Hey I would love some help as my searches are coming up close, but not the one. I got it from the flee market. Any information or clues would be much appreciated.

It's authentic. I believe it is a letter brief, made in the early 90s.

Thank you I will dig deeper the name really helps. Thanks again I appreciate it.
Hi! I moved this over here so we don’t clog up the AT thread. This bag was made prior to 1990 and it had a buckle closure with roughly the same measurements so that may have been coming up in your searches. Changing the hardware can definitely create confusion when researching the style.
I have one with a buckle closure that I believe is NYC. I wonder if it was discontinued for a year or two then reintroduced with the turn lock.

Eta, see the post below :smile:

Is this one still up for grabs? It's definitely a Letter Brief, unless the catalog is wrong.

ETA - I see what caused the confusion - 2 DIFFERENT Letter Briefs. Below is the 1987 Letter Brief from the Holiday 1987 catalog, style 5210. The one posted above it is the 5270 Letter Brief from the Holiday 1990 catalog. So Coach used the same name for 2 different styles just 3 years apart. A reminder why names can't be depended on because Coach reuses them just to confuse us and see if we're paying attention :biggrin:

Way to go, Coach !!!

Wow these are gorgeous. The original owner loved some exotics. The burgundy calf hair though? Stunning.
I found a similar bag on eBay but unfortunately I can’t view any of the pics in the product description https://ebay.us/m/bo9IgB

I don't have catalog pictures of any of these but I can identify #D as Legacy soft slim suede duffle, made in 2004. Since I only have a catalog for the leather version, I'm guessing at the exact name.

My Husband's uncle's wife pulled out these bags from storage. Can anyone ID these styles for me? They are from the mid 2000s.
Some of them are still brand new.

Thanks in advance! If more photos are needed, please let me know.
Each bag is lettered to make it easier to reply.

I have "F" in Fawn leather #9480 - I think it's a Soho Shoulder or Duffle Bag
