Does anyone know what this gorgeous burgundy beauty’s name is? She measures ~ 16x10.5” flat. Thanks in advance!

Are both the front and back outside panels completely identical, including that horizontal seam near the top? And what does the bottom look like, are the front and back panels sewn directly together or is there another thin panel, maybe gussetted, as the base? Is there an inside pocket, and what does it look like?

We really need more pictures.

I’m sorry! The front and back panels are identical and sewn directly together. No inside pocket, just the strip of smooth leather along the top inside on both sides.

It MIGHT be a style 5070 Flat Portfolio from 1985. That's the only year along with maybe 1984 that it was made, and I only have one paper catalog with a picture of it. Unfortunately the picture doesn't help much because they chose a black one to photograph and it's impossible to see any details of the leather so I can't tell if it has that horizontal seam near the top, but the verbal description (or lack of one, "the flattest of all portfolios" is all it says) seems to fit what you have. I doubt if you could fit much more than a few legal-size pads in there. Even today's ultra slim laptops might be a tight fit.

I'm surprised that it came in 6 different colors. Along with black, BT, and your burgundy they also list Mocha, Red and Tabac as color choices. Official retail price was $80.

I've never seen a creed and serial separated like that before either but I can see why they had to do it like that. I hope you don't mind if I keep copies of your photos for my files? :smile:

Would you mind posting a pic of that paper catalog image?
And you are more than welcome to keep my pics for your files. So cool to have something so different. I love anomalies!

Sorry, I don't have a scanner and my cell phone is a Dark Ages version that doesn't have a camera. Your photos are actually much better than the catalog's, Coach's pic looks like a flat rectangular piece of black leather with a zipper on one side.

Hi all! New here!

I'm doing some research on a recent Coach purchase. It's a cosmetic bag. I‘ve seen some listings online as F42348. I see some selling it as a Valentine Scarf Print. Do you know if throughout time Coach typically did a Valentine special edition?

I'm leery to sell mine as this if I'm not absolutely sure. The print isn't something I'd associate with Valentines Day. I do think it's limited but I'm thinking it's a version of Optic Art (like the Resort version).

Just curious if anyone here’s familiar with this print?

Does anyone know anything about this wicked cool belt? I can’t seem to find it in any of my catalogs. It came with a hangtag and on the reverse has a cryptic inscription. I’m assuming the P/S is the size and the 1350 the style number? No idea about the L5 though. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

All I can tell you is that it's genuine, style 1350, but that's all I know. L5 might be a color code but that's just a wild guess.

Found it on the Wayback. It is called Multi-Lozenge Chain Belt. I believe L5 may be the date code (November 2005).
