Hi Everyone,

I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to IDing Coach items yet, especially when it comes to older pieces, so I need a little help! :) I recently inherited a Coach purse from my adopted mother. It was her first Coach purse and she couldn't remember what it was called or when she bought it, just that she had owned it for a long time. My camera battery is currently dead, so until it is recharged, I will do my best to describe it.

It's a relatively small, all black leather, cross body purse. It has a top handle and the long cross-body strap is adjustable. It has brass hardware and a turn lock on the flap closure. Leather Coach tag is attached. When you open the flap there is a small front pocket and then the large main body of the purse. Inside the main body pocket of the purse is lined with black suede in beautiful condition and there is a thin back pocket that the Coach Creed is stamped into.

It reads: "This is a Coach bag. It was hand crafted in Costa Rica of completely natural glove-tanned cowhide. The variations in the grain are characteristic of natural full-grain leather."
The serial number is: No G9 P-5130

I haven't had a ton of time to scour ebay yet, but the closest thing I could find thus far was a Bonnie Cashin. I'm fairly positive it's not that though, because there is not a pocket on the back of the outside of the purse.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to lend! ^_^

Descriptions are good, but Pictures are the ultimate identifier. I assume you had it authenticated already?

Thanks for your reply. I'm planning to attach photos once my camera battery is finished recharging. I haven't had it authenticated yet, because I just received it from my adopted Mom yesterday. She says she bought it in a Coach store though, she just doesn't remember the year. Once I get pictures, I will have it authenticated though. I'm not planning on selling it by any means, I just want to learn more about it. I could post of picture of something it looks almost exactly like until I'm able to upload my own photos? I didn't want to do that right off the bat though, because I wasn't sure if it was allowed.

Camera is charged! Here are the photos of the purse to match the description I gave earlier. It's pretty ordinary to me, but the leather is in great condition, as is the suede. Just some minor wear to the turn lock and such. Thanks again!

Does anyone know what type of product this dustbag goes to? I found two dustbags at a rummage sale for 30 cents each. This one is much smaller than I am used to seeing. I bought it because I thought it might work for a wallet or something, or I might come across a small leather item in a thrift store that it would be perfect for. I know you can't tell me the specific item that this belongs to, but I thought you might know if it's meant for top handle pouches or something. The dimensions are approximately 8 1/2" x 11 1/2".

It's one of the Coach Classics...It's the Coach "Station Bag" (Slim Pouch) and yours is from 1999.

It looks good to me
