Item: Tan saddle bag
Seller: Savers Thrift Store $5

Comments: This is a repeat request, I'm afraid. I previously had this bag authenticated but I have misplaced the information, and it was during the period when TPF went down and a lot of posts were lost.

The bag was genuine and I believe that Hyacinth or DemRam told me that it was called a "Saddle Bag" and that it was made in the 70s or 80s? I would greatly appreciate it, if you could tell me the style number and confirm/correct my memory of the information. Thanks so much!

It's a Saddle Pouch but I'm not sure which one it is without measurements:
9585- Saddle Pouch Large, 10 1/2 x 8 x 2
9590- Saddle Pouch Standard 9 x 7 x 1 1/2

It's probably from some time between the late 1970s to about 1987.

Thank you (again!) It is the standard size. It is a "Made in New York City U.S.A." bag, does that narrow down the date of manufacture at all?

The rehab on this one is coming along well, I think she is going to look nice!

I can't wait to see her! I love that bag....I went on my normal run of my thrift/vintage stores today but couldn't find anything I had to have : (

No, I took the "Made in NYC" stamp into account when I estimated the date. Coach stopped using that stamp some time around 1988. The only thing that would narrow it down more would be to figure out which years each size was available. Coach's 1976 catalog shows a "Saddle Pouch Large" so there must have been a smaller version available but it's not listed, and the 1989 catalog only lists the Large version. The Made in NYC stamp probably wouldn't have been used much earlier than 1975 or 1976. There are no public records of when Coach started using various stamps so everything is just a guesstimate based on the stamps inside bags with known limited production periods.
 
I received the following information from the Bonnie Cashin Foundation:

If the measurements are approximately 8 1/2 High x 6 Wide x 4 Deep, the official name is "Double Entry small", designed by Bonnie Cashin in 1967.

:smile1:

Thanks DemRam! Those are the measurements. I have seen this same bag but with the legacy lining. Did the legacy lining come before or after this bag in 1967?

Thanks!
