@whateve I love the musette! Is that a crossbody or bigger? Also loving the studded Abbey as well! ,[emoji7]

It isn't a crossbody bag. It is relatively small. It just large enough to fit my 13" Macbook Air and a couple other things. It actually works better to carry and iPad and a few other things. A Carrier is a larger version of the Musette, but I'm not sure if the strap on it is long enough for crossbody either. (It wouldn't be for me, but I've never been confused for a skinny person. :smile: )

Oh, and I also love these two vintage Bonnie Cashin totes with the kiss locks. I also have both styles in black, too. View attachment 3435382
Ooh I just bought the bigger one from posh mark! Can't wait to get it! I've never been so excited about an old bag before! I've been looking to buy a burgundy bag for fall and this might do it! I'll do a mini reveal when I get it.

Hello - I am new to this, so please forgive me if I commit a faux pas. I wasn't sure exactly where to post this so here goes: I have been in search of a Coach Stewardess bag for quite some time. I prefer one made in the US and hope to find one that is vintage and pre-9525. If I could find one in a brown or burgundy color even better. I have way too many black Coach bags in my collection already :/ In my quest to find the perfect bag, I stumbled across eBay item number: 401181876880 - which shows more wear than I would like, but it has a lot of the other features I was looking for - mahogany color and pre-9525. I had difficulty reading the creed in the photo posted, so I inquired as to the wording to which the seller replied that it says: THIS IS A COACH DEAN BAG ... I have never heard of a COACH DEAN BAG and in my efforts to research it have come up empty. Hoping someone here, with way more knowledge than me, can shed some light on this. Is it something special or is it a fake? If anyone has time to investigate this and help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the purse forum. We have a thread for authentication requests here: http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/ There is no reason to post your request there this time since I can authenticate it for you here. Just remember for next time. The bag is authentic. It doesn't say "dean;" it says "bean." Around 1990, Coach made a bean bag that had a creed like this. According to the Coach archivist, they forgot to change the creed back right away so some bags were made with this creed. There are many counterfeits that also use the bean bag wording so you have to be careful. In this case, the bag is authentic.
