Those measurements are consistent with the large courier pouch. Some earlier versions of this style had solid brass stamped on the buckles. I think they quickly realized that large buckles like this are too heavy when made of solid brass.

I don't have the exact style number but it looks like other items made in the mid 90s. The color is probably mahogany.
It might be a Metropolitan Brief bag #5180. Probably mahogany. It is easier to tell color after rehabbing.

Here's a color name question. So here is a picture of four of my babies: a Soho Bleeker in British Tan, a Willis in Olive (I think), an Ergo Flap in Mahogany (I think) and a Soho Belted pouch in what is this color called? The flash makes it look much more lemony than in real life. To the naked eye, the color resembles marigold, mustard or maybe caramel. The bag was manufactured in 1997, if that helps. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
There was a tangerine in 1997 but it was a lot more orange than your picture shows.Here's a color name question.

Thanks but that is not it. Did Coach ever call any color Ochre? That's what this resembles from my old set of Cray-Pas, if anyone remembers those. Of the old Crayola colors, it is closest to Goldenrod.

It helps if we can see a photo of the actual creed. The time of year when it was made or the season it was made FOR can make a big difference in identifying the color.
There's always a chance that it was a limited availability color, or one made for a specific retailer or for the outlets. And of course, the chance of it not being genuine if it wasn't authenticated.
There were also several early 1998 colors that might appear in a bag made in late '97, Yellow and Toffee. Toffee was available on some Soho styles, see the picture below.

So I don't have any information on this bag except I purchased this at macys. It was returned and the only one left. What I found out from another tpfer (thank you!!!) Is that it's made specifically for macys.
Does that mean it's lesser quality than the FP bags? I returned my stanton and saw this... it was fp at first but the SA gave me 25% off? I'm new to coach so I can't figure out for myself. Please help! Although it was on sale, if the hardware or leather is less than FP I may have to return it. Any help is much appreciated! I can't Google this bag because I don't know the model name !
Thanks ladies!

It's a Minetta. I don't know if it is lesser quality. They have made Minettas for full price and factory, both. I don't know which type they made for Macy's, or if they made this exact bag for factory. There are a bunch on ebay that look like they all have the M in the creed, like yours, so this exact style number might have only been made for Macy's. That doesn't mean that it isn't identical or nearly identical to other Minettas.

Thanks so much, Hyacinth. I did not know that Coach colors could vary by time of year, but it makes sense that they would. The bag was authenticated here a couple of months ago. And Toffee is indeed its (very cheery and striking) color.
