Hello Authenticatora,

I saw this bag at a thrift shop- I didn’t buy it at the time because I wasn’t sure-
It feels very light weight but also the condition wasn’t great. The lady only said it was an old timey coach bag

Hello Authenticatora,

It's authentic, made in 2002, so it's not that "old timey." (Sheesh! What does that make me?!?)
 
Item :Coach 9145 Legacy Medium Studio Flap
Purchased @shop Goodwill 3+ years ago (in my possession’
Size: Approximately 6”x8”
Comment - loving this bag and getting ready to “clean her up” but researching (especially Hyacinths post #61, 185 from 05-21!) I see this style is faked a lot, and my “magnetic clasps” are different. Hoping she is real.
Thanks for ALL your help over these years :smile:

A fine vintage wine?

A set of authentic Chippendale chairs?

A Ming Dynasty porcelain teapot?


Some things get better as they get older. :girlsigh: :hugs:


Even Coaches.


(I wonder how many vintage Coaches 11 million pounds could buy...? :shocked: )

As per my previous post, I'm also looking to authenticate this listing as well!
[Looking for my first Coach bag!)
Item: Coach Soho Hobo Bag Blue 15679
Listing number: fe6b78c9-8b11-3c64-bd77-afdfd7183249 (This listing is on OfferUp, I'm not sure how to get the listing number, so I got this from the link)
OfferUp - Ana
Link: https://offerup.com/item/detail/fe6b78c9-8b11-3c64-bd77-afdfd7183249
Comments:
The OfferUp listing is old. I've found another listing on Ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/276403755662) that has identical patterns/details to this offerup listing. Would/should the tag from the OfferUp listing be the same for the tag on the Ebay listing? (I've messaged the Ebay seller for cricketsyd011 about adding a pic of the tag.)

It's fine, made for and originally sold at the outlets in 2007.
