Yay! Thanks so much! Would you have any idea of what they called the red-orange color in the 70's and 80's? It isn't on any of my color charts.
In all my catalogs it is just "Red." Here's one that has the stamped cartouche and a NYC Basic Bag - they are really a bright orangy red. I think red was hard then...

Hi ladies -
Tetondeb and I have been having a discussion about this bag. Can someone provide an ID and an approximate date it was made? (Her photos used with permission.) Dimension are approximately 17" long x 12" high x 6" deep. TIA!

Thanks so much Hyacinth! My early to mid-80s catalogs show the Brief Bag with much longer turnlock straps, state that the front pockets are gusseted and that the inside pocket has a zipper. It doesn't appear that the Brief Bag has a divider for two sections. You can also see the stitches for each pocket on each side of the crack between the pockets (where the gussets are sewn) and Tetondeb's bag only has two rows of stitching holding down the flat pockets.
I was convinced this was a Diplomat Briefcase, #5170. The turnlock straps match, it also has two slip pockets outside and the two interior compartments. The description states that there is "an additional pocket inside" which usually means a slip pocket. (Attached photo from 1986.) If you have a chance, could you educate me? I am feeling very confused.

Thanks. I have a red slim satchel compact that looks like those, pictured a few posts above. I just got a NYC bag that is a gorgeous deep orange. It has just has its bath so I can't take a picture now. I rehabbed a courier pouch that was orangish but not as vibrant as this one, shown below. This one is closer to my red-orange carnival bag, I think. I'm not exactly sure as I didn't think to compare it before I dunked it. It is definitely orange, not red.

You're the best. .. now step back about 10 steps and show us the rest of your shrine!
Ahhhh, I see what you mean. I have a Stewardess in that color. She's a still a dirty, dirty girl but you can see it under the flap. Also compared to a BT hobo and the red Basic Bag. Definitely orange.
Hi all - was wondering if I could get a name for my new bargain beauty? Also, a n00b question - there is one leather loop around the strap, is this a bag that converts to a shoulder by doubling the strap on one buckle -
I can see how you would use the loop in that case.
She's 12 w x 9h x 5d. Thanks in advance!

Yes! I think my new one is the most vibrant orange I've ever seen on a vintage bag, especially on the back of the pocket where it was kept protected. When it dries in a few days, I'll post a pic.
I think it was called Legacy Flap. The loop is to hold the strap together when you double it. This bag also has the leather trim around the inside pockets that they don't do much anymore and the inside ring to attach your keys.
