WT has always stood for White AFAIK. That goes back to at least the 1990s and probably much earlier.

As for the possible LU on the handwritten tag, there's nothing in my color codes (which should be pretty complete at least up to around 2010) for an LU code. PQ was the code for Pool.

I know! Lol! I was trying to figure out what the LIL/LU writer meant. But since it is on hand writing, I don't trust it. I am making a guess that the original WT is correct and stands for Wisteria. Here's a blue Chinese Wisteria that I think your bag looks like.

I have a 2010 Wisteria Sophia, which is sort of a purple gray. That doesn't mean anything because Coach reuses color names.

Here is a discussion and pics about Japanese colors including a Willis with silver hardware and a (lighter/brighter than navy) blue color. They suggest that it may be SV RY and that RY may stand for Royal Blue. Perhaps your bag is a little dry and it will turn royal blue if you apply conditioner? It does look a bit darker around the edges; azure is another guess. No matter what the shade, it's gorgeous!

Z18396?
Is this enough to identify? I'm not finding this style number.
Sellers measurements are 17 x 11 x 5

A Z before a style number means it was made for a discount retailer. I have a similar style #12362, made in 2008, which was called a Bleecker tote. That lining was used in Garcia bags. I know many of those were made for discount retailers. I haven't seen this particular tote.

It looks like an organizer pouch, if the measurements are the ones listed in the catalog picture: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/vintage-coach-photos-chat.857690/page-537#post-31501448

Here's mine: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/vintage-coach-photos-chat.857690/page-537#post-31502309

That's definitely it, coach943. Thank you! Any idea what year that catalog is from? I like the worn rugged look, but this bag is pretty beat up.

I have that catalog from 1978.
