Good evening everyone,
I am hoping someone can ID the style number and name for this bag. The dimensions are 11" x 8" x 3" and the creed is 1588-326, made in the United States. As you can see, it looks sort of like two bags combined into one and the carrying strap is set between the two main sections. The inside of the zippered section has an open pocket inside. It's an interesting bag and I've searched but cannot find another like it nor can I find it in my catalogs. As always, any information will be greatly appreciated.

That's interesting! It's like a cross between a basic bag and a twin clutch. I've never seen anything like it.

Thanks, Whateve. Me either! It's a bit like a Taft but definitely not a Taft. I guess I will check around again later and see if I can find anything out about it.


I just posted some photos of the suede slim tote on the Photos and Chat thread.

Can you post a photo of the actual creed and serial number? I can't find anything on it but it helps to see the creed and number so I can narrow down the time period.

Here are two photos of the actual creed. I sharpened it so it can be read as the original is hard to see clearly.

Darn, I still can't find it. Maybe if Tetondeb checks this thread she might be able to ID it.

It reminds me of the Twin Clutch #9380 too but that style was discontinued some time around 1987 while the creed wording and serial number on this one point to it being from some time between around 1990 and 1993. I've checked my digital and paper catalogs from 1989 to 1994 and can't find anything that matches, so it must have only been made for a short time. The creed looks ok but the bag itself is a mystery.

Thanks, for trying, Hyacinth. I have an email in to Tetondeb on another item so maybe she will know what this one is too. I wish there were catalogs available for the bags that probably started in the 60s and 70s. I have a feeling this bag goes way back but was still in production when mine was made.

The style definitely feels like a bag from the 70s or very early 80s, doesn't it? One possibility is that it's a re-release of a style from that time period that may have been made for Coach's 50th Anniversary in 1991. I have one catalog from that year with a few Retro styles but this isn't one of them. It might have been from a few months earlier or later than the Retro Collection 1991 catalog I have, but maybe Tetondeb might recognise it or the original.

You're welcome! It's pretty rare. I've only seen it 3 times. I wonder if it is camel or yellow? Show pictures when you get it.

Good Morning, Whateve. The seller says "tan" so my guess is that it's actual camel. I would have loved for it to be in mustard. There is another one out on eBay in dark brown but three times what I paid for mine. I love the design of the bag and I can hardly wait to get it. I will post some photos when it arrives.

BTW I posted photos of the suede slim tote on the Vintage photos and chat thread last night. That is one bag that will be kept safe in it's sleeper sack. :-)

It is my opinion that is probably fake. The style looks similar to a Hadley but as far as I know, none of the pre-1994 bags had the Coach imprint on the front, and none of them would have used the word "Leather" rather than "Leatherware." I don't think the word "Coach" is in the correct font.

Hi. I believe this is a Kristin Sage(?). I have seen it on a preloved site and thinking of buying. What was the original retail price and what is a decent second-hand price? Thanks.
