Thanks. That does help to narrow it down as "Legacy Turnlock satchel"- would it be considered rare though? My limited knowledge on Coach can't figure out what's the significance of the crystal hangtag (reason why I love the bag)

That eBay listing though....that bag looks fake or been dragged thru hell. And I thought I abuse mine bad.

Ha! I didn't look at it very closely but yeah, the exposed piping - yikes! The rest of it would probably look a lot better with some conditioning. Why are 11 ppl watching it?

About your bag though - I wonder...aren't some of the overseas bags not released in the US? Maybe that's why it's hard to find.
 
Hello,
I believe this bag is a Lenox bag rather than a Kent bag but I'm not positive as the serial number is in the pre-1994 XXXX-XXX format. The dimensions provided by the seller was 12.5" wide x 9.5" tall.

Can you confirm that is the Lenox? Also, do you happen to know which years the Lenox design was being sold?

Thanks in advance!

It looks like a Lenox. Here's a catalog pic from 1993:

Maybe. I've been looking at local market and we don't have a lot of turnlock satchels in the first place, especially for resell. Now to sell or to keep mine. Bagaholics problems.

Tq again.

I don't think the name was Legacy Turnlock satchel. I think it was something like Leather Pocket satchel. I've found a few similar styles but nothing in gold. It might have been a limited edition or only released in your country. I think it could be rare. The dustbags with the red edging are probably the right ones.

Thank you.
Maybe I'll keep it after all

It was one of the Small Pocket Satchels but I don't think it was sold in the US in metallic leather. Below are 2 versions for the US market in Python, style 8A84 and Calfskin, style 1445. The Python version sold here in the US looks like it might have had a special metal hangtag like the metallic one sold in Malaysia. Both were probably very limited, the Python version sold for 1900 dollars US..

Thanks.
Would it be fair to say those with metal crystal tags are limited edition bags?

I remember paying RM2000 for it. So it was about USD 700-900 then. I appreciate the reply! Now I'm falling in love with it again.

I can't say for sure that they were Limited Editions but they probably at least "limited availability" meaning only available in a few stores, and were the most expensive bags in that particular line. I remember a few other bags that had the same special hangtags and they usually had top of the line leathers, trim details or fabrics and were what I would call "special occasion" bags. While I haven't found the bag, there IS a Pewter Metallic Mini Skinny that matches it in the January 2006 catalog "available February selected stores".

For instance here are listings for several US styles that had the same crystal hangtags, notice the crystal-studded buckles:

and

They were made for the 2005-06 Christmas and New Year holiday season, probably almost the same time as the metallic leather bag from Malaysia. Often the smaller bags included a special dustbag that was usually white satin with a lavender patch or label.

Hi, figured I join, because I think you might be able to help. Found a bag in our local charity shop. It was in a bin of things marked "Everything 50p" (Im in ENgland) The leather and fittings screamed quality, so even though it was in a bit of a state, I purchased it. My first thought was COACH! but there is no creed inside. Now, I know they didn't start with creeds and serial numbers until the late 60s or so...and it doesn't matter if it isn't Coach, I love COach, but for 50pence, I wasn't leaving a bag of this quality!! :biggrin:

I've took some photos....what do you think? DSC_0145.JPG DSC_0146.JPG DSC_0147.JPG DSC_0148.JPG DSC_0149.JPG

He, and welcome to the Purse Forum.

It looks like a Companion Bag from the 1980s, but there should be a Coach stamp or creed to verify that it's authentic. Is there anything at all stamped on the inside slip pocket? You may have to pull the pocket out to see it clearly.

Nothing on the pocket...lol...first thing I check when I got home. Like I said, I didn't buy it as a Coach bag.....the leather is gorgeous, and the brass fittings are quality.....couldn't go wrong for 50p. lol
