I'll take a guess since no one's answered:
Julia Patina Signature Swingpack in Khaki/Gold? There's another color, too. I think it's F46744. I couldn't find any working links, only images

ETA: the other color is more silver/platinum like your pic but all the images were from unreliable sources

Thank you so very much! I guess it is real at least. I still might try to find another one. I love small crossbodies for daily use, I keep my nicer bags for weekends or occasions, and then the ones to collect. Gosh! I love that Coach has something for everything, my wallet doesn't! LOL

Good afternoon experts. I once had one of these (long gone), but seemingly never noted either its proper name or style number in my files; a circumstance that continues to offend my OCD about meticulous recordkeeping. Would greatly appreciate it it could be identified so that I can complete the blanks in my historicals. As always, thanks in advance.

Anyone have a catalog description of the regular wetpack style 5020? I only have the dimensions and a pic reference. Measurements match roughly.

Is this it? Mine is fully lined with striped cotton which is fully covered by plastic liner! 1490304550646.jpeg1490304569489.jpeg

I just show it as a Bleecker Year of the Horse set from January 2014.

I've always wondered about the horse's position on that keychain, maybe one of our horsewomen can answer. Be gentle with me and please don't laugh because i'm a city gal and NOT a rider - when both of the horse's legs are completely off the ground in what looks like a walking gait on that keychain (based on the neck and tail being almost vertical), why doesn't the horse just fall over??? Inquiring minds really DO want to know. Or is it supposed to be trotting?

Thank you so much for the help. I really wanted to make sure it was authentic since I have never seen it before. Sorry I can't help you with any info about the horse. :)

I'm not a horsewoman, but I did grow up on a farm and went to my fair share of harness racing growing up. It looks to me like the horse is what is a called a pacer (as opposed to a trotter). Pace is the name of the gait the horse is using. I think pacers are faster than trotters in harness racing. The harness actually helps stabilize pacers to keep them from falling. I think the fast speeds at which they race also probably keep them from falling over.

Here's an old video that shows the difference:



Now I really want to go to the races!

Thank you! I saw a listing for one just like mine but didn't look like it had the plastic liner. Also, I thought the description meant the cotton was treated with something. So am I looking at a different style or a different version of this?

Since it's called a Wetpack, I'm guessing that's because of the clear plastic liner. The regular cosmetic cases don't have that. Other than that, I don't know, it's half my age, I've never owned one, and all I know about it is what's in the catalog, which isn't much.

Yep, I see the difference, momentum keeps them upright once they get up to one of the trotting or running gaits. I grew up close to Sportsmans and Hawthorne racetracks, so we always got a few minutes of racing film on the nightly news, mostly the harness meetings And I'm just being a PITA for the helluvit, because it still looks to me that the poor critter on the charm is walking, otherwise its tail would be streaming out behind it (although maybe trotters and pacers have their tails held down somehow so the driver doesn't keep getting smacked in the face with a tail-full of horsehair). All my real-time race-watching experience has been with thoroughbreds rather than standardbreds.

And thanks for explaining! :smile:
