The picture below is Flannel Gray fron the 1987 catalog. It's not even close to the color on your Slim Satchel, which is definitely a faded Black. There was also an earlier gray color that was even lighter and just called Gray.

Is Watermelon satchel a Bonnie Cashin design? I am going to a party with a 60s dress code, and I want to take a larger bag. I know it’s probably from the 70s, but if it’s hers, it means early 70s which can be stretched to late 60s for this purpose. I presume none of the “usual” vintage Coach - Stewardess, Convertible Clutch, etc. - were made in the 60s.
I have a pre-creed version, so it was produced while Bonnie Cashin was still at Coach.
Dear all, need some advice on choosing a bag. Due to the changing circumstances at work I’ll have to start carrying my laptop back and forth soon. Which is a bad news because almost none of my bags fit a laptop (current one is 13 x 10), and a good news because it gives me an excuse to do some shopping.
My preferences are: a tote style with longer handles that can be carried on the shoulder. Slim profile - pretty much laptop + phone + wallet. Closed top - at least a snap, but preferably a zipper. Wouldn’t mind a lighter weight. I already bought a Barclay. Anything else that fits the bill? I strongly prefer vintage unlined bags (oh, how I wish the Flight bag could have been just a bit bigger), but I realize that the laptops are a newer thing, so if you love your newer large bag, please feel free to recommend it too. Mod shots are appreciated.

Here are some ideas:
Large Tote, #9780
Zipper Tote, #9785
Marketing Tote, #9665 (might be too short though)
I've been looking for a laptop bag for a while. I haven't been able to find any of the above to try, but I can advise against one style that I thought would work, the Sheridan Hollister Tote. The dimensions looked good (16.25" x 12" x 4.5") but there's a zippered compartment in the center of the bag that gets in the way.
Good Day all! I hope I’m not bothering anyone here. Can I please have your help with what style bag this is? I posted in the authentication thread already, but the name would help me research it a bit. Thanks so much for your assistance. Enjoy your day! [emoji4]
Oops, I mistakenly ID'd this as a Classic Satchel, it's a Broadway as @whateve ID'd on the authentication thread.

When I was digging around in the closet this weekend looking for kiddo’s Christmas gifts that I hid there, I came across this beautiful green Pocket Purse that I had stashed away there quite some time ago and forgotten about. So glad I found it just in time for the holidays! [emoji319]
