Thanks! I couldn't find another one on the Internet. It's funny I keep finding these unusual styles in white since I would expect the white to be least likely to survive in decent condition.

This is a Leah op art from 2008, I believe. It came in 3 different sizes. This appears to be the medium size, I think, which is about 16" across the top, and is style number 13142. It is coated canvas and the lining is blue. It has the turnlock pocket in the front and a slip pocket in the back. I love this style.
Counterfeiters love to copy this print.
Remember that it's also the color most likely to have been re-dyed or, heaven forbid, re-touched with shoe polish. Always ask about any re-touching before bidding on white bags - that way if the seller says it hasn't been retouched or redyed and you get it and find out it has been, you have a legitimate case for a SNAD.
We need the measurements of the bag, a way to enlarge the photos, and a photo of the creed stamp.
It measures 15 across and 10 to top of compartment with flap open... 4 inches deep on bottom (except it pouches out to 6 or more)
thank you... I hope the photos work

It's some kind of Field Bag, isn't it? I'm not good with specific older styles, but Coach has made many variations of the Field Bag over the years. It's even part of the current Coach Classics line.
thats a good way to think about it... but each bag had a name.. this was followed by the Musette.. then the Carrier..
Its so old... does anyone know if there were catalogs of this stuff
I know how to determine if there is shoe polish but how would you be able to tell if it were redyed? I know people tend to dye bags black when they are really stained, assuming that lighter colors won't mask the stains.
I don't know if this helps but I had a putty colored bag dyed black, in the after pics you can see that the inside was not dyed and doesn't match (I was disappointed about that) and that a little of the black dye has bleeded inside along the seams:

Yes, I remember that you did that. It looks a little weird in the inside. I was thinking that you couldn't have covered up the stains by dying it a light color. Other than not having the inside match, which could have been fixed by dying the inside as well, I don't see a problem with buying a dyed bag, other than if it was a dyed a color the bag never came in. I have a green bag that has a color of scrape marks and if I could mask them with dye, I think that would be preferable to leaving them black. (But only if I could do such a great job that you couldn't tell.)
I have 2 little ones and finally decided that since I'm nearly out of the diaper bag stage - it was time to do something for mommy. And decided... Coach? Sure, why not!
I had been looking (for hours! and days!) at the coach website, mulling over which style I liked best and then which I could AFFORD... I fell in love with the persimmon color and found the madison leather sophia lindsey to be a good fit for me. And then found that I was super late on securing that color.
Went to just the local mall (time contraint, but kiddo free!!!) a few days later to check the style out and felt like I still needed something bigger...
(I wanted to USE my first bag, and not be crazy worried about it, still take care of it, but be able to fit things for my girls too...) so I started searching ebay.
Then I realized that, "Gasp! Someone would really sell fake bags!" All I knew is, I did not wanna go through that!
Then I found THE PURSE FORUM! So much great information, but honestly so much to know and I don't know where to start... I feel sooo *dumb!
Well I came across this listing originally for $299 (or best offer)+shipping. Loved the look, inside organization, extender strap, color, everything! Pleaded my offer to seller: first coach handbag, needed something bigger for kiddos, etc etc etc. And she lowered the price to $249.99 and I bought it!
My first coach handbag purchase!

Comments: I need info...
Honest opinions: (brutal even; HEY, I'll never learn unless I'm told)
Did I get a *good deal? I just don't want to find the same (style/color/year) bag offered from several sellers because its so common that it could be listed at a really low starting bid.
What in the world do I use to clean it??? lol AND HOW?!???
I know I have skimmed through threads about people taking their coach handbags to coach stores and receiving a dust bag and hangtags, etc... Is this an option for me? (Did not come with dust bag) If so what type of Coach store could I go to?
Also I was made aware of toolhaus.org from the member: Hyacinth so I looked up the seller and she had some bad reviews, but SEVERAL years ago. Still made me nervous.
I'm not trying to insult anyone or seem ignorant, I'm just sooo new to this and value your thoughts and opinions.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!!!!
