This bag was in the trunk of a '75 914 I acquired. Can anybody tell me if it is original to the car, and what was it for?

I agree. . old school bra. .
That looks very much like factory bags provided in other P cars, from early 80's thru 993 run, cabriolets (944,911,964,993), for the boot. Some had a Porsche crest in the vinyl, most didnt. Very common to find at swaps and evilbay. My 964 has one just like that. I use one in my 914 to carry cleanup stuff and things like that.

Have one in my 914, with Crest.
Yup, factory bag. Used to hold one pound or less of weed. The factory discontinued use of these in ‘73. Their justification was that most cops didn’t even know the front trunk existed on a 914, so there was no need to try to hide your weed in a bag. Cost cutting measure by the factory.
I wonder how it ended up in a ‘75?

Silly me. I used to use the space behind the console gauge panel for crossing into Canada back in the 80s.

Yeah they didn’t look there either! Of course the bag was convenient so you didn’t spill any weed after a spirited drive.
Douche bag?

Sorry I should t have hijacked his thread. But I thought it had already been answered. I think Colgan made the bag for their car bras back in the day. Some bags had the crest and said ‘PORSCHE’ along the front of the bra. Some bags had no crests on them and the bras had no ‘PORSCHE’ script along the front.
