Hi! Can someone help me ID this french wallet? I bought this years ago at a coach factory store. I looked through the wallet thread and tried a search but couldn't figure it out. Thanks in advance for your help!
They made several similar styles but I think this one was called a Piped Polished French Purse With Frame. It's shown in the Spring 2004 catalog as style 7850 for $188, and the color is probably Hibiscus.
Cool! Another set of photos for the collection.
Sorry it took so long but my imaging software got messed up with some update:

Thanks, Noshoepolish! Love the 1966 Handbag Design Award medals too!
I purchased this bag secondhand (this is not my picture, it's the result of my googling the serial number). Hoping you guys can tell me what kind of bag it is! Thanks!

If you could post the serial number you Googled it would make things easier.
But we cant tell you if YOUR bag is genuine without photos of it. Many Coach styles have been very well faked.
It looks like a Heritage Stripe Coated Canvas style possibly made for the Factory Stores. Those names aren't available on Coach's website. If you still have the price tag please post a photo of it.
Hello everyone! It's been a really long time since I've been around. I had 2 babies in one year and all my time/money goes towards them and working. Anyhow, I was in Spain last month and stumbled upon a little boutique inside a Corte Ingles store (think Macy's but better and bigger). Coach is a relatively new brand there and when I told the sa that I have a collection he got all excited. He "made me" buy (I have to blame someone!!!) a bag which he described as a limited edition. It's an embossed crocodile, a round satchel with a little lock in front. Kinda looks like a Kristin or Madison collection, (the Erin particularly) but I have no idea which it is. He removed all the tags and everything (gasp, I know!! the kids were crying and my attention was elsewhere). I haven't been able to find a picture online and don't have one with me. I got it with a 50% discount, plus the 10% discount they give tourists and the 18% tax they return when you exit Spain, less than 400 american. I got it in brown but it was also available in beige. It's a stunning bag, beautiful leather. Any ideas which bag it is???
Hi there! New to PurseForums, and new to collecting vintage/classic Coach! I acquired a black Willis bag from a friend and was hooked. Even more so after I gave it a good polish and conditioning 
Anyway, here's the reason for this post. I recently found a mini flap-front shoulder bag at Goodwill. I believe it to be vintage, but I haven't had any luck ID'ing it via the Google.
First, description:
- black leather
- 5"h x 7"w x 2"d, strap drop 20" (all measurements approximate)
- one of the spring-clips for the strap has a tiny anchor embossed on it (see photos; I don't know if this means anything or not)
- there's an asymmetric organizational pocket on the front of the bag, under the flap
- interior has a built-in pinch-close change purse, and the creed/serial# are inside this (again, see photos - it's kind of hard to describe); there are no zippers anywhere on the purse
- serial# 966-7712 (no luck Googling that, either)
The photos I've posted below are "befores." It's a little beat up, but it looks SO MUCH BETTER now that I've polished & conditioned it. I'll post the transformation over in the other thread. It's definitely well-worn, but now that it's been cleaned up it looks quite respectable
Any help in identifying this piece is much appreciated! Thanks, all!
Oh, it should be noted that neither of my bags had the hangtag with them when I acquired them. IIUC I can call Coach customer service and get those replaced, yes?
Anyway, PHOTOS:

Googling the serial number on vintage bags won't tell you anything since there's no identifying information in older serial numbers. You may want to read the Salearea Guides when you have time, there's a lot of information in them on older classic and vintage bags:
http://search.reviews.ebay.com/members/salearea_W0QQcpnameZmembersQQprZsaleareaQQuqtZg
Yours is at least 25 years old, maybe as old as 35 - definitely qualifies as "vintage" - and is an original Shoulder Purse, style 9385, made in NYC. It's impossible to tell exactly when it was made since early Coaches didn't have year codes either, but it's the same style that Coach just brought back in their Classics line but in thinner leather:
http://www.coach.com/online/handbag...Keyword=classics&cacheKeyword=CLASSICS#104321
They give the Intro date as 1974 although yours is probably a bit more recent. And yes, you can call Coach for a replacement hangtag, have the bag and serial number available when you call.
Nice find!
Edited to add: just noticed that the new version doesn't list the Kisslock Coin purse inside which is a shame if they eliminated it. You can see it in this 1986 catalog though:

True, that's not very good advice since the style was made almost 7 years ago and I doubt if anyone at any Factory Store will have worked there long enough to remember.
Also why waste your time going to or even phoning anyone at a Factory store for that kind of information? That's what this thread is for, after all. It was called a Hamptons Pebbled Leather Carryall Business Tote, made in 2005, so it was from the Hamptons or Hamptons Business line.
YAY! Thank you very much!! I knew it they prob had the keyword "pebbled leather" in it lol. Very helpful.
THANKS AGAIN!
Any ID on this bag? I think it's a Madison piece.
