Back again, this time I am looking for a history lesson, I believe the bag is authentic Bonnie Cashin (or too bad because I bought it already)....
I do not know if there was a proper name/style number for it, I have seen some available before with the straps in leather, so... were some older than others or just variations from the same time period? I always liked these bags, definitely fit my quest for the unusual vintage Coach, but not till now I could find one cheap. :biggrin: It is navy blue, perfect corners and has all the 4 protective feet at the bottom.

Yes, it is authentic. A style similar to yours with the chains was sold for $18 in 1969. Earlier models had a Bonnie Cashin tag in addition to or in place of the Coach tag and didn't have the dark lines in between the stripes. Yours was made either in the late 60s or early 70s. The style was called a swing bag. Later versions and a re-released version had leather straps.

Thank you much once more Whateve! I love to learn the details about these bags. So although not the oldest version, mine is one of the older ones, because those with leather straps came later, nice!
I paid more than $18 though, LOL
I will ask for advice on the Rehab thread on how to improve it, if possible. I certainly do not want to mess this one up.
