I think it's a Sling Bag, 9710. It was discussed on here a few years ago. You may want to ask Hyacinth or one of the wiser ones among us to cross-check with their files.

Sounds like you wiser than I am! Or at least your files are better organized. I looked through my photos and found these, saved as "9710_Sling Bag, early-mid-80s, 9x6 inches":

I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner but I am not always around my desktop and have been busy getting work done around the house.




40612 Chelsea Leather Accordion Zip Around Wallet. Sold for $85-110 (inc 6% tax) or so at the outlets back in February and July 2008.

This is a thrift find I just picked up, and I was wondering if it was some sort of Peyton wristlet?

Hi. I know this isn't the right thread but I do not know where else to ask this question. I have been looking at vintage coach bags and saw a few bags that look so similar but each with different name. May I know if Stewardess, Ramblers, Legacy Trail, mailman pouch, messenger crossbody are actually the same design? Thanks so much for any information.

No they aren't. If you are looking on reselling sites like ebay, there are a lot of uninformed sellers who will use whichever name will bring views. Bags made after 1994 will have the style number in the creed. You'll be able to tell a bag was made after 1994 if the first digit of the creed is a letter.

Other than that, you'll have to ask about each listing. You might want to do that in the Authenticate thread so we can authenticate at the same time.

"Messenger crossbody" isn't a style name at all; it's just a description. A stewardess can't be worn crossbody so probably would never be described this way. There is a Rambler and a Rambler's Legacy and many people get one confused with the other. To my knowledge, there was never a bag called "mailman pouch." There is a "Legacy small flap bag" that is incorrectly called a trail bag 9 times out of 10, and there is really a Trail bag that looks nothing like it.

Feel free to ask questions of this nature in the Vintage Chat thread. You can look through that thread to see photos of various vintage styles. We also have a reference library that has some photos of vintage styles.

Hi. Welcome to TPF!

The bag looks good. There should be a tag inside the inside pocket with a serial number on it. Coach stopped putting serial numbers on its creeds (for bags that would normally have serial numbers) about a year ago.

FYI, zipper brand has absolutely nothing to do with authenticity. Authentic Coaches can have any of several zipper brands on them since Coach has used multiple brands of zippers over the years. Additionally, most fakes have zippers marked with YKK and even YKK zippers are faked.

For future authenticity requests, please post here and refer to post #1 for the posting format and information needed:

Thank you! I found the serial number where you said I would, here is the picture! Also, I've included a picture of the tag (which is usually leather, never seen them in metal).

I'm certainly learning a lot! BTW, do you happen to know the name/style of this bag?!
