I'm almost positive that creed is wrong. The large "o" in No. and the long underline weren't used by any US plants at the time. The creed is stamped too low. I have 3 or 4 examples of F creeds in my files. All have a very unique font and style, and all were on styles 5356 and 5358, which are both briefcases.

That's three authenticator strikes against this poor bag. Thank you whateve!

I purchased this Coach Bag at a Thrift Store, measuring apx 9"x9"x2.5" with a 22" strap drop. The creed inside is hard to read, it is made in the United States. I would like to confirm that it is authentic. Thanks

I'm pretty certain it is authentic but since it is a bean bag creed, I'd like to see a close up picture of the snap.

It seems genuine, but there aren't any measurements, and I'm not seeing any photo that looks like it might be the front of the bag so I have no idea what style it is. Maybe a Duffle Drawstring from the very early 1990s style 4022 from the Lightweight line, but measurements would help. At the very least we need to know the height of the bag, base to top edge, and the width across the base.

Thank you!

Genuine, but technically not quite "vintage" until next year when it will be 20 years old.

Thank you! My boyfriend keeps telling me bags from the 90's are not vintage because "my sister has one that my grandmother had from the 1920's"....men....lol

Hi all... I'm just not sure about this bag... the first 3 of the serial number looks wrong. It's a Soho Tote, and I couldn't find the color in my 1996 catalogs that I have.

It looks good. The spacing of the first 3 numbers is exactly right for that plant. The color might be chamois. I see it in earlier catalogs but they might have still been making it by then.
