This Parisian picture of Lillian and Miles Cahn, founders of the Coach women's accessories line, appears in the NY Times obituary for Lillian. Some of us were trying to figure out when the photo was taken because there are several courier pouches in the window.

We were also wondering about the bag that Lillian is carrying, could it be a convertible clutch or maybe a basic bag?

Any ideas about the era and the bags in this picture? Thanks!

How interesting! I wonder when Coach started exporting bags to Europe. These styles were from the 70's and 80's so I would assume it was in that period, probably before 1985 when Sara Lee bought the company.
 
I have two coach bags that have a number one them, though my other two don't does that mean they are fake?

The two with numbers are.. Are they real and how much would they be worth (I'm wanting to sell them)
18593
G0826-12871
Smaller bags don't always have numbers. We can't tell you if they are real without pictures of both the bag and the creed showing the number. If the complete number is 18593, it is probably fake. Real Coach numbers have more digits than that. You should post your question with the pictures here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-763164.html

I'm not feeling optimistic about the 18593 item at all. I can't find any indication that the style number exists.

As suggested, please post pictures at "authenticate this Coach."
 
would love to know the real name of this bag. It's style # J8C 9051. Dimensions are about 10"W x 6.5"H x 3"D. Straps drop about 13"

Thanks so much. I've in put it's style # into various sites and I don't get any consistent true name.
 
I don't have a picture of MY bags but someone on ebay said my favorite style (which is my Avatar)
is called the NYC bag. That doesn't sound right. It has the buckle on straps and the brass buckle and 'keeper' to secure the flap.ANy help???

I do believe it's the "Saddle Pouch" and I think there were a few sizes of the style.

The "Saddle Pouch Large" style 9585 is 11 x 9 x 2. I have no measurements for the other sizes.
