Probably a Taylor zip from late 1993. It is very similar to the Swagger but just a little smaller and with only one curved pocket.

Thanks so much! I am hoping she cleans up well.... heading over to the Rescue/Rehab thread with my new knowledge. Hopefully I'll have some makeover pics soon!
 
It is slightly sueded which is why it is so soft. I think it was called sparkle suede. It is very delicate. I have it in a bag in this leather. Mine is from 2011. The first day I carried it, it got spots, some of which magically disappeared by the next day. I sprayed mine with Shining Monkey or Scotchguard, I can't remember which, and it hasn't gotten any more spots.


Thank you for the info! 👍 Wow! A bag made of this leather sounds dreamy, lol! After you sprayed your bag, was it still as wonderfully soft? I'm considering spraying my little phone case but I don't want to change the texture of the leather. Do you think Apple Rain & Stain Repellent is a safe bet?
 
I love this leather, so pretty. I saw it called Sparkle Leather also, but I think it was called a few names over the 3-4 years it was made (about 2009 -2012?) and it was considered a metallic leather, and Coach was into metallic leather during this time.


Thank you, Katierose! So, this particular type of leather was created and used exclusively by Coach? and does not have an official name?

It is still wonderfully soft. I think Apple is probably fine but I have never used it so I can't say for sure. I think my bag is adorable. :D

This bag is beautiful. I think you could open a museum showcasing all your beautiful bags, wallets, key fobs, hangtags. I haven't seen one thing of yours that I don't like. Now give this one to me! lol;)
 
I am hoping someone can help identify this bag and its approximate age. It belonged to my mother and she carried it for many years. It sat in its dust bag for years and when she died I had to keep it because it reminds me so much of her. However, I can't find any information on the bag.

The number inside the bag is: 0392 224

It is a navy blue bag lined with leather with two slip pockets an done long zip pocket. It is made in the US.

For bags with random serial numbers we need measurements in order to identify. It looks like it could be a Riverside bag #4118 from the West End Lightweights collection, made around 1992, if it is about 11 x 7 x 4 inches. I'm sorry, I don't have a catalog photo.

According to my measurements it is approximately 11 x 7 x5. I did some further research and according to the way the serial number is written it is much older than that. The serial number is N with a very small 0 elevated with a . beneath the small zero. then a space and 0392 another space with 224.
According to their information it would list it as a bag made in the 70's after Bonnie Cashin left Coach. Thanks for checking for me. I appreciate it.

I went back and read that again and I am confused as mine doesn't follow exactly what they say. Mine also says Made in the United States

I'm not sure what guides you are using. We recommend the Salearea guides: http://search.reviews.ebay.com/members/salearea_W0QQcpnameZmembersQQprZsaleareaQQuqtZg because there are a lot of guides out there with incorrect information. Because the creed of yours says "Made in the United States", that means it was made after 1988. Because the format of the number is xxxx-xxx, rather than xxx-xxxx, i.e. 4 digits before the dash, that indicates it was made between 1990 - 1993. Since the style was produced in 1992 and only made for a short time, I'm confident that your bag was made close to that date.
