I'm a 1957 vintage, and would LOVE to find that Summer Garden wallet in blue.Yes, while looking through my files yesterday for ads I found a few other old ones. (who else here remembers the 10 percent Federal excise tax on what were considered "luxury goods" back then?)
These are supposed to be from 1958. Hope they enlarge OK. Several of the Womens' wallets are really pretty.

I work at a school so the state allocated doses of J&J for us. I got it 8 hours ago and am starting to feel very lethargic now.
Yes, I can't find a catalog pic of your bag, but I believe it belongs to this line, or as I call it, family lol of bags. There were a bunch of bags made with the same top stitching design, called "Bleeker -fill in the blank" , with style numbers that began with 930- and 931-. This was the late '90s. An easy way to tell is look at the bottom border of you back pack and the bags in the catalog pic, if you can enlarge it, and you will see what I mean. Coach had already come out with other lines, as you probably know, like Madison, Dakota etc. So I believe your bag belongs to this grouping and the catalog pic of camel does not do your bag justice, although I took those pics on the fly. I posted mine somewhere. I picked it up for $5 at a flea market, mainly to see if I could remove a big water stain. I couldn't bring back the color though.
I don't agree with all of it.Here is a somewhat helpful guide to the Coach creed timeline.

Coach has been making high-quality leather goods since its inception in 1941. There is a rich and interesting history to the company and its beginnings.www.sacsmagnifiques.com
lol! I'm glad there is someone here older than me! Coach started in 1941, so you could potentially find something made when you were born, but you would never know since they weren't clearly labeled. I'm too old for Bonnie Cashin, so I've never tried to find anything from my birth year, but I have tried to remember the bags I bought when I first started working, and get another. The only picture I have is so blurry I can't tell what style it is. I suspect I had a long handled skinny flight bag. I got one a few years ago but didn't hang onto it.
I hope you feel fine soon.
Saw some people on reddit talking about the J&J shot. They said they felt tired & achy afterwards. Hope you feel better soon
That one is beautiful! I wonder how many survived the years.
How silly of me. Of course I knew that Coach started in 1942! Oh well, just another senior moment.
