Is anyone familiar with this bag? It's a small shoulder bag. My uncle bought it for me one Christmas a while ago, just wondering as I am interested in looking at what other colors it came out in. Thanks! :)

Unfortunately, I can't see a picture if you posted one. :sad:

That appears to be a top handle pouch #44989. I think it came in khaki/mahogany, light khaki/white, lilac, rose and slate, as well as black, signature.
 
Hi! I have a friend who has a wonderful crossbody Coach satchel (BO3-9134) but she already promised it to a male friend of ours in case of an untimely demise so I am left to comb e-bay looking for a reasonable facsimile if not exactly the same model. Can you tell me what the difference is between these two? They are off by one character and it appears the one on e-bay is more square than my girlfriend's but they are quite similar. Any help would be strongly appreciated!

I love the bag for its simplicity, unisex appeal, large size, and shallow depth. My girlfriend bought hers at a factory store about 100 years ago (we're old) and suggests that I should be able to pick up a similar bag on e-bay for 40ish if I am diligent.

Thank you, Margo

Style 9134 is the Hippie Flap. Do an "advanced" search on ebay for Coach 9134 and click on the box that says SEARCH INCLUDING Title and description.

There are 4 listed right now.

Be sure and have them authenticated FIRST before buying on the Authentic This Coach thread.

Read the instructions on Post #1 of that thread and go to the last page and scroll to the bottom and click on POST REPLY.

There is little difference between those two numbers. It is only the numbers after the dash that determine the style. The characters before the dash indicate where and when the item was made.
 
I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this question.

Do these look like the same bag to you?

I also meant to ask, is it a soho briefcase?

I think the style looks the same... though the 1st has seller measurements of 18"x 12.50" x3" and the 2nd one has measurements of 16" x 13.5"

Both appear to be authentic, but I have no clue if Bonnie Cashin had anything to do with that style OR any clue what the Name is.

Maybe someone else is familiar with the style name?

By George, I think I've got it! It's newer than I thought.

Unless there was an identical older version (and the serial number indicates there probably wasn't) it's an Envelope Portfolio style number 5190 from around 1987, not from the 70s as one seller said, and with no direct connection to the Bonnie Cashin era. There's only one size listed and Coach gives measurements as 16 1/2 x 11 x 3 1/2, although there will always be variations in measurements unless a bag is perfectly rectangular and non-flexible.

It wouldn't be a Soho since Coach didn't start to use that family name until around 1993, but it's described as a lighter-weight leather. Here's Coach's catalog page from the 1987 Holiday book:
