Hi
Could you please let me know if this bag is authentic? I bought it at a thrift shop a week or so ago.

Coach Nylon Messenger Bag Lap Top Bag with Leather Trim

Bag is approximately 13 wide by 11 tall by 2 deep. With a flap that clips shut.
3 zip pockets and place for cards and pens
Adjustable shoulder strap
Bag No. E35-6411 (from Coach creed on inside of bag)
I apologize for the quality of the pictures; I've had a devil of a time uploading photos
Thanks so much for your time and assistance with this.

It's a genuine Transatlantic Mini Messenger Bag, made in 2003.

TIA!

I've never seen it but I don't think it's fake.

Wait for Whateve to take a look.
LOL! I was going to say the same thing as Hyacinth and since I'd already quoted, I decided to post anyway.

I don't think it's fake either.

Wow!
The font in the logo looked too condensed to me, so that's what made me curious.
And I'd never seen this style before.

I learn something new from you two all the time, thanks so much!

Please wait for whateve on this one.

I just compared the logo on the bag in the listing to a picture of my own Bonnie Cashin bag. I'm not sure whether there were multiple fonts used on those black plaques but the font is different from my own.

The "SacsMagnifiques1941 Guide to Vintage Hangtags and Creeds" at Ebay shows several different metal plaques used at various times. Both the plaques you posted are identical to photos in her Guide.

Hi - I have in my possession two Legacy Zip Hobos and I'm afraid one of them might not be authentic.
The black one measures 10.5 x 9 x 4.5 and the brown is slightly larger 10.5 x 9.5 x 5
Opinions please? Thanks mucho!
