Hello there!

Just wondering if there was a Vintage Coach clutch with a strap like this, or the holes and strap were added later. I have done a search on the forum, and found posts about holes made for the hang tag, but nothing about a longer strap, sorry if I missed them.

Too late to edit, so I am replying to my own post, LOL
I found a couple more on Pinterest, and also an old listing on Etsy (I believe it was), that had it as Convertible Slim Clutch. Dimensions 11 x 9 x 2 inches( it if helps), I guess it is not an added feature by a previous owner, but it was made like that, so now I would love to know the official name and style if possible.

I’ve seen it called a Paperclip bag/clutch. Don’t know if that’s an official name.

I believe it is a Bonnie Cashin design. That is one of the linings she used. It was probably made in the early 70s. I don't have a name for it but it is similar to other Bonnie Cashin designs. I love the adjustable strap. I think this is the earliest bag I've seen that on. It looks like the inspiration for the straps used on Sonomas in the 90s.

Thank you Whateve, I was hoping it is a BC bag, now I am happy.
 
I am trying to find out if the Legacy Thompson Bags were made of vachetta leather? I have just purchased a new-to-me Thompson Julia 11376 and the creed patch just says that it is made of "natural cowhide leather" and "natural full grain leather".

I looked at the creed in my black Legacy Bridget and it just says that it is made of the "finest materials".

I'd like to give this bag a thorough cleaning but I don't want to risk damaging it. I've looked for a description of the Coach Thompson bags on the Wayback Machine but I couldn't find them anywhere; so I'd very much appreciate some insights into the materials used in their construction before I begin rehabbing this lovely bag.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

ETA: I found this in my files. Some Thompson styles were made with vachetta:
