I am curious as to where this "falls" in the Skinny Tote lineage.
I just got this bag from ebay. Looks fabulous (too fabulous- since I think they may have done a littile "polishing", which I've already inquired about and hope to receive an answer on). But the condition is really great otherwise.
I've not seen a lined bag this old. I know there are some, though, from reading previous posts. It has just the plain Coach embossing, a black fabric lining, and "B" hinges. What do you think? I know it's hard to pin down what is exactly Cashin, or post Cashin era stuff! Thanks so much!

It IS the original Bonnie Cashin designed Skinny Tote with the rolled handles and that seam a few inches down from the top. Actually, the entire construction of the bag is a bit different than the later versions.

I have seen the originals with the striped lining, but I haven't seen one with the plain lining - though because I haven't seen it doesn't mean a thing, because I really haven't seen many of those ever.

I also think that "mark" was used during the Cashin era. My opinion only is: whether it was made during the years Cashin was there or the very year she left - it's still a Bonnie Cashin designed bag.

WOW! I hope the condition is as good as it appears because that would be a real beauty.

(The B on the hinge is for Branson Manufacturing).

Wow! Congratulations on a gorgeous find!

Looks like it might be a Ranch Bag style 9852 from around 1990

I ran across this when looking for something else and it's cute and I want one. :)

Anyone know what it's called so I can better search for it in the future? Any other info like year and colors that it came in would be much appreciated.

I have one of those! Not sure, but it was probably listed as a phone case or camera case. It was from Ebay and there wasn't any other information on it and there were no tags and no creed inside either. From the color I'd guess it was made sometime between 2004 and 2007.

I have 5 coach bags (front/back of each) that were found in my deceased aunt's home. I assume they are authentic, as they have the key fob and labels. We will be selling them, but need to know some history on the bags; ie: name, year, approximate value. If you can't discuss value here, then is there a site that an help with that?

Thanks Ann

Having the "key fobs" called Hangtags, and labels - creed stamps or patches - does NOT prove they're authentic. Fakes have those too. The only way we can tell if they're genuine is if you post your question along with large clear readable photos of the creed patch or stamp including the numbers underneath from inside the bags. Those photos should be added to your Facebook page with the bag photos too. The Macro setting on your camera usually gives the best results when photographing the creeds. There's no way to be sure a Coach bag is genuine without seeing and analyzing the creed.

It's also very hard to identify most of them and impossible to know when they were made without that information, and without knowing the measurements of most of them, the red one being the exception. Also, we can't give any values on them. You'll have to try and find similar styles on Ebay and see what they sold for, and we need to be sure they're authentic before even putting names to them. Older leather Coaches were very often and sometimes very well faked..

Thanks. I have part#'s for all but 1 bag, it was warn off. They all have the 'creed patch' you mentioned. I just didn't photograph those. I'll get the bags back and photograph those patches. Thanks. This is a learning experience.

The part#'s are: 9966 (frommets in strap), 9959 (red), 7828, 4339 (flat brown). It is worn off on the flat black.

They aren't part numbers. Some are unique registration numbers and some are semi-generic serial numbers. The only way to know is to actually see a photo of the entire creed and number, and I need to actually see it to authenticate and ID it.

I know it's a pain, but that's the only way to do it right.

Thanks Hyacinth. I can see no logical reason why this one caught my eye-but I like it. :)

It looks like style 8433 though a search by that style number probably won't be fruitful at all because of the age of the item. Hyacinth's keywords are more apt to get hits.
