Vintage Coach Fully Convertible Clutch Vibrant Red Bag Creed 869-7751

Vintage Coach Convertible Clutch Model 869-7751 crafted from iconic red glove-tanned leather. It features a classic solid brass turnlock closure, a front slip pocket tucked beneath the main flap, an interior zippered pocket, and a completely detachable shoulder strap that quickly transforms the silhouette from a crossbody purse into a handheld evening clutch. Key Characteristics & Identification • Material: Thick, unlined glove-tanned cowhide that develops a rich patina over time. •Hardware: Solid brass hardware, including the iconic central turnlock toggle and detachable nautical anchor clips on the strap. •Accessories: The piece retains its original matching stitched leather Coach hangtag suspended from a brass bead chain. Made in the late 1970s to early 1980s based on the "Made in New York City" creed, this bag was made at the original NYC location. • Creed Details: The creed stamped on the interior leather pouch indicates this bag is made from natural glove-tanned cowhide. •Production Era: Bags with this specific creed text, particularly those mentioning "New York City, date to before 1994, with the number inside often acting as a serial number rather than a style number. •Color and Condition: The leather is a distinct red, a color sometimes referred to as "vibrant rust" in vintage listings. It is highly desirable by collectors. This bag has never been carried, but I did remove and unfortunately discard the tags.
