I can't help, but I'm not getting a good vibe from the first bag. Does the lining look like it hasn't been sewn in correctly?

BTW, according to what I saw posted here a while back, Cashin Coach bags can't be given a bath, it will cause damage.

I think that is probably true for any bag with a lining or more than one color. If it were something really worth restoring, I guess you could remove the lining, wash the purse and lining, and then put them back together.
I think that lining on the first bag just looks messed up because it has been folded the wrong way.

DemRam thanks for posting. I am at work.

You're probably right, I never really looked closely at the Cashin bags - sorry if I created a panic!

I don't think I'd risk washing the lining though. I'd worry that it might either fade or shrink since it's cotton, isn't it?

I have 2 authentic Bonnie Cashin bags with the striped lining. Both of them have the lining that "buckles" up and doesn't stick flat to the leather.

I see nothing wrong with the bag.

Thanks, DemRam! I stand corrected.

Do you know if the Cashin bags can be given a "Coach bath"? I thought someone posted here about a year ago that they shouldn't be washed.

Probably. I think that if you use vinegar or lemon you might be able to make it colorfast but I don't know if I would risk it. I don't think it would shrink if you used cold water and didn't use the dryer. I think that it would probably fade but that might be preferable to a bunch of dirt.

Just saw these two very interesting bags listed on ebay. Any information about them would be appreciated.

I don't doubt that they are both Legitimate Bonnie Cashin designs. I don't know the "names" but I wouldn't hesitate to bid.

ETA: These are not mine.

Ah!! This is one time that I can answer a question that Hyacinth and DemRam can't on an older bag.

The first bag is absolutely an authentic Cashin bag. I actually had the identical bag with the tag included. Here are some pictures showing the lining, the black Coach plaque, the tag (both sides) and the paperwork for the harness leather.

Cool! Another set of photos for the collection.

Hi everyone,

I need your help to ID these two bags which I bought years ago directly from Coach stores. I would like to know their names and the year they are made.

FYI, the red and white bag is made of cream suede and red patent trimmings. The date code is K33-9277. As for the monogramed bag, the date code is J0768-11437.

Pls view the photos here.

Wow, yours looks so nice! Thanks for posting the pictures!

I've never tried a bath on a Cashin lined bag, but I don't think I would risk it. If there is absolutely no other way to salvage it I probably would try what "whateve" suggests and just cross my fingers that the lining doesn't bleed on the leather or shrink and fade.

I note that the striped lining on both of my bags will pull part way out of the bag from the bottom, but only part way. The top portion of the lining seems to be adhered to the inside leather.

Love BeenBurned's perfect bag.

I have the twin. I think we got them from the same seller a few years back.

No, just that it sold for about $228 in 1993.

As always, thank you Hyacinth for your expertise.

On mine, the sides are glued down. My bet is the glue deteriorated over time. I will post photos once I get my ancient Dell rebooted.
