It's not a Coach, the dog leash clip on the strap is wrong, and the zipper may or may not be a Talon but it's too big for that bag. The details of the strap ends are wrong too. Someone just stuck a Coach hangtag on it and the seller is trying to make people think that MAYBE it's a Coach instead of a generic lookalike. Leaving that hangtag on is deceptive at best and an outright lie at worst.
Hi Hyacinth / DemRam,
I was hoping you could help with this mystery bag.
I bought this as part of an estate auction of 25 vintage Coaches. Most were NYC era (stuck-on serials) and most still had the original paperwork and booklets. All from the same owner.
This one has a hangtag but there is nothing inside... I'm hoping you can ID the style and that perhaps it had a metal tag that fell off?
Inside is typical vintage Coach, except no creed patch. The hangtag is the older, smaller version, and is the exact same slightly faded shade as the bag.
Thanks so much!

I wish I could help. That bag looks SO much like a Bonnie Cashin design...unfortunately it's impossible to prove.
The BCF doesn't "authenticate" so it's just not possible to be 100%
I can understand why you bought it. I can't prove it's a Cashin.

I would buy it...but I couldn't prove it's a Cashin.
Oh bullocks. Well thanks for taking a look... It's gotta be authentic, based on the others it was with then.. I think...I'll let you know when it's up in my store
By the way, it looks like the Cashin foundation USED to authenticate.. do you know when or why they stopped? There's a link on the page but no form to fill out.
Thanks again, mucho!

This may be your bag on the left front of this Coach Cashin ad. It does look like the same style. If so, it IS a Cashin design.
The last item I had authenticated by the Cashin Foundation was in January of 2010. I'm not sure exactly when they removed the form, but I believe the Cashin archive is now at UCLA.

Hooray! Thanks so much for finding that!
It's GOTTA be! I'm so pleased. You're the best!

Hey, the bag on the right looks like my "Small Shopper" thanks from me too!

Yes, the Cashin archive is at UCLA and many of the items in the collection are now available online for download!
Here's more proof that Bonnie Cashin designed your bag in "circa 1965" and she called it the "Barrel Bag" and it was a favorite design of hers!

well I'm positively breathless now, and wondering how to price her! I guess the fact that my barrel bag doesn't have a metal tag or even an embossed logo means she's even older.. I swoon for bags this old.. I wish they still made them like this! For a bag to last this long and look this good.... oh my...
in the future, please ask questions about authenticity in the Authenticate This Coach thread in the Coach Shopping forum.
Yours is genuine, it was called a Pearlized Mini Hobo, made in 2000. The format that we request posters to use is explained in the first post of that thread.
