Cool! I thought I was getting a black bag and I it showed up Navy. I kind of like that!
Definitely navy is cooler than black. It is also cool to get the first style ever made (at least that is what Coach stated in their 1995 catalog, but the bio of Lillian Cahn describes the first Coach bag as a tote.) I have this same style in a NYC brown suede but no one has ever found a style number or catalog picture for it.

Coach is such a wonderful mystery sometimes!
 
2 more please! I'm almost through my "what the heck are you" bags!

#1 is taupe, approximately 9w x 7h x 2.5d
#2 British tan is approximately 3.5 x 7 x 1.5 with a strap and Velcro closure.
Thanks so much!

The top one is a compartment bag. The Olympics item is style number 1630. Is it a glasses case?

I'm not sure. ..It doesn't seem long enough but maybe. .. Thanks for the info. ..I'll try it out and see!
I think the Olympics case might be for the very old style Nokia cell phones.

That's interesting - it came out in 1995 but still uses the old pre-1994 all-numeric serial number system. Coach's style number is actually 656 which is the first half of the serial number. The Olympic items seem to have used whatever numbering system Coach was in the mood to use at the time.

They just called it a USOC Multifunction Case

I have always pretty much assumed that if a bag has this striped lining that it was designed by Bonnie Cashin. But in this article about Lillian Cahn, it says she designed the first Coach bag based on a simple paper shopping bag. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/08/b...tor-of-the-coach-handbag-dies-at-89.html?_r=0

This style looks like it could have been it. What do you think?
 
I can Not figure out the name of this little guy. It's about the same height and length as my companion flap, but much narrower in depth with different strap. It's approximately 8x8x2. I've looked up the style numbers etc and other people call it a companion flap but it's very different than my other that matches wayback. Any help appreciated!
