Newer style Coach bags with "Crossbody" in the actual title are almost always small bags. And if it doesn't have a creed patch it's definitely a small bag. The style number also points to it being a small bag that Coach considers an accessory rather than a handbag.

They're not what I would call roomy, but your definition may be different than mine. Forget about fitting most tablets or e-readers into one though.

really? I have the samsung 7.0 even that wont fit? and like my school notebook (actual spiral, letter size) If its like that then no. I am looking for a new bag for that purpose because my MK hamilton is sometimes so heavy on its own that I wanted something more lightweight with top zipper so i can use in bad weather.

Do as BeenBurned often suggests and cut out a piece of paper the same size as the measurements, then try "fitting" all your regular stuff in it. Remember to allow for the top opening being shorter than the actual length measurement especially if it has a top zipper. A letter-size spiral notebook is about 8 1/2 by 11 inches or maybe a bit smaller, but a smaller 6 by 9 inch "steno" notebook would fit (does anyone still call them steno notebooks?)

I have NO idea how big your Samsung is so you'll have to do the measuring. But I've tried several Crossbodys and they were always too small for me - and I wasn't even trying to carry any personal electronics other than my phone. Coach bags always seem smaller inside than they look for some reason. They're the Anti-TARDIS of handbags.

Moved to Etsy and left ebay? Although that's what it sounds like she's saying, she still has 286 listings on ebay, 200 of which are handbags:

It shouldn't be a letter, it should be a number which would make it a 2. The experts will know if its the real deal.

There's a lot more wrong with that than the misshapen "2". "Puffy" creed, too-big gaps between words, the borders around the Coach logo are too thick, the stamp is in the wrong place, and even if the number 2 was right, it still would never have been made at the B plant.

From now on, please ask here before you bid.

You're welcome! I'm pretty surprised at how many of these old bags are in new condition. I've gotten a few too. Congratulations! She's beautiful!

Thanks, I'm so jaded now..if I see a creed that looks too fresh I'm pulling the bag apart to look for anything that may be off..and of course it was one of those nights..3 minutes left on an ebay auction..loads of chardonnay..
Lately, I've been getting some really nasty bags that take forever to rehab, so what a nice surprise..and I had to tell hubby that" yes, you were right,I'm getting crazed..." In all honesty, spending time on TPF.. plus seeing all the fake bags on etsy ebay goodwill etc. really makes me question my own judgement. I have rehabbed at least 100 bags in the past couple years & I have not had any problems. Lately, I'm questioning whether there are MORE Fakes out there ? It definitely makes me nervous lately..I would feel soooo horrible if I made a mistake & listed a knock off...OMG!! Thank you Dolly, Time to eat!! SHERI

And this one...also from Goodwill.
Approx. 10.5”w x 7”h x 1.5”d Strap drop 8”
Apparently not original hangtag...it's on a nickel chain and the leather is different...also too small, I think.
Is this a 2007 Bleeker Tattersall Leather Hobo #11415...or other name?
Any info is always appreciated...thanks again in advance!

Both look good!

You either have a great Goodwill store, go there constantly or know someone who's nice enough to put possible goodies aside!

Thanks, BeenBurned...I'm right in the middle of 3 regular Goodwills, one Goodwill Clearance Center (where items are up to 50% off regular Goodwill tag prices) and 2 Goodwill Bargain Barns (where bags are $1, shoes & boots $1.50 and clothes $1.33/lb. Books, brick a brack and furniture at crazy cheap prices too). I've probably snagged a dozen or so $1 Coaches over the years. Employees are NOT allowed to put items aside...even for regular customers. I've noticed lately though, if a bag doesn't have a hangtag, they are often missed and marked cheap and quite a few Coach accessories have slipped through for $1.99 to $3.99...YAY!
