Fake style, cheap thin leather (?), nasty gold acetate lining. Any time you see that shiny gold lining, just walk away.

Hello all, I'm looking for an everyday leather bag for carrying to class. I really like this brown leather coach(?). But the price is so low I just don't know if I should go for it or not. Any help would be appreciated!

Wondering, because I can't see Coach embossed in the leather on the flap like all the others and the price tag looks like a Coach tag, but not sure.

That's a classic Coach Sonoma Pocket Zip from the mid-90s (the seller's measurements may be a bit large, it's probably more like 11x12) but it's a HUGE bag inside, with three separate compartments inside plus the outside slip pockets, great when you're hauling around a lot of stuff. It probably won't hold a laptop unless it's one of the small Macs and I'm not even sure about that. The serial number should include a style number of 4924, and don't worry if the stitching on the creed looks really sloppy, they were all like that.

The dirt spots might not clean up well but if it's just a knocking-around bag that's no big thing. The leather's also very squishable and pretty waterproof so it can take a lot of abuse. I have two of those, and really love all my Sonomas - they last forever.

the size of the patch is 3 1/2 inches long X 4 1/2 inches wide. Larger than the ones im used to seeing. you can't tell from the pics how huge the patch is. TIA!

If someone can help me with these boots that would be great, I think they look good but I wanted to double check.
Thanks.

It may look huge if you haven't looked at Signature Stripe bags before, most of them have that oversized patch. It seems to be the same size as the other ones on Ebay.

Isn't there supposed to be a dog-leash clip on that white leather tab right above the patch, the one with the 2 small brass rings? Like on this one:

Is this a bag that you're thinking of buying or do you already own it?

I bought it off of ebay and have received it. Yes, it is missing the dogleash clip, the seller stated that in the listing. I did have it authenticated here, being I have not seen a patch that large I was kind of concerned. I am thinking about taking it to coach to have the clip repaired, and wanted to be 100% sure it is authentic before doing so! Thank you for looking it over!
