1. Genuine Weston shopper; there's no Willis in the name.
2. I don't know anything about this bag. It was made for the men's line in 2005.
3. Looks authentic.
4. Authentic.
3 & 4 were made in the same year but 3 was made in the US and 4 in China. The Chinese one has a nylon zipper.

#2 is fine. I love those heavy duty bags.

 

[noshoepolish]

If you won #2, just take some Coach Moisturizer and condition the bag. It should come up nice. It is burnished leather so it will show scratches.

I am not home but I believe the name is Coach Legacy Leather Book Tote or Transatlantic Book Tote (or drafting tote). The wider ones are Business totes.

I've got some decisions to make! I apologize for all the listings. Thank you!

Looks good to me!

Thank You Whateve & Hyacinth BOTH!! I always wonder why COACH didn't come up with a more appropriate name for
Miss Two pockets....at least "companion pocket" or something
..I'm always forgetting the style name!!
Thanks AGAIN!! CHEERS! S.

I FOUND ONE !!!!!

But guess what - it wasn't a HANDBAG plant, it was a CLOTHING plant! Which is even more proof that purses from the mid-1990s with J plants are fake. AFAIK, clothing and purses were never made in the same plant.

Some FAKE D6J- Completeds:

Check it out, Beresford Coat, style 964 from the Fall 1996 catalog

I like that camel coat!

Just happened to spot this POS while searching listings. (Also spotted a photo stealer that I reported)...

From guide: (J8Y- and J4D- prefixes have shown up on some well-copied fakes in both fabric and leather. Bags with this prefix need to be authenticated. Any item with any kind of Signature C fabric having one of these serial prefixes will ALWAYS be fake, no exceptions)

The newest guide now says: J8Y- has been looked at carefully and the consensus is that it should also be added to the "always fake" list.

Yeah I am at work and grabbed the first of the guides by the reputable source.

Speaking of the J plant, this creed is weird.
Name: Authentic COACH Woven Staw Leather Satchel Purse No. A0J-6894

Is this the same one? I don't see any problems. Just another Coach rule-breaker.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Coach-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Thanks. I'll add that one to my files.

I can't read the creed for the first one (posted by Whateve). Did the seller do a typo. The correct style number is 6184, not 6894 as the first listing states.

Yes, I can read 6184 in the creed. The weird part is the Coach at the top which looks like a metal hangtag nailed onto the creed.

Shoot, No, I didn't bid on it and now of course I wish I had. I think I'm going to hold out for a Filson zip tote to use as a carry on instead. But this only had one bid! Darn it!

We've already discussed this bag but I can't find it in the forum. The search isn't working. I doubt it is really raspberry, since Coach didn't make a color like that. It looks like it might be the Lightweights color wine or it might have been dyed. I can't find any style in my files that has that shape.
