I came across this listing today and it looks pretty neat and the starting price is very low although I suspect that won't last for long.

It is a triple kiss lock Cashin era (?) bag with rope bound handles. It is listed as leather and vinyl! Do any of the really old bags have any style number or name? Here is the link to the one I found.

Wow that is cool! It seems to have different 'knobs' on all three kiss locks.

You're right about the low start price. Once you list on TPF .....

I really like it but I think it will go through the roof. I noticed the knobs too and the handles are very interesting. It needs a good cleaning but otherwise it looks to be in great shape. I want a Lindy someday but I will wait until someone lists one having no idea what they have. At this point, I have just about all of my wish list completed. The problem is the list keeps growing. :-)

It came up when I was doing a search for Bonnie kisslock so it was already on my watchlist. However, I have major concerns that there is no Coach label or Bonnie Cashin label on the bag anywhere. I don't know how you could prove it was a real Bonnie Cashin. The striped lining is reminiscent of Bonnie designs but isn't the normal pattern we are used to seeing. The kisslocks seem to be all different shapes?

I came across this Laurel for sale. I have a Laurel and it is by no means old enough to be a "Bonnie Cashin" era handbag. Actually, there are two Laurels posted claiming to be Bonnie Cashin bags. My Laurel is a 4112. Was there an earlier edition I am not aware of?

Since the Laurel is part of the Lightweights collection, which wasn't even introduced until the late 80s, there is no way it could be a Bonnie Cashin era. My catalog page for it is from 1991. I think people think it looks more vintage than it is so they make that mistake. We know how sellers always exaggerate the age of their bags.

ETA: I don't think there could have been a Bonnie Cashin that was similar in design because that shape wouldn't have been possible until they started using the lighter leather.

Thanks, Whateve! I've also noticed blatant listings of non-Coach bags lately. The list the brand as Coach and openly state that it's not.

Any idea where the seller got the name "Jessica" for this geometric barrel bag?

I've never found an exact name for it, it's just been called a Roll Bag in the photos I've found and by a Coach collector who liked the Geometric styles. "Jessica" doesn't seem to fit with the other names Coach was using for bags during the late 1990s so I'm also wondering where the seller got the name.

That's kind of what I thought. It just seemed so specific!
