The actual color will be closest to the full-length picture #3 shown on the manni.

The bag seems genuine but the lighting and background is lightening the color a LOT. I don't know what kind or intensity she's using to light it, but the white walls are also helping to wash out the color. The only green shade available for the Court Bag in April 1995 was Bottle Green.
Thank you so much! I actually googled around for pictures of the bottle green leather and yeah, this is way washed out. Definitely illustrates the risks of relying on photos online.

I was a little amused/freaked out when one of the first Google image results was a Poshmark listing of a green City Bag with the same manufacturing date, also from the C plant. (And it is super dark in comparison!)
 
Hello again expert ladies, please authenticate when possible, thanks :smile1:
(In my possession)

Item: Coach Sonoma (?)
Measurements: 6 x 5 x 3 inches. No pockets inside.

Comments: Hopefully authentic, I have not seen any other small crossbody like this, plus I like the color a lot.

I believe that bag to be authentic.

Anyone considering a Swagger style bag (any size) should read this thread because the fakes are extremely close. I do recommend caution.

Oh my! What a wonderful AT Thread! :heart: That was super quick! :ty:

BB, because I don't know Coach if I do win or BIN. Is there anything else I would need to do once I receive to double check (extra pics? re post with my own pics?) to insure it's the same one as in listing? Because honestly I wouldn't know the difference between a Fake vs Authentic? :flowers:

(just adding: I am trying to read the Thread you posted, but I am out of time. I will go through it tomorrow morning)

What I see in the listing looks good (though one of the pictures is a stock photo) but some of the pictures don't enlarge clearly. If you have any questions or doubts, I'll be happy to look at clearer pictures taken in better lighting. as the made in tag, usually sewn into the main part of the lining (as opposed to being buried deep inside the zipper pocket).

:ty: Again BB! :heart: Sorry, I did edit my reply to you! :push: I re-read what I posted and it sounded like I was questioning your reply! Which I wasn't! (I really need to proof read but out of time, like, nearly an hour?:laugh: ) So Thank you again! :heart:

It's a genuine Sonoma Pouch Nubuc - first one I've noticed too. But at least there are finally a few pictures to go with the description. :smile1:

1- genuine
2- genuine
3- genuine. Coach doesn't list Maple as an avaialable color for that season, so it's probably Beechnut or Caramel.
4- genuine
5- both genuine
6- genuine. Can you provide links to the other countries' bags you're asking about? And yes, it's possible.
 
Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
From GW…
Approx. 14"w at top x 10.5"h x 3"d. Strap 7.5 to buckles.
2004 Soho Leather Large Hobo #3651, maybe?
As always, thanks in advance!
