Thank you, Lake effect! Yes, I agree it wouldn't be from the 70s.
I often wonder why more vintage
Coach bags don't smell like smoke given it was so popular for anyone to smoke back then. Like your nana.
The name card (seating card?) that came with the bag was from a restaurant that no longer exists in NYC. Maybe this was last used at a wedding reception or a party. I love how it said 'Mr & Mrs xxx' and that card was kept inside this bag for decades.
Don't we love thinking about the life these bags have taken before coming to us?
