I posted my guess (some kind of Camera Case, from the early to mid 2000 decade?) at the Authenticate thread but more answers are welcome:

That strap is from the Poppy Willis or Poppy City Willis in navy/ivory colorblock.

Thank you so very much! Now that I finally know, perhaps I should look for the purse to go with it, LOL

No, still I would love to find the strap I really need.

And to the rest of the ladies that own the Willis, LOL as well... sometimes what is the closest to us, is what we overlook ;)

I really appreciate all the help I am getting from you all!

You should check at a Coach outlet. Sometimes they have extra straps from damaged purses they can give you. Or you can have one custom made.

You may be able to find one of the Colorblock Willis bags in that Navy/Ivory/Tan combination on one of the auction sites at a really good price because the long strap is missing The color code should be "B4AOB". The New Willis styles are great, and I love the Colorblock City Willis I own. (Different color combo, or I probably would have recognised that strap. At least that's what I keep telling myself! :D )

The closest outlet to me is almost two hours away, I will call and see if I can work on something. If they would have some of course I would make the trip. Thanks for the tip.

You ladies are so helpful. Thanks for the color code, I will keep an eye on the auctions. Yeah... to buy a new purse because I have the strap, is a good reason ;)

Good evening everyone. It has been an interesting Coach day here as I received a call from Jed Winokur (Coach archivist) today. Tonight I sent him photos of the large Dakota satchel we know as the 4202.

It looks as though it is actually a 4203 Fargo which is 12" L x 8.5 H x 4.25" D with a full zippered top but we will know for sure when I hear back from him. He is also going to send me a pamphlet showing all of the Dakota bags which I will be happy to share.

One thing he mentioned struck me as a bit odd so I thought I would ask about it. He said the Fargo has feet which none of my Dakotas do and he was also under the impression that they have serial/style numbers under the creed. None of mine have any kind of a serial/style number either although they could have been glued on and fallen off later.

Does anyone have a Dakota (especially a large zippered top one) with metal feet and/or a serial/style number of some sort? Any info will be greatly appreciated - as always.

If I recall correctly, I've never seen a number of any kind on a Dakota, but I've never seen a Fargo. The only one I've seen IRL is a Cassidy, which, of course, has no feet. I can hardly wait to see the pamphlet.

The Fargo has feet but doesn't look anything like your bag. I would say yours looks more like a larger version of the Cartwright.

Thanks for the reply. I own a Cartwright and the brown bag is different and just like the one Hyacinth posted. The same trim and front pocket with a hidden snap closure like hers and it is considerably larger than the Cartwright. I've never seen a Fargo either but it sounds as though that may be what I have. I own almost the entire line of Dakotas although my eBay supply has run dry for the last few weeks. Plenty of Sheridans but no Dakotas. Currently I have two Cassidys, two Lariats, two Riders, a Cartwright and a Ranger on the way plus the large brown bag. They kept popping up at great prices (under $30) so I scooped them up. :-)

I've never seen a number on a Dakota or feet either. It doesn't make sense to me that a Dakota would have feet. They are very much a mid-western prairie sort of bag. None of my Sheridans have feet either. It will be interesting to see what Jed comes up with and to get that pamphlet. I am a former librarian turned social worker and it drives me nuts when something cannot be cataloged. :woot:
