I have a photo but no name, sorry. Probably some kind of Hamptons or Legacy West Small Hobo? It's about 7x6 inches. Maybe it's a Made For Factory style. The 3 other Q plant bags from 2003 in my files all have outlet stamps.
Thank you...i thought it might have had Legacy in it somewhere...it does have a bullet mark.
It has what looks like Legacy/Legacy East/Legacy West buckles, but most of those Legacy lines would have been made roughly 2 years before that one, so the outlet stamp seems to point to it having been MFF.

So, I think this may be a pretty special Chunky Case. The stamp on the front reads "The Seattle Daily Times" and after some research I found that the newspaper went by that name until 1966. The leather has the same hand/feel as the old 70's NYC and Bonnie Cashin era bags. For some reason (idk if I read it somewhere or just made it up) I thought the that blue and white cotton ticking was only produced in the 80's and 90's. Any vintage coach historians out there want to chime in?
These were made at least from the early 80s through the 90s and possibly in the early 2000s. I don't have any documentation to prove these were made earlier than that. Some have creeds and others don't. I believe the earlier versions didn't have creeds, but I don't have absolute proof of that.
Coach offered a customization service. Companies would buy a batch of items, either as employee gifts or promotional giveaways, and they could be customized with the company's logo.
The leather on your item doesn't look like the leather Coach used in the 60s or early 70s. I found another source that shows the name "the Seattle Daily Times" (https://seattletimes.newsbank.com/search?text=1984&pub[0]=127D718D1E33F961) was used through 1984, so I suspect yours was made in early 80s as a customization for the newspaper.
What style number? Can you post a picture of the creed of your bag? They have used the name Carly a few times, I believe.
It was made in 2008 for factory stores. There might have been an earlier version made for boutiques.
