Thank you so much, so a Crescent it is, from the 80s? Before they stamped the numbers?



I gather Made in England was not the norm? Here are the pictures. Both buckles have the same engraving.

I thought (assumed) yours might be an after market replacement. But it can't be. I just bought a bag with the same Creed stamp with no serial numbers. So it was made at the same time in the NYC factory. The buckles on my bag are also solid brass and both says MADE IN ENGLAND! [emoji2962]

Thanks! It's from the mid 70s, since it doesn't have a serial number.
I may have seen Made in England before and didn't save it. Most that I've seen say solid brass with or without USA. I think there might have been once recently in the AT thread with Made in England, but I couldn't read it.

After being authenticated by our kind experts, I would like to ask about this Vintage Bonnie Cashin. Any info on name, time period... would be appreciated. I am familiar with the "swing bags" but not this one, it seems to be a version of them.

You might try looking through the UCLA Online Bonnie Cashin Digital Archive, see link below, to see if you can spot a similar bag:

Thank you, it looks like it will take awhile to check it out, LOL

In the meantime, following a Pinterest pin to a similar bag, I got to an old post by Cameochi in this forum, of the same bag but with the metal plaque, and she called it a sorta suspender bag.

The picture shows the bag with a hang tag, so may I ask (and sorry if this was answered many times before), when Coach started to add them to their bags? Was it after the Bonnie Cashin designs? Just curious, the hang tags are such an staple of the brand IMO.

The hangtags (and also the creed patches) came after Bonnie Cashin's time at Coach, but Coach did re-release and modify various versions of Cashin bags over the years; so maybe your bag is an original Cashin suspender bag?

Thanks for adding to the mystery katev, LOL

No, seriously... I love to research and learn about all the Coach history and stuff, I find it fascinating, so real thanks. If one day I find the name I will certainly share. :smile:

Sometimes people added hangtags later. According to Sacs Magnifiques, the hangtag was first used in the early 70s. That sounds like you could get a later Bonnie Cashin with an original hangtag, but I don't know if that is true. Before that, there were the baseball tags. Every ad I've seen for Bonnie Cashin designs never showed a hangtag nor a baseball tag.

Thank you whateve, that's what I read too, about the baseball tags being used first, but I have never seen one on a purse.

View attachment 4320704 Hello Coach experts. Having trouble identifying this bag...found the name before but can’t seem to find now. It’s made in Philippines but no ID code. Could someone kindly ID? Thanks

If I understand the authenticators correctly, if there is an inside pocket, look way down inside toward the bottom of the seams for a little tag. Try Googling the words Coach bag with the number on the second line and see what comes up in the search, and it may confirm a style in the above post.
