Hardware Details
Silver-tone (nickel) hardware. Features the signature Coach Horse and Carriage metal logo plaque, a metal ball chain for the hangtag, and swivel lobster clasps for the strap.
Interior Description
Navy fabric (likely sateen or canvas) lining. Features a singular zip pocket and a slip pocket with a leather Coach Creed patch attached below the zipper.
Closure Type
Top-zip closure with a single metal zipper pull and extended leather tail for easy grip.
Strap & Handle Details
Dual rolled top handles for hand carry and a detachable, adjustable crossgrain leather shoulder/crossbody strap with a buckle.
Craftsmanship Details
Standard mass-market luxury construction. Uniform machine stitching at approx. 8-10 stitches per inch. Uniform embossing on the crossgrain texture with consistent edge painting.
Authentication Indicators
The Horse and Carriage logo is level and centered; stitching on the handle tabs is symmetrical; the Coach Creed should contain a serial number starting with 'F' (factory) followed by a style code (e.g., F32202 or similar).
Origin & Manufacturing
Likely Made in Vietnam, Cambodia, or Philippines, as is standard for modern Coach Outlet production to maintain competitive pricing.
Era & Period
Contemporary (mid-2010s to early 2020s). This design reflects the 'Mini Bag' trend that revitalized the classic satchel silhouette into a more compact, casual form.
Age Estimate
Circa 2017-2019, based on the specific colorblock combination and the use of the 'Micro Bennett' name before it was largely replaced by the 'Rowan' model.
Cultural Significance
Represented the accessibility of American luxury, making high-quality leather goods available to a wider demographic through the designer outlet market.
Condition Notes
Very Good. The exterior shows minor slouching; some light surface dirt/rubbing is visible on the bottom corners and light blue front panel. Hardware remains bright with minimal scratching.
Value Estimate
Original Retail: $295-$325; Current Resale Market: $65-$95 depending on the level of corner wear and interior cleanliness.
Care & Maintenance
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Crossgrain leather is very durable, but avoid heavy alcohol-based sanitizers. Store stuffed with tissue in a dust bag to maintain the dome shape.
