Nice find! Yeah, the age is interesting. I'm just not sure why someone would take the time to stitch a burberry label on it, being a vintage henry white. I looked closer on the burberry stitching, it's something I could never accomplish as the stitching is pretty good, but the stitches are not so close together. You may be right on that. I think I may just list it as a Henry White Man wool/cashmere blend coat with an uknown burberry label and state I am not claiming it to be authentic in any way. Maybe it will get bid on by someone whom likes the material (it does feel nice)

I would probably remove the Burberry label - look at how we had to work to figure it out.

Hello!
Okay I now took some pictures that you should be able to read of the tags. I'm glad to hear they have made this tag for the super nova. Is the super nova not in production anymore? I have not seen it online or on ebay so I have had nothing to compare. Are you positive that this type of label could be in the super nova? Again I only ask because I want to make sure that it's genuine. Do the stitchings and the lining of the two bags check out okay? I want to make sure they are 100% authentic without a doubt or I don't want them. Also is it normal for the pilgrim to come apart alittle like it has on the strap? Thank you again for help. It means a lot to me!
Here's the link again with more pictures

As far as I know, the super nova is not in production at this time.

Yes, I am positive that this type of label would be in a bag of this vintage.

Stitching looks good.

I have never seen a ripped strap like that.

It was purchased new I thought - do you have the tags? If so, send photos.

Okay so it's okay my super nova does not include any type of tags? And you think it's okay the inside label is different? What is troubling you with the pilgrim? I'm nervous! Ha

Your nova check bag should not have fabric tags in the pocket.

Labels change year to year - even season to season.

The haymarket check - I cannot make out the serial number/made in tag - that is because of your photos. Also - I like to see front and back of bag to compare - this is not shown in your photos. Also this red detail was just around for a year I think, so I don't see them often.

Okay I'm so happy the super is good! Thank you for the help! I posted a ebay item ID for the same bag I have(pilgrim), did you see that yet? I bought both bags second hand on ebay, that's why I was so nervous and wanted you to look over the bag to make sure. I recently discovered a Louis Vuitton that was a super fake and it's hard to tell sometimes! This one has that cloth tag inside though. Has addy looked at the bags?

That tag looks good. I meant the paper tags that were shown in the ebay link.

Addy will check in and leave her comments.

Right! The only thing that I wanted to make sure was that it can be normal to have the leather kind of rip off the hay market material. And obviously I wanted to make sure it's not a super fake! I'm uploading more pictures to my flickr now

I'm so sorry I'm asking so many questions! I just want to make sure everything is okay! But I did find this super nova Item Number:
221349082794
And it has the same inside label but it's a smaller size then mine. I can tell by the fact that my handles are alittle higher then this one shown on ebay. So my questions is, even though they are different sizes they can have the same logo because they were probably made in the same season?

Okay and one more final thing about the super nova. I've been looking at other super novas on ebay and you can see that the handles all are ending at different parts of the bags. I think it has to do with sizes? I'm hoping you can explain this to me? The top left corner is my bag and the other three are the ones I found on ebay. Thanks again for your help. I'm sorry I have been such a pain! I'm just making sure I get this figured out for sure. Just curious about these handles
