I thought I'd pop back to add a bit more confusion (and more proof of Coach's inconsistency) to the mix.

The similar style with different snap tab that Hyacinth posted is a larger signature print so I'm not sure that one is comparable IMO, but check this out.

BOTH are 60551, both have card pockets on just one side (as does @mrk2014's) but they have their pockets and ID windows on opposite sides from each other! (And their ID windows are slightly different sized than each other.)

Interesting! I just dug a little deeper into my wallet bin (and changed my "loose" bags from winter to summer styles - YEAH !!!) and found another 60551, this one's in Magenta and still has the little security strip in it so it must be newer than the others. It's the only one with the ID window and cc slots on the left side instead of the right. The leather on the inside feels different too, the probably newer Magenta one has a cheaper feel, the leather doesn't feel as smooth as on the other two.

They're all stamped Made In China with the outlet mark but the quality of leather isn't the same. (And the ID window is slightly crooked.) :biggrin:

Thank you Hyacinth for adding to the confusion (I mean extra info) in this subject, LOL

I really appreciate all you ladies help. If the Coach Archive is in NYC, the Coach knowledge depository is here, in this forum ;)

Hello, was hoping someone might be able to help me identify this bag. I just love it! I’ve tried searching online but can’t find it. :(

I've had this bag in my rehab pile for ages, but I don't know what it is called. It's about 12" x 8" x 4" at the base with a 17" strap drop.

Neat looking! And not just because it’s BT! Cool find.

The early 90’s must have been an interesting time for the designers at Coach. I guess from a business standpoint they were booming. As you can see, I am completely fascinated by the designs. Like they were swapping out elements of everything. Regularly.
It’s like they took the double dowel opening and long straps from the Barclay and combined it with the brass stud handle attachment of the Carriage House group. Then zipped it up like the Bedford brief case.
Maybe they thought there was a lot going on with two dowels and a zipper and let it go. I think the Weston, with the scaled down Barclay vibe was a bit later.

I'm also fascinated by the Coach designs of that time period. In addition to the ones you've called out, I can see the Logan in the shape of the body of the Hanover.

I'm adding the Hanover to my list of dowel styles.Thanks @coach943 and @whateve!

It's a Hanover bag. I don't have any other information about it. Coach made an archival version around 2012.

Thank you! I haven't see them very often, but I really like the dowels and the length of the strap.

I did some poking around and came up with some examples of the Legacy Archival Hanover, style #22405:

and

ETA: I can't tell if the second one is authentic
