I agree! When I saw the photo the first thing I thought of was of the Italian Madison bags and Gracie. The size, shape, and turnlock look correct and even the shape and stitching on the top handle!

I want a Biltmore or Gracie!

I know that you like small bags but the Gracie is tiny! I carry it only when I want "just the essentials"! My Gracie was missing the strap so I substituted a Coach chain strap and it works for me, but it's my understanding that the original Gracie strap is very, very long - but I don't know if it can be doubled? The under flap snap fasteners only allow you to shorten the strap about an inch or two.

Thank you, you're completely right. They're bags I should just admire but not have. I'm too short and I have more than enough small bags. The only small bag(s) I currently would add to the family is the Watson or similar. Casual, round and feminine - something I don't currently have in my collection.

can anyone identify this triple zip wallet?

Or it could be PBM, but I still have no idea what it means, or even whether it's English or Italian.

The lining could be a Sonoma leftover. The plant, like any outside the US, had to use what they had available. Most if not all of the production Bridle styles in my files have the Logo lining, which was a fairly recent addition to the Coach lineup.

I agree that it could be PBM as it's similar to the "m" in Camel.

There's no way to authenticate it just from that one photo, but if it's genuine it would be a recent style probably from the last 5 years. The turnlock is definitely NOT vintage. But there's no way anyone should buy it based just on one really bad photo. Maybe someone who's familiar with recent styles can ID it.

Where did you find the photo? Maybe that could help narrow down the search a bit.

i’m not trying to buy the bag, just identify it. sorry for the confusion. it is not for sale.

I moved this over here. So anyhow, I was looking at this post yesterday and the little elastic in the middle just made me think of a pen and how Coach churned out so many planner type pieces. So this morning I was looking through a few catalogs for something else, and my eye was caught by the the little elastic in the middle. We were keeping pens with our checkbooks back in the day. The dimensions look right. Do the other dets fit? From Early Fall 1997 . . .View attachment 5127772

Hello! Can anyone help me identify this vintage Coach bag? I'm thinking it's from the 60s-70s...if it's real? I'm totally new to this, so I would love some guidance! It's tan and the outside has a soft almost velvety texture. The bag definitely smells of leather. No other identifying information except the Coach stamp on the inside

You didn't provide any measurements. It is most likely 9205 saddle bag small, made in the mid 1970s. They made several styles in suede, like yours, but the suede versions are much harder to find. As far as I know, the suede versions didn't have different style numbers at the time this bag was made.

Apologies for not providing measurements! Approximately - 9in(W) X 3in(D) X 7in (H). Thanks so much for your response! That's very helpful.
