I'm as certain as I can be that the wristlet is absolutely authentic. We know the style number; it's just the name of the style we don't know.
Finding others like it isn't how we determine authenticity and in fact, if that were the case, we'd judge lots of fakes to be authentic.
It's the details, construction, creed/text/fonts being correct, etc. that prove authenticity and your item meets that criteria.
Good investigative work! It sounds like a match to me.
All the Cambridge wristlets that I find are belted at the bottom, not around the top, but they are belted through elongated, metal grommets like the wristlet.
Is anyone familiar with this bag on Tradesy No. 13885? It is listed as a Mahogany Clover Satchel but I thought that the Clovers were Madisons (?) and the round hangtag reminds me of the later Alexandra bags but it has 2 hangtags - a second leather rectangular hangtag. There's another bag like it listed as a Bordeaux Clover Carryall on ebay that shows a pic of the creed and it was definitely made in 2009.
The construction and materials of these Clover bags seem very similar to the mystery wristlet to me although the wristlet only has a metal rectangular hangtag. But the bags have the Coach name in script like the wristlet, it they are also made in 2009, and they have belting near the top through the elongated grommets, see the links and pics below.

Hello again, thanks for your previous suggestions, I found this one that is not in the best shape, but I am confident I can rehab, I have done it before.
Now, question is.... could you please help me identify it. I imagine it is a Market Tote? I couldn't find any with the snaps, so I don't know style number, etc...
Size is about 14.5 x 10 x 3.5 inches. Thank you!

It is a marketing tote. Those snaps were added after market.
Thanks whateve, certainly that could be the reason why I found many Marketing Totes, but not one with the snaps. I have seen all kind of alterations done to vintage bags, so very possible.
But also I have seen a couple "one off" bags, prototypes that were sold to employees. I know of someone that has one (different style), so could that be possible, or totally impossible and someone added the snaps?
I really like it regardless.
I have seen snaps like that a few times on vintage Coach. We really can't know when they were added.Thanks whateve, certainly that could be the reason why I found many Marketing Totes, but not one with the snaps. I have seen all kind of alterations done to vintage bags, so very possible.

I see... a mystery then. I will take it, LOL
Thanks again whateve, I really appreciate all you do in this forum.
Hey all!
I just bought this stained Coach shoulder bag in the hopes I can restore it. From my research I think it is part of the Sheridan collection, but can't find a style name or number - anybody know? Would also WARMLY welcome suggestions on products to remove the oil stain, and/or restore the luster of the bag without darkening the color beyond its original tone!
TIA!

that looks like a Sheridan I haven't found a name for. I would definitely give that bag a bath. There is a chance you can wash off that stain. Visit our rehab club for inspiration. It looks like you've already found that thread.
I ran into a NYC, saddle flap in a thrift shop, pre turn lock, with a snap that was an add on.
I have a Marketing Tote in Mocha and have seen that one in white you purchased. I am fascinated that they offered it in white! There was a Pony in white that got rehabbed, and I recently picked up a NYC Dinky in white. It’s like the dye is almost a layer!
