Thank you for the recommend! And good eye noting the pebbling! The feel of the leather on this bag is particularly interesting to me as it is so similar to the leather on my 1970s era Bonnie Cashin for Meyers turn lock bag: which has that same mild pebbling quality in places. Also this bag has a sort of flat design buckle just like my Cashin for Meyers bag has, as opposed to having that little curved "dip" a lot of
Coach bag buckles have. It's like the two bags form a snapshot into a particular era of the Cashin/Coach aesthetic. Hyacinth said my bag was prob made between 1977-1987. I always wanted a brown or tan Stewardess because I love the one Jill Clayburgh carries in the 1978 film An Unmarried Woman but this bag will do just fine because I am determined to bring out her beauty! Hah! I've even dubbed this bag "Jill" in honor of Clayburgh (that's some major crazy bag lady talk I know but I love naming my bags sometimes

). I tend to get bags that are more gently used so this will be my most ambitious rehab to date.
