I stored her.
Here's a shot cropped in on this bag:
Here's the lot I bought from her with similarly aged bags alongside it. Includes an older pocket style purse but with a grommet strap attachment instead of the traditional. All are NYC era except for the Coach planner and the Broadway I think
