There are at least four bags in that series, 6100,6101, 6102 and 6103 and all the ones I've seen have the "leather" creed. At the time I don't think they even had a creed for fabric bags since they really didn't make any except for some twill versions of leather bags. It's just another of those exceptions to the Rules we keep warning everyone about.

I knew I had seen one with a non-leather creed and it took me a bit to run across it again.

The creed is a little blurry in the listing but it says "a custom developed material trimmed with our classic glove-tanned leather. This high quality durable fabric has been treated to withstand water and (?) dirt."

It's a 1998 so maybe they got a new creed stamp at the "A" plant by then....

Did you notice that the dash is in the wrong place?

They used the creed stamp made for the Neo line - check the creed pic in this listing:

It probably wasn't worth making a special stamp for a very limited number of bags. The Neo description was probably as close as they could get with what they had available. The misplaced dash wouldn't worry me too much.
 
Last one. .. maybe :) tan/tabac small flap approximately 7 x 6 x 3 serial is gone if it existed

If there's a magnetic snap on the flap it might be a Casey Bag from around 1993-94, but the strap must have been completely changed. The Casey had a sewn-on tubular strap. Are there any small holes on the sides where a strap might have been sewn? The strap it has with the rivets definitely wasn't made by Coach. Maybe someone used the bases of the tubular straps to make attachments for D-rings.

Interesting... It's my mother's and she's had it for as long as I can remember. I'll take more pics and look at it again. It does have the magnetic closure.

I wonder if the original strap was too long for her, or for the previous owner if there was one? A 52-inch strap might be too long for a lot of people even if it was worn cross-body.

Thanks!

I HATE it when the seller can't be bothered to show the serial number.

It looks like a Bridle Top Handle from around 1999, but I'd still want to see the creed patch to confirm. The serial number should end in -6701.
