It should be from 2006. Note the 06 in the first set of #'s. And the A is January I think? Not sure of the exact name, but she is nice!
According to ebay they list her as a Pebbled leather shoulder tote.
Hi Coach lovers,
My wife loves handbags and shoes. Luckily for our marital bliss, I Know What She Likes, and frequently will get her a handbag and/or shoes for a gift. Early in our marriage, about 1995 or so, I hit a home run. At the coach store, I got her a small, black, kidney-shaped purse. It was pretty small, about 8" x 4" or 5" x 6". with a handle on top, and a zipper around the curved part of its circumference . People often commented that it looked like a binocular case. It came with a shoulder strap, but she never used it. This purse was beloved beyond all other purses, and although she'd carry others occasionally, this was the one that was the daily driver. This purse wasn't sold for very long, and when she'd shop in the coach stores, the salespeople were often surprised to learn that it was a coach.
Fast forward to 2001, when The Purse was snatched from our toddler's lap in a grocery cart by some evil hag in the grocery store who sprinted to a waiting getaway van.
The loss of The Purse continues to be a source of sadness. No other purse will fill the void...I'll be keeping my eyes open for a replacement for the rest of our married lives, I expect. My online searching would be easier, however, if I could determine the official name/model for this purse.
Please see a bad drawing below.
O, coach-knowers, help me on my quest for the second home run!! Do you know what this purse was called?

My mom bought this bag last summer at a Coach outlet. Now she wants to sell it but we have no idea what its called. Does anyone know?
Thanks.
Please post the measurements and the serial number from the patch inside the bag, if there is one.
Does the bag look like this one?
I have it on my list as Style number 9955 but with a ? marks. I also have it listed as a Trail bag which may not be correct.
I hope Hyacinth sees this. She may actually know the name of the bag.

Sniped by DemRam!
It was called a Trail Bag, from the mid 90's. The style number was 9955. There don't seem to be any listed on Ebay right now that have either Trail or the style number in the listing but if you set up a continuing Search, one may turn up eventually on Ebay.
Click on Advanced search at the top of any page,
Copy & Paste this into the search box:
coach (9955,trail)
Then scroll down and select Clothing & Accesories from the All Categories section's drop-down menu.
Select "Save This Search to My Ebay"
Down a bit more and select "Title & Description"
and then
"include Store inventory"
That will run a Search and also set a continuing Search that will send messages to your Ebay ID if any of those search parameters shows up. You may also want to do a regular search for "coach vintage" in case someone lists one without the name or serial number.
Assuming this is what you're looking for:

Can anyone help me identify a Coach bag? I've already contacted Coach customer service with no luck. 
I bought the bag at full price from a Coach retail store sometime in the 2000s. I believe it was a limited/special edition and I have never seen another. It was red leather with a horizontal turquoise leather stripe. Zipper on top. Silky fabric lining. Two cellphone pockets. Hip length red strap. Stunning bag. I have no pictures (this was before I realized there was such a thing as purse porn).
My car was broken into earlier this year and the bag was stolen. I'd love to at least know it's name/year of manufacture. I miss that bag.

Hi Ben-
Nice drawing, really! The Trail Bag 9955 that DemRam and Hyacinth have described is an uncommon but regular find on ebay . . . one comes around maybe about once a month. They're usually in surprisingly nice condition for their age. But I've rarely seen it in black, so snatch it up if you find one! They're almost always brown, like one being sold now (not as good condition, ebay item 230372892603). I still have a brown one on my watch list that sold for $17 (inc. s+h) in mid-July. Usually it's more, but not more than $50--though a rarer black one might sell for more than the average brown. In addition to the searches Hyacinth recommended, I'd suggest doing searches including title and description for "Coach camera" and "Coach binoculars." Those terms are consistently mentioned, so it'll help you find it if the seller doesn't include the name or style number.
Good luck on your search! I know the disappointment of having your favorite Coach stolen. Your wife is lucky to have a husband so devoted to--and understanding of--her handbag happiness!

Maybe a rugby tote? I know they make them in blue/tan and I think it came in red/blue or red/tan?
Thank you for the suggestion. They are close - but not quite the same. The leather piecing/stripe and topstitching look very similar, as does the strap design, but the rugby tote flairs out at the top and mine did not.
I don't see the rugby on coach.com, so I'm guessing it's another discontinued line? I found white/blue and navy/white on Amazon, but no red. Maybe I can find one in the outlets some day and "try it out" to see if it could be my replacement.
Any other suggestions much appreciated.

I was thinking the early 2000/late 90's Rugby tote. The new MFF ones are not the same... the old Rugby's were much like the older lunch totes, but came in 2-3 sizes.Thank you for the suggestion.

That bag was a rugby duffle. They did them in a couple of different color combos: red/turq, navy/parchment, fuchsia/green. It was release right after they re-released their big Legacy duffle bag. Single strap could be worn doubled/short or single/long. I remember the fuchsia/green combo was wildly popular because it was some sorority's colors...
