I just came across this bag on Etsy and I've emailed the seller requesting more information as there is nothing in the description that proves it is even a Coach bag. It's a cute bag IF it's really a Coach. Would love to hear your thoughts on it as I've never seen one like it - which doesn't mean much. The seller thinks it is from the 70s and stated that it has no lining. It doesn't look 70s to me.

I don't recognize it but it doesn't look very old. I would post it here: http://forum.purseblog.com/handbags-and-purses/please-help-identify-this-handbag-633033.html
Maybe someone will know what brand it is if it isn't a Coach. Maybe someone removed the lining.

I doubt very much if it's a Coach. That style turnlock doesn't look like anything Coach has made even on newer styles.

NEVER MIND, found it. It doesn't say it's a Coach, it says "Coach like" and it's not even that. Just having a turnlock doesn't make it "Coach like".

It's called a Fake.

The inside pocket zipper should NOT have a non-matching color (it almost looks like the blue denim from the 1980s styles in some photos) on the fabric edging, the strap buckles are the wrong shape - they should "kick out" at the bottom like an Omega unstead of curving inward, and the elongated O-rings that are in the strap are the wrong shape, they're TOO rounded. The lining was never used in the Equestrian line, the stitching and joining on the strap edges is really bad, in fact the strap really looks cheaply made. And of course the J plant code in US bags is usually either fake or questionable. And if we could read the stamping on the magnetic snaps, that would probably be wrong too. Also, the bag in my photos is the same color and there's no sign of any white or light-colored contrast stitching anywhere. Equestrian bags didn't use contrast stitching, it was always the same color as the leather.

I really hope you didn't bid on that.

Thanks Hyacinth. No, I had no intention of bidding on it and luckily no one else did. I was just curious and now have reported it.
