I had a version of the outlet bag. It was really cute. The leather was pretty nice.

It's a scout bag #9890 made in the early 90s
It does have a good springtime look. I ended up bidding on the lot so I'll hopefully get to see it in person soon.
There was no name in any of my files for it when I authenticated it the other day. That's why it looks like there's something missing from the reply I posted - "The bag is a genuine and made in 2003".
There are photos two similar totes with style numbers on either side of 5188 in my files and both of them are just saved as "unknown leather tote" so I hope someone might have a name to help you ID it and help me fill a gap in my records. Maybe I'll mosey on over to the Wayback to see if it will cooperate. Sherman, set the timer for 2003...
ETA - no luck so far with the Wayback. I'll go back through the previous year. It could have been an Outlet item too, the two close ones in my photo files both have outlet stamps. It's similar to the Metro Soft Business Tote but that's style 5332 and has slightly different strap handles with hardware rings where the straps meet the body of the tote.
There are quite a few pictures of the bag from different sites but no official name that I can find, just a lot of guesses. The only way to know the official name is from a price tag or catalog or website photo. Without a tag, you can probably pick any name you like, Large Leather Tote covers all bases. I doubt very much if Coach would have called it a Shoulder Shopper Tote.

I think you all do great work and help each other...but I have to admit..BeenBurned is awesome seaching out the truth.Thanks, but I'm just a bloodhound, BeenBurned is the real detective here.
Need help identifying this bag. Must be vintage because it does not have a style number on the creed. I do know it is authentic.
It's NOT vintage. Vintage means 20 years old or more, and right now almost no fabric Signature bags are vintage since the Sig Cs just were introduced in 2000. This one isn't nearly that old, the C designs and zipper hardware point to a bag made within the last 6 years or so, possibly for the outlets.
Many small bags DON'T have creeds or serial numbers, and Coach stopped putting the style numbers and the serial number on the creed patch between 2014 and 2017. If it has a creed patch, post a photo. Also post a clear readable photo of the stamping, numbers and letters, on the "male" part of the magnetic snap.
The style number and production codes are probably on a small white tag buried all the way on the bottom seam of the largest or zippered inside pocket. Grope areound for it, it has 2 lines of letters and numbers. Post a photo.
And please tell us why you know it's genuine.

Love the Wayback!!! I was pretty sure that was not the name either. Maybe someone here will recognize it and know. Thank you so much for all you do to help us aficionados out!!
If you are sure it is authentic, it is probably a Madison Phoebe. Probably this one: https://coach.tingtingchen.com/coac...le=COACH f36184&color= LIGHT GOLD/KHAKI/BROWNNeed help identifying this bag. Must be vintage because it does not have a style number on the creed. I do know it is authentic.
It was made sometime in the last 5 years, definitely not vintage. Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds for awhile a few years ago. It might be on a small label sewn inside the seam of the inside pocket. You'll have to pull the pocket out to find it.
