It's a Lightweights bucket bag 4075. It probably has a made in the United States creed with a unique serial number.

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.

OK, Apologies Whateve! I don't know how I can confuse a tortoise and a canine. Thanks for your initial response and the additional information (and catalogue pic)!

Cameochi, TY for responding and the catalogue page. I love to look at the old catalogues.
And great new bag! I LOVE that style. So elegantly straightforward. COVETING!:drool:

Thanks for always helping, ladies! Much appreciated.

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

Thanks. I didn't realize that. I don't think I've ever seen one with a NYC creed.

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.

Isn't it funny how they all come out of the woodwork at once. I missed out on one this morning but the seller is very nice and told me about the one I bought which will be a much easier rehab. Thanks again, Whateve. :-)

You're welcome! I posted the catalog picture and asked if anyone had seen it. No one recognized it but right after that, we saw 3 of them. There must have been others earlier but no one ever asked to get one authenticated and I personally never saw one. Maybe when you get it, you can post comparison pictures to the classic pouch.

I have a tiny leather crossbody Coach purse that was handed down to me by my mom several years ago. I have no idea how old it is but am curious to learn more about it especially since it's one of my faves. Here's a few pix:

Inside the flap...it also has an inner zip pocket

The paragraph that says Made In The United States. Sorry it's a little unclear, I had to stick my phone into the bottom & use the flash to get all the words legible

And for a size comparison I always keep my LV cles clipped to the inner zip tab. It's my only purse that can't fit my wallet so I'll transfer an ID/debit card into the cles when I wear my mysterious mini Coach ❤️

Thanks so much in advance if anyone can tell me anything about my lil cutie!
