Or.. something else entirely.. ;)
In my posession, a thrift shop find..

Leash clip strap
No back pocket
Early US Coach Creed #1153-130

Thanks as always!

It's a convertible clutch. The city bag has a half flap and sewn on strap.

Hello, I'm a little unsure about this bag I just picked up, since I can't find much information on it. It looks just like this ebay item, except my bag has the ID L8C - 6807.

Whenever I do a search for Coach Sonoma Crossbody Black Leather Pebbled etc, I get lots of different results... like bags with a flap, or flat bottom. I don't see hardly any pics of the bags that look like mine! Thanks for reading~:smile1:

That's because it's NOT a Sonoma and Coach never described it as a Crossbody. You should have been looking for the 4-digit style number 6807 instead. Don't ever expect Ebay sellers to know the correct name or age of a Coach or what line it came from. The educated sellers may, but too many of the others don't. There are two others recently listed on Ebay and at least one of them is also described incorrectly.

That bag is from the Hudson line, not the Sonoma line. Not all pebbled leather bags were Sonomas. Sonomas were discontinued before the Hudsons were released. The correct name is Hudson Small Zip and technically it's not vintage either since it was made in 1998. Vintage implies that the bag is at least 20 years old.

Any idea of approximate age?

I am no Hyacinth or Whateve but the first catalog I can find is 1993. I've attached a photo from the catalog for you. Of course, depending on what the creed says, yours could be much later. One nice thing about 1994 and later is that the creed tells exactly when a bag was made and the style number. I get totally lost with the bags after 2000 though. Hope this helps a little.

I have an catalog picture dated 1989 for this style.

All Lightweights are going to be from 1989 on. Some of the styles continued past 1994 and became part of the Soho line. Style 4153, the Soho Bleecker bag, is very similar to the Lightweights bucket bag.

Good Afternoon everyone,


I just purchased this bag made in NYC but I have no idea what the style name or number might be if it even has one. I've attached a link so you will have the information you need. Any info will be greatly appreciated. :-)

We talked about this style in the Vintage chat thread. Since I first posted it, I think we've seen 3 or 4. It's an organizer pouch #9645. Here's a 1978 catalog picture.

Early Lightweights can go back to the middle of 1987. That's when the line was introduced.
