I have one of these. It's tabac i think. Unfortunately it's covered it speckley spots that may be mold damage. Makes me sad but it's one of the only metal tag bags in my collection.Check out this bag. Reminds me of the old west saddle bags. I haven’t seen one before.

I love my one in Granite...such a elegant bag.
Congratulations, I love Carlyle bags! They are both elegant and practical and they are a great shape and size. I have a red one and a black one. Your new bag looks to be in fantastic condition!
Be careful, the Italian Wing of the Coach Purse Family has a tendency to grow!

What is the name of this style?My new to me 4020! She looks tiny but actually fits so much!!
Thank you @Coachaddict4020 for putting this style on my radar, and thank you @BeenBurned for the authentication!!

Based on the 1988 catalog it is called the “Drawstring Sac Small”.
I recently purchased 2 gorgeous bags in camel which were authenticated in the AT by the lovely seller. A Legacy Zip 9966 (D plant USA, 2000) and a Janice 9950 (Costa Rica K4P - likely 2004 with a mistake in the creed and not 1994). The colours are both stunning, but VERY different. The Janice looks more like putty or stone as you can see in the photo below, although she does have nickel hardware.
Does anyone know what colours Janice was offered in in 2004? (I already have a mystery blue and burnished denim blue).
Many thanks for any information!
This is how different they are:

Thanks. It's so fricken cute. I think it's the little pocket that gets me.
I just received this bag. It's in amazing condition. It's a kisslock to open into the body of the purse. I've asked for authentication on the "authenticate this Coach thread." No answer yet. In the meantime, what do you all think of this bag? Any info appreciated, like date range of production, style name, etc. The Coach metal label is so teenie tiny, is that the way it's supposed to be? PS: I love this bag!!

I’ve seen it called the “big mouth kisslock bag” or “kisslock frame bag” on listings. If you google those keywords with “vintage coach” infront, you can see your bag in other colours on google images. I also have a kiss lock bag that I want more info on, but Im waiting for @whateve to come back as I was told she’s the one who has more experience with pre-creed styles
I'm pretty sure this is the 'correct' name: Style 9140 big mouth shoulder frame pouch (thank you, @whateve). I had one in rust / orange and recently sold it. It's a great bag if it works for you.

It is! And it carries a lot for such a small bag! I can fit all my stuff and then some! If you’re tall though the strap might be a bit short; I think the max drop on mine is about 20”, which is perfect for me but might be a tad short if you’re tall or prefer a lower drop. So just look out for that.
Thanks! I started collecting Coach about a year ago, and this is my most vintage piece. My go to bag is the Stewardess because I need something huge for all my stuff I carry around, but this one is so cool. I'll wait for the expert opinion on authenticity.I’ve seen it called the “big mouth kisslock bag” or “kisslock frame bag” on listings.
