Thanks. I just noticed that she posted that in the listing, but when I asked her about it, she told me it was silver. It just looks so shiny that I didn't expect it to be the undercoat. Maybe the gold-plating doesn't hold up like brass. In the second listing, I think I see some gold around the kisslocks and loops, which indicates you are right.

I just checked my new really old bag and when I look at the kiss lock closed, I see a gleam of brass/gold but the kiss lock looks silver when I look closely at it. My guess is that it was plated at one time and the plating wore off.

I have a question about the vintage kiss lock totes. Some have shiny metal kiss locks and others have a leather covered kiss lock. Are they just different styles from the same time period or are the leather covered kiss locks older? Any info is always appreciated.

The leather covered ones are newer. The really old, pre-creed kisslocks are brass-plated metal.

I am hoping someone can ID this bag for me. I love the drawstring under the flap. Here are the listed measurements: Approx measurement: 10.5” (L) 9” (H) 3” (W). Any assistance is always appreciated.

It's a Lightweights shoulder bag #4050.

ETA: I think it might be overstuffed in the photo. Usually the flap hangs down a little lower.

I came across this listing and would love your comments and an ID. It has a metal framed kiss lock purse but the straps are very narrow and detachable. The hardware is silver colored so my guess is that the plating wore off. Here is the listing so you can see all of the photos. The seller states it is pre-creed. Any info is always appreciated.

I find the listing extremely confusing. The seller mentions the Bs on the hinges and the Coach imprint but doesn't show any pictures of them. The strap in the first picture looks like a brass basic dogleash, but picture 5 shows an entirely different type of clip in more of a silver color. The grommets look brass. I don't think either the grommets or the strap, whichever one you end up getting, are original to the bag. And you are right, it would have been brass plated.

Thanks, Whateve. I saw exactly the same things. I think the bag may be legitimate but the strap is a replacement. The grommets could be a replacement too. She also does not show the inside of the bag would at least have "Coach" in it. I am going to ask her about and see what she says.


On another note, I picked up a navy blue Sheridan Savannah last night for $12.99. No one else bid on it. :-)

Hi again, Whateve,


I just found this listing for the same style of bag and this seller is well known. The strap and grommets appear to be the same as the other one I found. What do you think?
