ID This Coach item! -- Post any Coach item name questions here! --

Hi, can you ID this coach? It kinda looks like it has that tattersall weaved leather. Never seen it before. Thanks so much [emoji4]

That laced detail around the edges is found in the West End collection (Wayback Machine, August 2000):

This is my opinion but I still wouldn't recommend buying the bag from that seller unless and until you got the required pictures needed to authenticate it. And it probably wouldn't hurt to offer constructive criticism and suggest that she could make more money more quickly if her listings included more pictures.

Having just become an ebay member a week ago, she's not an experienced seller (or buyer) and might welcome the suggestions.

That adds to the problem, the West End line had style numbers between 9466 and 9476 so a mistake in reading the style number on the seller's part is unlikely.

And I'm sorry if I sound unkind, but I'd rather be blunt and prevent someone from buying or even thinking of buying a possible fake - not just the Original Poster, but anyone else reading this who might be considering it.

If it is authentic, it would be West End Medium Hobo. The 2 factory code would be right for this style.

@Cyanide Rose See the link below for before and after pics of a West End Hobo that I rehabbed several year ago. I thought that the pics might be of interest if you ever do decide to buy this style bag.

Wow that came out amazing! I am definitely gonna put this style on my look out for list. Thanks you this information [emoji4]
 
Looking for more information on this Cody bag. Can anyone tell me if this was ever made in red or green? View attachment 4304050

It was apparently only made for a very short time. Except for the closure it was almost identical to the Taft Bag and Coach seldom kept 2 similar styles in production at the same time. I've had that style name and number on my Ebay Watch list for years and think I've only seen one example. I'm not even sure what color this actually is.

That's got to be mahogany.

Last night I found this bag and bought it. Or so I thought. The seller cancelled immediately saying it was already sold on another site. [emoji24][emoji174][emoji30] I just thought I share.... Even if it's just for the record! In the last two years I have never seen it for sale anywhere. [emoji3525] I'll just assume it was fake to make feel better since there's no pic of the serial number! [emoji38]

Another consolation: it might not be green...it could be black. But still...

I think I've seen one Cody (on shopgoodwill maybe) in the last 2 years.

The grommets look silver.
