Does anyone know a website that lists all the penelope or gramercy collections? I looked though coach.com but I cant find anything. and it seems this wallet has both gramercy and penelope in it>.< Thanks in advance
I can't find that exact style anywhere - how long ago did you buy it, and if it was from an auction or online site could you post the URL?
I can find a Penelope Embossed Slim Envelope wallet in Patent that has the same design but I can't find a smaller version in metallic leather. Yours is definitely a Penelope though, but it might be an outlet-only item. Did you check all the credit card slots to see if there might be a price tag hidden in one of them?
Here's one of about 30 listings showing the full-size Patent version:
http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-42426-Pen...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1205|293:1|294:50
And for some reason the Carriage part of the stamp doesn't look like it's centered correctly over the Coach cartouche but it would be nice to see a clearer photo of that stamp, and one that's not backwards.

Ladies, any clue why some of your photos won't show for me?! It's frustrating cause I wanna help too, LOL! All I see is a box with the little red "x" in it...some photos show, others don't. wahh!
Are you checking away from home? At some computers at work, I cannot see the images unless they are attachments.

I need help to identify this kind of Coach!
The bag's called a Duffle Sac and was made in 1996. more than 20 years AFTER Bonnie Cashin left Coach.
Bags shouldn't be advertised as "Bonnie Cashin" unless they were made during her time with Coach and designed by her.
Whoever wrote to you was wrong about this though:
"The wording in the creed is from after 2000 and Coach didn't use letters in their serial number until after 2000."
The wording is from the mid-90s and Coach began using letters in their serial numbers in 1994. Your correspondent needs to do some research. She's correct about Bonnie Cashin though.
BC's name is one of the most abused and overused in Coach listings, and in my perfect little world anyone using her name to describe a bag she had nothing to do with either also needs to do some research, or in some cases is guilty of deliberately misleading her buyers.
The Bonnie Cashin Foundation website has a history of her career and is the final word on which styles can legitimately use Cashin's name, they will verify or not verify any bag or other item for a fee:

"Classic Signature Tote" seems to be what everyone is using in their listings.

Hi Hyacinth, the number from creed says : No M0720-F11220
Unfortunately, I don't have the price tag anymore.

Hey all, xxx. Not sure the model name, but the card says it's from the Signature Collection. It's fairly small, I could see it being used as a makeup bag. I got it a few summers ago (maybe in 06-07) at Macys. Would really like an ID! Thanks!
