Looking for an authentication please .... I'm curious about this one. I've neve seen the creed used for a business card holder, but then again, this is the first mens bag I've bought. At least I think it's supposed to be a mens .... :-s

11L x 12H x 3D

Thanks in advance (again) for your services!!!

I sure would like a professional assessment on this bag,
I am NOT a bidder (too steep for me) but the bag caught my eye. Is it the real deal and any info on style/name would be interesting. Find it attractive. Have not ever seen this kind of creed lettering but that's not saying anything.

It's fake.

It's trying to copy a Legacy shopper. I don't have a catalog page for it.

A quick Search of Ebay's Current and Completed listings for Coach 7304 would have turned up three listings for style 7304, all of which seem genuine and NONE of which look like the bag you're asking about.

Use the available Search tools.

Here's the fake creed and serial, and also the fake silver-color Mystery Metal strap grommets that you didn't notice -

That is one great looking bag I've never seen before, Lake Effect !!!
VERY jealous, lucky you and great price for that beauty.
Is it Vachetta?
Click to expand...
Yes! I am amazed at my good fortune. I am not familiar with this style either. After looking at a lot of worn (and chewed lol) brief and tote bags at the same price, I jumped on this when I saw it. I don't believe it is vachetta. The leather is very soft, just the like lightweight leather in my Monterey hobo, circa 1990. I actually petted it this morning while I had coffee lol. And get this, after I negotiated the price, the seller julesbbookie3 said she would see if there was cheaper way to ship and if so she would refund the difference. She ended up telling me she would put a $5 bill in the bag when it shipped. And she did!

Hi Ladies,
Just got back to read responses, Was all settled down for a couple hours of shopping and got called away, oh well. So wasn't here to be embarrassed a few hours ago..
Absolutely did NOT NOTICE those grommets, so I am here to be embarrassed now, VERY embarrassing, they do kind of hit one between the eyes! (Oh no)
As for looking up the numbers, I don't think I've ever done that yet, maybe once when I was younger and eager. Too lazy for that. .
But thanks for replying and bearing with me, Hyacinth, and thanks Whateve. Good it got nicked considering how high it went.

No way !!!!
That is an amazing story, and I still think that briefcase is one of the nicest I've seen and i would have paid what you did easily (a song for that). Wonder if it is a Lightweights.
Good deal, lucky you!!
(I have a Monterey hobo too!!!)

I agree, amazing seller! It isn't a Lightweights. It also isn't a Crosby as the seller said in the listing. It was made in 2008 and is called something like Hamptons Leather Legacy Business Tote.
