My tag picture was taken before I knew how to take pictures so it's very blurry but the abbreviation looks like HML:

Let me apologize in advance because the picture will make you dizzy!

I don't think Coach themselves know what to call it, it's Hamptons Suede Small Hobo in their Fall 2005 catalog.

Sounds about as accurate as their employees' authentication attempts. :graucho:

Hi Everyone!

Thanks to Hyacinth's well written and informative posts I believe I have identified one of my "mystery" Coach bags as a Dakota bag. I am unsure about a few others - I am grateful for any help! Thank you in advance!

1. Here's the Dakota: http://vintagelovegirl.blogspot.com/2011/09/blue-and-brown-coach.html

2. An older tan Coach purse:

3. A small Coach that I can't identify:

4. And one more brown with white trim :

Thank you!

I'm glad to hear you found something useful in my posts. Was it a post here, or was it the Ebay Guide I wrote for Salearea about Italain-made Coaches? If you find it helpful, be sure to vote at the bottom of the Guide:
http://reviews.ebay.com/Coach-Italy-Guide-Coach-Italian-Made-Bags_W0QQugidZ10000000051492233

Actually, the first one is a Sheridan, you can tell because the Dakotas didn't use turnlocks, and the leather grain on Sheridans is more rounded while on the Dakotas it actually looks square. Photos of both are posted below. It's style # 4225, a Sheridan Glenwood.

I'm not really sure about the second. It's probably from the East-West line from around 1999-2000 but that exact style isn't in any of my catalogs. My best guess would be an East-West Slim Zip but again that's just a wild guess. You might try calling Coach and giving them the 4-digit style number, they may still have it on file.

Third is a Sonoma Small Zip Bag, Natural grain from 1995. The striped lining, pebbled leather, style number starting with 49xx and sloppy creed stitching almost always belong to Sonomas.

The last one is a Fortune Cookie Bag from 2000.

Wow Hyacinth,

Thank you so much for identifying my bags! I will call Coach on the one and see if they can ID it for me. This is all so interesting!! Thank you also for the picture IDs of the Sheridan and Dakota. I could not find a Sheridan anywhere on line so I assumed mine was a Dakota prior to your answer.

I actually found one of the posts on here that you wrote helpful with the Sheridan that I thought was a Dakota. BUT, I did read four of the articles that you wrote for Salearea. I will be sure to vote on them all as they are all very well written and informative!

Question for you: I believe the more informed we can be both as buyers and sellers of Coach hand bags the more armed we are with educated choices (obviously you believe that too :).
Is it okay for me to share your articles with potential buyers on any of my future Coach listings? I know I have made mistakes before and I'd like to know as much as I can before either buying or selling a particular piece. If I'm selling I'd rather arm my potential buyers with all the good information that I can so that they can make good decisions, whether they buy from me or anyone else. .. If its okay with you and good selling protocol to share your links I'd love to spread the word ~ and hopefully it helps you too! .. Just let me know:)

Thanks again Hyacinth!

Thanks, I'll add that information to my files - and can I add the photo you posted of the bag to my photo files?

At least I was close - two out of three words isn't bad! :D
