I haven't seen the style before and can't say for sure that it's genuine. It probably is but I can't authenticate it.

It looks like a style #5230 Shoulder Brief from the late 1980s. But as the name implies, it's a briefcase, not a handbag. Is that what she's looking for? The measurements are about 16x11x3 1/2.

It won't be easy finding another one since you can't depend on what's stamped in the serial number to give you the style number, this style was made before style numbers were used in the serial number. You can try looking for " coach (shoulder brief",5230) " at Ebay using EXACTLY the words and punctuation I just typed but leaving out the quotation marks, but sometimes sellers of older styles don't know the exact name or style number.

Here's Coach's 1989 catalog page:

Thank you SO MUCH Hyacinth!!
I knew this would be a tough search, but what you shared really helps - I would be totally lost without it.
Wish me luck!!

Thank you. I will wait and see if anyone else knows for sure. others I've seen like this have the longer made in tab inside so I wasnt sure if it was different year or what

How does this bag look? The number format on the creed look incorrect, but don't want to report til I verify that it is fake.

Yes, it's fake. Incorrect serial number format, and the word "charateristic" is misspelled.

Hello,
I was wondering if i can get some help authenticating this. This is my first time on this Coach Authentication thread so if i am not doing this correctly or need to provide anything else, please let me know. I am a bit concerned as to why it has a brass hang tag instead of a leather one.

Item: Coach Willis
Seller: Tipper J

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

It looks fine. It has a brass hangtag probably because the original leather one was lost. If you ask Coach for a replacement hangtag, the brass one is usually the one they send. It was made in 2004 in China. It might be just the picture, but I think I see some marks on the back.

Thanks so much, whateve. Thanks for the explanation about the hang tag. I will ask the seller about the possible marks on the bag. Appreciate your help .

There's one just like it on Ebay but with a different trim color, apparently it's a Made-For-Factory item and the style number is F60866:

Sorry, I left out a bit of punctuation. Try:

coach ("shoulder brief",5230)

Welcome to the Purse Forum!

Unfortunately, that bag is fake. "K3H- and K4H- prefixes in an unusually thick font are always fake." http://www.ebay.com/gds/Fake-Coach-Serial-Numbers-Part-2-/10000000179041909/g.html
