Hello, just wondering about the bag in this listing, I am not interested in buying just curious.

The listing claims to be for a Bonnie Cashin swing bag, that has no label, name, nothing.... seller shows the hardware as "proof". I have never seen a swing bag with straps endings like that either, but I am not an expert, that is why I come here. No hurry... as I said only curious

Did Cashin ever use all-white linings? I've never seen that before.

And that's a seller who either believes the BS in some "guides" or expects her buyers to believe it even if she doesn't. There's a lot ofuseless advice that the "B" on the hinge of that type of metal frame on vintage bags means that the B proves it's a Bonnie Cashin (note the close-up of the B mark in the 7th photo). COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULL-SHYTE! The B stands for the hardware manufacturer, which was BRANSON. It has absolutely nothing to do with Bonnie Cashin.

Use caution buying from Ebay seller " bijoupie ", s/he doesn't understand common manufacturer trademarks in vintage items.

ETA - Here's what I mean, for anyone who hasn't heard that "proof" or seen that hardware mark before. Click on the thumbnail of the first photo to enlarge.

I saw this listing earlier but didn't examine it closely. I suspect the straps wore out in parts and someone got the bright idea to cut them down and retie them. The versions I've seen of this bag are 60s versions with fabric lining and the 70s all leather versions. In the all leather version, I've never seen two tone. The 60s swing bags I've owned didn't have piping. The all leather versions with piping weren't constructed like the bag in the listing. The piping went all the way up to the metal, rather than tapering into the seam. Here is an example: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-1960s-Bonnie-Cashin-Swing-Bag-5ac27d412c705da094ffa78e

In my opinion, it can't be called Bonnie Cashin or Coach without a label, and it is doubtful it was made by Coach due to the construction differences.

Thank you both, you confirmed my suspicion that this seller just "embellished" her listing with details that are not true. In the past we had (a couple) examples of bags that were unknown to most of us, so coming here was the next step after I couldn't find anything similar on my own.

It was a gift with purchase if spend over $x, it wasn't available for individual sale. It was just called turnlock pouch (in garden print.) The style# is C3649G and there are a few on the resale sites.

I just bought this today from a thrift store. Would appreciate any feed back if this is authentic or not

Hello! I’m hoping for some help in ID’ing this little purse. It doesn’t have a creed, just a black made in China tag. It’s about 9” x 5”. Thanks!

I recently picked up catalogs from the mid, late '00s. One of them, that does appear to be from '08, SC108 (I have to figure out, the non-vintage catalogs have a code, I see find print on the last page, prices valid though 12/08) has photos of what appears to be this style, Violet Clutch #12450.

eta- I need to dial that back, your bag appears to have a front pocket that is split, different side details and does not have Coach imprinted on the turnlock; as I look at the Violet Clutch, it does not have a split front pocket! Will continue to look through what I have!

There is an eBay listing for a Violet Clutch by style number; it's dimensions are larger than yours, leading me to believe yours is the little sister wristlet style to this. The enormous Lindsay Shopper has the same split pocket. So it was likely from or inspired from this line of bags. I can take pics later of these pages, to give you some clues.

If you go to the Clubhouse Forum, there may some posting on this style from back in that day! I have found info on some oldies but goodies that way. A search of the Violet Clutch and Lindsay Shopper may bring you to a post of someone who went for the wristlet along with one of those styles, and may have listed its catalog name.

You should be posting in the Authenticate This Coach thread in the Coach Shopping forum. But to save time, it's a genuine Chelsea Signature Duffle made in 2009.

Ok, thank you!! I will do some searching in the clubhouse forum. I appreciate your taking the time!
