Measurements always help. It looks like a Classic Hobo, style 9855 from the late 1980s.

It's about 12" wide and 10" high. The main difference I'm noting is that the hobo handle buckle is at the very top of the bag edge. This buckle comes out of the side. It's similar in shape to the Becket, but with a different strap. I thought it was a janice at first, but upon further research, it is not.

BTW, Hyacinth, after looking over this blog, I feel like a celebrity replied to my post!! Thank you so much for your help.

Please, no applause! Just throw money.
Emeralds are also acceptable, and so are Capuccino or Hazelnut Lindt Lindor Truffles.

BTW, here's Coach's catalog pic of the Classic Hobo.

Hi
I just found this briefcase at an estate sale, can anyone authenticate & identify for me
it is about 15 1/2" W X 12 H by 5 D, I see a bullet mark on the pocket so I always assume that doesn't get knocked off
I apologize for the size of the pics but I can't seem to adjust my camera
Thanks RC

It's a Barclay Tote, style 9896 from around 1991.

Hi there, just got this bag and am wondering if it has a name. I'm told it's from the 80's.

Measures approx. 14" wide by 11" high and 5" deep

It's by far the best of the group I received.

Thank you so much for your help!

UPDATE: Nevermind, I figured it out. Café carryall. Don't know how to delete this post now. lol.

Hi – I was hoping somebody could help me identify the Coach I just bought. I'm pretty sure it's a Legacy bag. It kind of looks like the Phoebe, but not. Sorry I don't have much information. The seller hardly put anything in the description besides the pictures.

That's probably because the 9896 version didn't have the style number in the serial number.

It looks like a Studio Bag style 4081 from the Lightweight line although Coach quotes the measurements as 17x13x4, but their measurements always seem a little optimistic. As far as I can tell, that style was only made in 1991 and maybe into 1992, not the 1980s.

Ok, thanks! The seller seems to have been about 10 years off in her estimates. I'd say, if I measured the bag laying flat that would have added a few inches on either side for sure. I guess I did my best to measure the front panel.

What color would you say this bag is?

You don't happen to have a catalog pic do you Hyacinth? I'd love to see it and find out what other colours this was made in.

Ooo, a catalog picture would be great to see! I did a quick search online and couldn't find anything. Thanks for asking Hyacinth.

Coming right up...

The color is probably Cocoa. Taupe would be much lighter and with no red tones.

It looks like a great bag - too bad they didn't make the strap a lot longer
