Next time, please post a link to the listing. I realize you'd be risking someone else seeing it but it's a time-consuming PITA to look for it.

I don't know whether this is another listing for the same style or if it's the listing you saw (though the pictures are different), but the style number is 9484 and the style name is [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Sans-serif]New COACH SOHO SUEDE FRINGE DUFFLE[/FONT] from 2003. Original price was $298.

Thank you BeenBurned!! That is indeed the one!

Aha! The seller probably doesn't want to send you a picture of the creed because she knows it's no where near the age she claims it is!

Actually, I don't recommend 1frompatty if she won't send you a picture because without it, it's impossible to authenticate with accuracy.

As I commented, it's from 2003 and NOT from the 80s as described by the seller as to when she purchased it. Additionally, the bag in her listing is filthy and although I don't do rehab, I'm not sure you'll ever get that clean! (There are some very talented and experienced rehabbers here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-clubhouse/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club-833400.html ) They might be able to advise you as to the condition and possible restoration.

Sorry, I can't find it either. I'll try looking again later. It looks as if the strap has been shortened.

Thanks!

Is this it? #4102 Camera Bag, from the 1990 Holiday Catalog. Good eye, it is listed as part of the Lightweights Collection.

Hi all - could I get an ID on this supercool briefcase? I love the strap attachments and the fact that it has flaps on both sides. The creed isn't clear but it looks like an early 90's serial number based on the creed format.

Thanks in advance for any info!

VINTAGE COACH USA BROWN LEATHER BRIEFCASE MESSENGER LAPTOP BAG

It looks like a *8A- prefix but the first digit is blurred. That A code was apparently used for the part-time NYC plant but the creed stamp is one of the old ones that should have been discontinued by 1996. Of about 10 A plant creeds I have saved there aren't any newer than 1995 with the old-style creed, but maybe I'm misreading and the 8 is actually a 6. And the creed stamp just looks strange, the Coach logo seems bigger than it should be.

There's a chance it might be some kind of sample bag, the style number could be -0000. Production business bags would have had style numbers starting with -05** or very rarely, -06** but the black one just looks like zeros.

Here's a pic of another A plant bag that looks like it used the same creed and serial number stamp except for the year code. The angle is slightly different but the proportions and spacings look the same.

The style itself doesn't look familiar but I'll keep looking. Maybe Noshoepolish has seen it before.

I received my briefcase today and am really looking forward to rehabbing it. I does have a 0000 style number and an _6A code.

16" x 9.5" x 2

Double turnlock flap over full length slip pocket and an interior compartment. The interior also has a zip pocket and a key hook.

The back has a double magnet snap flap over an organizer panel, a small zipper pocket that is gusseted on one end and a large gusseted pocket.

The strap is held on by two brass loops that are attached with phillips head screws. I've seen these loops but I think only on bags that are older than 1996.

Apologies for all the photos, it is just so unusual.

One more photo.

It seems to be genuine and probably a sample, but I don't know if it ever made it to production. Maybe Noshoepolish has seen it before.

It's interesting, whatever it turns out to be.

You have better eyes than I, that's the only one with the right top and strap.

Thanks, although I realized that I went dyslexic - the # should be #4012, not #4102.

'S All right, we knew what you meant. Nice catch!
