The carrier is just a tad longer and higher, and has a back pocket and a zippered interior pocket, and is alot cheaper haha

What are the dimensions for a Muzette?

What are the dimensions for a Muzette?

I have two catalog pics for the Musette Bag, with slightly different dimensions:

No contest - old

I'm just jumping in here, but look at the musette I scored on Etsy!!

@whateve I had to get this legacy version. It's the only other time I have ever seen a strap attachment like the old.

This was the accompanying catalog page. (Maybe not catalog catalog, but you know what I mean!!)

Love the older one, especially the way the handles are attached.

Tough call for me. There is what looks to be slightly larger version of the bag on the left, with no rivets on the handle, that comes up in rust regularly online, that I would love to own. I’d really like to feel the leather before I buy one. But I have the bag on the right in black and really love all the styling and detail. I show it off at a retail Coach store on occasion .

Thanks so much for that information too! There are soooo many bags and details to remember, gotta make notes of them so I know what I’m looking for. Thanks again [emoji4]

I have a flash drive dedicated to backing up all of the photos I have downloaded and notes I have been making /copying. You’d think I am working on a degree!! When I began exploring vintage Coach in depth a few years ago, I had no idea there where hundreds of styles.

Me too. I didn't pay attention to fashion or handbags for most of my life, but suddenly I'm obsessed with vintage (and some not-quite-vintage) Coach: the pictures, the notes, the flash drive, the whole curriculum!

I’d imagine you guys get a lot of this, but I just bought a coach bag and I need help determining if it’s real or fake. I’ve scoured the Internet, but unfortunately I can’t find anything that would give me a solid answer. It’s a small bag so there’s no serial number. I’m not sure if it’s new or old, as it’s not on the coach site any longer. The stitching is excellent and there doesn’t seem to be any flaws in the material that would make me think it’s cheap and there was one of those tags inside that buzz if you walk out the door. I’d appreciate any help or any Direction. Thanks!
