I'm not sure I'm in the right place, but I can't tell and wanted to see if some of you Nomad owners can identify this? (Or if not, might know what it is!)

Thanks in advance!! View attachment 3940622

Looks like the smaller nomad crossbody model that have the zippered opening. Once you get it, if you need it authenticated, there is a thread for you to post pics and the experts will help you.
 
Can you help with identifying this bag? My mother bought it ~15 yrs ago, she gifted me this one and has another one she uses!
It’s approximately 9.5” height, 9.5” length at the zipper, and 11” across at the widest part of the base.
Thank you!

It looks like a Legacy East Cross Body Zip from 2000.
The Wayback Machine has this page in the archive, but I can't get the individual catalog page for that item .

I've just posted a question in another thread about the new release of Parker bags and the origin of the Parker name for Coach bags, see the link below. Does anyone know why Coach sometimes names bags Parker? Thanks!

Just an FYI, yesterday on Jeopardy there was a answer/question about Barbie's full name! Here is the information:

"The Barbie Doll, introduced in 1959, has a back story: Barbie’s real name is Barbara Millicent Roberts, named after creator Ruth Handler’s real-life daughter."

Coach uses and often RE-uses names based on their personal whims, and re-used names often have no connection at all to other styles that use the same line name, like Madison. Names are meaningless anyway, style numbers are the only way to connect bags or lines.

Hyacinth, I thought I remembered you referring to a "Janice" and a "Patricia" for whom those styles were named.

I hope they never come up with a "Melania" bag!

Tp the very best of my knowledge, the only time Coach style names were specifically connected with actual people was the 1994 American Legacy line like the Janice's Legacy, Patricia's Legacy, etc, the introductory catalog page is below.

Kipling says they name their bags after company employees but that's the only company that I've heard that claim from.

(JMO, but as for the person mentioned in your post, under other circumstances she might have my sympathy. But to paraphrase the old song,
"She knew darned well he was a snake
When she took him in")

I know, it ticks me off that my Dark Denim Rogue has a non-specific, bogus number on the creed patch and a different, specific number on the inner tag.

It should tick EVERYBODY off. Those stupid serial number games have caused nothing but confusion among potential buyers and caused problems for legitimate resellers as well. And based on a few posts of recent sales, they're STILL doing it in some bags.

(In my best Basil Fawlty voice) "So what's the point?... WHAT IS THE BLOODY POINT?????"

Don't forget who the Bonnie bags were named for!
