Thanks so much!! I was concerned because there was no tag inside! The measurements are approximately 12x8. Does that classify it as a large size? Would I be able to find links to refurbish this in coach rescue/ rehab? :smile:
It doesn't have a red white and blue tag inside because it was made before they began using them, around 1985. The Small Equestrian measures about 10" x 6.5", and the Large Equestrian about 11.5" x 7.5". Yours has the original "double buckle" strap which can be adjusted on both sides. Later models have a strap with only one buckle.

Coincidentally, I have the same bag in blue, and I posted my rehab story on the Coach Rehab thread:

Hello! I have a bag I feel pretty good about but would love some confirmation, as well as finding out the name/style of the bag. Is there a name for this print on the bag? Thank you so much!
