I'm curious about this bag and would appreciate further opinions.

Concerns:
1. Grommets are silver and buckle is gold
2. Picture #3 showing back of bag looks like "elephant skin" stretch marks
3. sloppy and crooked stitching along bottom seam and piping shown in last picture.

Unfortunately, there's no creed pic which I think would confirm.

Sorry, there just aren't any pictures of the right areas. One thing that bothers me though is the color and finish of the strap buckles, although that might be from the lighting. The finish is too bright and shiny, and the color looks more like Gold than Brass. Pic below is a real one.

The stitching on the base is rough too but that's not really proof. The wrinkles on the flap could just be from use.

Hello all, I need your assistance in authenticating this bag. Here are the details:

Item: NYC Vintage COACH Red Large STEWARDESS SHOULDER BAG HANDBAG PURSE 9525
Listing number: 331857416262
Seller: ytownlegalsecretary
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NYC-Vintage...416262?hash=item4d443e5046:g:23cAAOSwxvpXOfAw

Thank you so much in advance for your help! :smile1:

It looks good but it's not vintage yet since it was only made in 2002 and not in the US either. Vintage is defined as 20 years old or more for handbags.

Thanks for looking. I was afraid your response would be that the listings are inconclusive. Sometimes I think sellers do that on purpose.
 
Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
From a local animal shelter thrift…
Approx. 9"w x 8"h x 3"d. Strap 20" to buckles.
1999 Legacy Studio Flap #9145, maybe?
As always, thanks in advance!
