Guys what is the style of this bag I bought?

http://m.ebay.com/itm/321579669906?txnId=0

It has a ring lit opening for a strap but only on one side! Hmm! Any help would be great!! Thank you!!

It looks like some kind of clutch. I don't see any strap mountings and I doubt if it's much bigger than 10x7. But it's hard to pin it down since the seller couldn't even be bothered to post any measurements.

Yes it is huge! I can get exact measurements, but using a smaller ruler, it was about 15in.. It is huge! The seller did not show very good pictures! Here is a pic of the strap mount: plmk! Thank you!!

Would you recommend pricing it at $150? It is in excellent condition, but has several stains on inner lining.

Wow, that's a REALLY nice bag. I would keep it.

Personally, I would feel icky selling something for $150 that I got for one tenth of that, but that's just me. I would just keep it, personally. *shrug*

But I found a similar one on Ebay selling for about $110, but it was in better condition. I would say you should probably try to sell yours for around $70-$80, but that's just my opinion, make of it what you will.

I still don't know what it is, but it's probably from the 1970s. At 15 inches it would most likely be some kind of business clutch or portfolio.. The closure is like the one on the old Buckled Pouch and Saddle Pouches but it's not a purse - anything that large with a strap attachment only on one side wouldn't be very useful or comfortable as a handbag.

"On the rehab thread, she said it was 15 inches long."

I didn't know there were more posts on another thread, thanks. I hope that anyone who cross-posts remembers to post links to any other threads on the same subject they may have posted somewhere else on this site.

Sooo. I purchased another Phoebe off Ebay. I like the bag, but I'm not happy about the gashes in the leather that the seller mentioned as "tiny scratches." She did not post accurate pictures showing the actual damage.

I'm wondering whether Coach would be willing to fix that (no, I shall not mention Ebay) and also, whether I'm wrong for doing the nicest thing (from my point of view) possible and simply leaving her no feedback at all. I want to keep the bag, but I'm not happy enough with the condition of the bag to leave her a positive. The listing states that it was "used for one day." What I guess she forgot to mention was that she used it for one day after the previous owner who gave it to her scratched it up, which is exactly why she didn't want it and made quite a bit of money off me for it. She included a handwritten card asking me for feedback which I found extremely phony and frankly quite rude. I'm afraid she might go ballistic if I don't leave feedback. Ugh. I'll just pretend I forgot and avoid her, I think.

I realize a lot of people here don't agree with buying Coach from Ebay, but I did. I also bought one other small Coach bag, but I may be done with Coach on Ebay after this. First a broken zipper pull, then scratches that the seller lied about. I hope my other bag turns out okay, but it was used, so I don't know.

I think I might stick to authorized sellers from now on, even if it means paying more.
