Hello all! Does anyone know anything about this little gem? She measures 4 x 6 x 1.5” at the spine. I’m guessing early 2000’s? It’s embossed and seems to be lined with vachetta. Any help is appreciated!

Nice! It might be an Italian made python snakeskin item from around 2000, see the post below from @Hyacinth.

I have a python coin purse (see picture below) that may be from the same line.

but on that note…..here’s mine!:wave::drinks:
 
Hello all! I have this Bridle bag with no serial so I’m unsure of it’s name or style number. It looks like the satchel but has a detachable strap as well. This one has 10” handles and measures 10 x 7.5 x 3ish. Any help is greatly appreciated!

There are some "missing" style numbers in the sequence Coach used for the Bridle Bag line that I've never found any record of, this may be one of them. I've also never seen that kind of removable strap attachment using rings in a Bridle Bag before. All the others with long straps have them either permanently mounted on the sides or attached under the flap.

It's probably genuine but that's all I can tell you, other than don't try to re-sell it or you may have a buyer screaming "fake" when they can't find it anywhere. If anyone has a catalog photo of that style, please post it here.

BTW, are the top handle straps 10 inches end to end? If they are, I can understand why someone might want a long strap too. That seems like it would be a short and maybe even uncomfortable strap drop if someone wanted to carry it from the shoulder.

One other thing - the creed wording is actually the same as the one used for the Madison line from a few years earlier. If this one is genuine and also from the Italy plant it's not surprising that they would have used whatever creed was appropriate, which could mean it might have been a sample or pilot bag.

The Satchel #6707 is close to the measurements, 1999 Preview Catalog . . .

The satchel is also offered in Holiday ‘98 but the catalog photos are darker. The satchel listing is identical. Nothing else listed comes close to the dimensions.

Ok, in the bright light of day, after some sleep, I see I did not answer the question. The bag I posted does not have the contrast detailing for the material that extends to the straps or used in the side panels, which is really sharp! Those pics are all I got!

ETAaaaaaaa!
Ahhhh daylight. I dismissed this photo from the Holidays ‘98 last night because it was dark. On closer look, check out the handle and side panels,

Yes, that was the only similar style I found, but the straps look longer in the catalog photos than the ones on Busy Kitty's bag, and the production version doesn't have any attachments for a removable strap. I think Kitty's bag was a pre-production version. Coach wouldn't have had two very similar bags in production at the same time. I'm guessing it's a very early version since the Italy plant didn't have a creed stamp with the Bridle line description available yet so they had to use a Madison creed.

Yes, that’s what the strap measures end to end. Also, I’m forgetting what the Bridle bags had for a lining. This one has the striped black lining. A3090442-3CB0-4E73-821D-4EA83E8305F6.jpeg
