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!

The Cashin Foundation information was for an authentication they did for my bag - which is identical to yours - except mine has the striped lining.

Just a guess, but since yours has the "I. Magnin" label, maybe I.Magnin wanted a different lining in the bags Coach made for them. I can only assume the bags were *probably* made around the same time period.

Thanks again!

You're welcome. I meant to add that the bag came in 12 colors and the retail price back then was $15.

I grabbed this the other day - love it! But now I'm seriously debating it's authenticity because I can't ID it! And there is no serial number... Everything else seems to check in though. Excellent quality stitching, leather, lining, sturdy zippers... Made in China, not Korea.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

Welcome to tPF.

Sorry but it's fake. Note that the creed states that it's made in US, a contradiction to the tag you saw.

There's no Coach style that is even remotely similar to this fake.

Whoever or whatever store sold this to you owes you a refund since it's illegal to sell fakes.

In the future, please post authenticity questions in the following thread. See post #1 for the requested format which is useful in searches for seller IDs, websites or item numbers. http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-694619.html#post19464109

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.

Wow! You are an amazing woman!

Thanks - my DH says "obsessive" and I say "anal-retentive"

I never saw this bag before and yours (I'm assuming) is gorgeous. I remember the I. Magnin clothing stores. These were around when I was a teenager. I lived to go browse those stores. The sales ladies were always very polite and accommodating. This was where the exquisite ladies shopped and I felt it was treat to go in and look around. Now you have a purse from that era! How fortunate.

I'm glad it was identified. I know what's going on my wish list.

Unfortunately, it isn't mine yet. I'm thinking about purchasing it. I think it would be perfect to carry on my wedding day...which is a ways off lol...and then give it to my daughter someday.

I bought it for 15.50 on Ebay and when it came it had some stains, but they came out. I went through this checklist on how to spot a fake, and the purse is genuine. What I am curious is what line this came from and what year it was made, and the official name of the purse. It is a cream color, with a strap and buckle down the middle, has chocolate fabric on the interior, with a cream colored leather Coach creed patch. Above the creed is a pouch for change, with a ykk zipper. The serial number is J3K-6376. Any help would be appreciated.

It's a Soho Mini Signature Duffle from 2003.

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.

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

Just to let you know, I’ve posted rehab pics of the Saddle Pouch, she came out very nicely – but it wasn’t easy! Here’s the link:
