That's the year Sonomas were discontinued, and it's likely that the Sonoma-specific creed stamps, the few that existed, had already been retired, returned to New York, or destroyed. There's no problem with the bag that I can see.

Thank you for the assistance and the information!

Good morning all! This is my first itme here and I am not even sure how to start conversation yet. But, I do hope some one will have an ansver for me. I though I was lucky enough to fine something in the trunk of old basement house. Vintage Coach, I could not find any information on it. May be you will be able too. Creed 0574 121. I am trying to restore it. It has musty smell but over all looks great. Any idea? Thanks

Nice find. Authentic stewardess bag, style 9525.

 

[Sofico]

Ohhhh, thank you! You are wonderful. Now, I am confused - you said 9525 but ## on my bag 0574 121???

Bags made before 1994 had unique serial numbers that had no connection to the style number. She recognized the shape as the stewardess, which is style number 9525. However, I don't think it is a stewardess since the strap is different. It is a Ranch bag #9852. Your bag was probably made 1990-1993.

ETA: We have a rehab club that might help with the restoration. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

Oops, sorry about the wrong style name and number.

Oops, sorry about the wrong style name and number.

It's a easy mistake. I've been looking for a Ranch bag so it's one I recognize easily.

2- genuine, similar to #1

3- genuine Zippered Pouch, style 9655, same time period.

Thank you Hyacinth.... the thrift stores around here are a bust and consignment shops are hit or miss of course. so I have to buy the purses on ebay and etsy. I will have everything authenticated first and if you have any suggestions as to what to purchase for rehab would be greatly appreciated.. P.S. I'm keeping all the bags FOREVER this time... again thanks

You are so wonderful. I have more pictures of the strap, just to be sure, those picture I took before I started to rehab this beauty,

For rehab info and suggestions, Whateve is the one you need to talk to. I'm old and lazy and prefer to buy bags that don't need anything more than a good dunking!

It's easy to tell the difference. The stewardess has a wider, removable strap that attaches with buckles on the sides.

It's definitely a Ranch Bag from the early 90s. Here's Coach's pic from the Holiday 1991 catalog:
