You're welcome. The first D stands for the month, so it is the fourth month which is April. The 7 is the year and stands for 1997.Hopefully you can read it. Thanks!
I posted it but its sideways. It was only 35 dollars so for a good leather bag it's still good.There is a date code on the leather patch inside. If you post a picture of the entire imprinted area, we can tell you.
I know! At $1,100 retail it will be the most valuable bag I own!
Over $10K for Coach? Wow! Coach is nice but if I were spending that kind of money on a bag, it wouldn't be Coach.Coach hasn't made very many exotic bags in the last few years, but they still produce some. The genuine exotic Haleys in this post were seen at Harrod's a couple of months ago.

Please post pictures.I recently found a black coach purse at the back of my closet - I know it is Coach because I bought it at a Coach Store I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea about how old it is. The number inside is 698 2809. It is made out of light weight leather - I think it was one of the first times they used it. The bag is sort of U shaped - 5 inches wide at the bottom about 2 1/2 inches deep, 9 inches wide at the top and 8 inches from top to bottom. It has leather piping around all the edges. There is an adjustable strap and it closes with a magnetic clasp. The strap detail is sewn around the bottom of the bag and joins with the adjustable strap with a square brass ring. It has an inside zipper pocket and an open pocket under the flap. One thing that this style did - they made a few styles like them the sides of the purse came up and were attached to the flap so that when you closed the bag it was folded in like an envelope it keeps things in and they don't fall out. I cannot remember when I purchased it - so I was wondering if anyone could help me with any info. I also own it in navy blue and I have a smaller one in navy as well. Thanks for any help you can give. it says on the bottom line made in the United States.![]()
I have a guess. It sounds like the Paris bag from 1989. Does it look like this?

You're welcome!Thanks I have 2 of the smaller size bags one in navy and one in black. I really appreciate the fact that you could show me a picture now I know what the bag was called. Thanks again.
Probably a Casey bag #9923. These older bags held up very well.I have one more bag made out of this leather it is almost the same size as the Watson bag, but it has a magnetic closure and the sides go up the same way - I cannot remember the neme of this one either, don't have the measurements with me right now, but from what I remember it was about the size of a Watson. It is funny to read the copy that went along with the bags and it is hard to realize that they are over 20 years old. Just had to use a few coats of moisturizer on the Paris bag.
I won this bag on an online charity auction site and Beenburned has confirmed that it is genuine, but neither of us could find out any information about it! I haven't received it yet but I am dying to get my hands on it!
In the meantime I am posting the auction pictures here in the hope that one of my fellow TPFers knows some information about the bag.
The style number is 13417 and it was made in Italy in 2008. I'm pretty sure that it comes from the Parker line and the nearest thing that I could find on the Coach Wayback Machine is the rosegold leather Parker Small Flap 13462 (see the screenshot below).
I would love to know any information about my new (to me!) bag: the name, color, when it was released, and the original retail price. The creed patch says that it is snake so I have been looking at snakeskin bags online and I think that it is Karung snake, but that is just a guess.
Come on TPFers! Help me to solve this beautiful mystery! (Thanks in advance for your assistance!)
