It's authentic and I believe it's called a Soho leather hobo. (There may have been a size indicator in the name.)

Soho Leather Large Hobo

Thanks, ladies! I am knee deep in Coach bags for this next sale, lol. I don't know the policy on this, but is it ever appropriate to post links or would there be any interest?

Good morning! I've got a couple of bags that I think are ok, mind looking them over? Thank you

First one:
- Saddle Bag Style 9235
- in my possession
- Pretty certain authentic, wondering about its age. Has an NYC patch but no serial number... 70's?




Second one:
- Tan rectangular NYC bag (name/style#?)
- In my possession
- measures 11.5 x 7 x 4, slip pocket on each side with a hanging zip pocket inside and adjustable buckle strap.

It's against forum policy to buy or sell on the forum. You can't post links to your own auctions.

Both are fine. The saddle bag is probably from the mid 70s. The other is a 9820 swagger from the late 80s.

Cool, thanks! I've been looking for a saddle bag like this one for a while, love that I found an older one

I was thinking about this seller (and her many, many ebay fakes in the past) and came across this listing.

Case
etsy seller GutsyGirls
https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/206...ref=shop_home_active_12&ga_search_query=coach

Note: ebay seller ID was debbieb208 but seems to not be allowed to sell Coach on ebay any more.

Trim stitching is sloppy, the logo imprint appears too high and too far in from the edge and the lining is fabric I've not seen before.
Opinions? (This isn't too imply that Etsy might remove the listing because I've never seen them remove fakes. But I'm curious.)

 

[ampavlinac]

Okay thanks for everyone's help. This is my last one for awhile, I swear haha. I only found one creed from this date/factory and the wording was completely different which worries me. I think it's a Hamptons Carryall.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!

Definitely fake. That thing looks so sloppy. I have an original one, NWT, and it is a work of art. The shape of the item is too rounded. It should be rectangular in shape, with just rounded corners. The logo is too small, too deeply imprinted, and not in the right place. The lining isn't even close to correct. It is supposed to be a ticking stripe with a thicker stripe surrounded by two skinny stripes. In the authentic version, the stripes go up and down on all sides of the item, including the sides, making them continue longways across the bottom. Not like on hers, which has the bottom stripes going the same direction as the front and back.

I have reported items to etsy before. I thought they removed some of them but I'm not sure.

ETA: Thanks for asking so I could pull my perfect one out of the box and admire it!

Fake? Funky zipper... I will report if someone else can confirm.

Yes, it's fake. Besides the zipper, the handle is wrong and the side tabs are too long. The part of the creed you can see looks wrong. I bet this was made in Korea.

Ah yes I see the side tabs now. Thought that creed patch looked suspect too. Reported!

Consider it confirmed.

ETA: Sorry. I hadn't read ahead to see that it was already answered.
