Let's see if I did this right.
ETA, success! I first tried to insert the post as a quote, but the pics didn't attach.

LOL thanks to you ladies I just found out I have an Oliver bag, british tan. I had no idea that was it's name. It was one of my first ever rehabs! :smile:
 
I'm never sure if I do this right, so if I did it twice I'm so sorry!! Here are the pics, I dont think they went through!

I don’t have this bag, but have seen it posted many times. Giving this a bump.
Something like Double Kisslock Swing Bag?
Maybe try the ID thread if no one else responds.

Coach re-introduced that same style in 1991 as part of their 50th Anniversary Retro Collection and just called it a Retro Swing Bag, style 9002. Sorry I don't have a scan of the catalog page.

Huh? Really? I have 6 and they all have the pocket sewn on the wall like the rare bird above!! Mine all all stamped made in New York City.

ETA: were all yours the long strap version? I wonder if that's what they did for the long straps only and the short strap versions got the sewn pockets.

Do you have the shoulder strap length on the flight bag? I purchased one from eBay and I think the strap must have been shortened. There’s no way possible to wear as a cross body and the shoulder strap puts the bag at the top of my waist. I’m referring to the short handled flight bag.

The Skinny Flight Bag shoulder strap was available in two lengths, 44" and 36". You may have the shorter version.

Thank you! I’ll pull my bag out and measure first thing in the morning. Wondering if I could get an after market leather strap to match. I’ve got a burgundy/almost purple flight bag. I love the bag size and color but without a cross body strap I just won’t be able to use it as an intended flight bag.

How do you distinguish between the original and the 1991 version? Are all the originals pre-creed?

No, the original version that was discussed here

HAS a creed, but it doesn't have a serial number,and should always say Made in New York City USA, never Made in the United States. Read the Salearea Guides in the Pinned thread near the top of this page for details as to why that wording is important.
