Got this bag and main zipper is silver, interior is nylon. Did this bag have a nylon top zipper and was possibly replaced with a silver? All other harware is brass. Arrrg. Seller never showed that in photos or mentioned it in her listing.
I don't have this bag but other Madisons have a brass, not nylon, zipper. Nylon was used for the interior pocket zippers. You can see the zippers in this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Madis...181?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f4573e66d The body of the zipper looks like it may have lost some of the brass plating but the ends are definitely brass.

but it doesnt have a MADE IN tag anywhere. the zippers do NOT say YKK. the bottom measures 12" x 4 1/4" i dont know how to measure the height, its very smooshy. the outside doesnt smell strongly of leather but the inside tag and hanging tag do. i bought it from a lady near me and now im scared lol the stitching is awesome however and the zipper slides nicely but i have no idea when this was made. it comes up as a Coach Ashley Leather Satchel Shoulder Bag. the shoulder strap is missing and the lady said the movers lost the coach dust bag it came with. is this real or fake?

I think the bag looks good.

Not all bags have a strong leather smell. This bag wouldn't have come with a dust bag because it's MFF (made for factory outlet stores) and they don't come with dust bags.

And this is even more important: Zipper brand is totally unrelated to authenticity! Coach uses several brands of zippers and the fakes often use YKK (either genuine or fake) because they too read the guides kicking around the internet.
 
I don't have this bag but other Madisons have a brass, not nylon, zipper. Nylon was used for the interior pocket zippers. You can see the zippers in this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Madis...181?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f4573e66d The body of the zipper looks like it may have lost some of the brass plating but the ends are definitely brass.


That was my next question, whether the zipper was just brass plated. Oh well. Vintage bag, nota new one! And looks like the Pierre bag was on my watch list!
 
Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
From GW...
Approx. 11.5"w x 6.5"h x 2"d. Strap 15.5" to buckles.
Is this a 1999 Andrea Flap #9072?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Coach Gurus!
I wonder if you would be able to authenticate this bag set that I've seen for sale on a local FB group. I have some concerns because I see this same bag being sold by EBAY sellers who have complaints for selling fakes. But I think I also may have found it advertised on an old Coach outlet site. The owner says she bought it at Winners. I am stumped!
It is advertised as a Coach Weekender tote
