It's not a valid style number. That is one of those creed numbers they were using for awhile that had no relation to the actual style of the bag. I've never seen one with all zeroes. What does the bag look like? If it is truly a pilot or sample bag, it can't be authenticated.
Thanks whateve! That is what I thought. It is the new kisslock crossbody with cherry print.
Here's picture.

Hello, i would like to buy this backpack from second hand, do you know if this is an actual Coach design? Because it is not shown in Coach´s website. Thank you!View attachment 3807542

Hi! Thanks for replying, it is the only photo that the seller provides, but my main doubt is if is actually a model that really exists as such, and if it is or it was sold by Coach.
It appears to be a Charles Backpack in Sport Calf made for Coach Factory Stores, style #F54786. Factory styles don't ever appear on Coach's website.

That number alone would make me very nervous. Even though so many of the 1941 styles have those bogus numbers, all zeros just seems wrong. And I thought they were supposed to be going back to actual style numbers by now?

Wait for Whateve though, since I'm usually completely wrong when it comes to newer styles.

I really wish members would try to post photos of the creeds when they do their new bag reveals!

Hi Hyacinth. Thanks for the feedback. Another tPF did post a picture of the creed for her similar kisslock crossbody even though it is not the same exact style. When I saw her creed, it started me thinking that this bag was a possible pilot bag or something.

I'll wait to here back from whateve. I actually have the bag in my possession.

I agree with Hyacinth. I would be very nervous. When a bag is this new and very limited, it seems doubtful there would be some that weren't from the normal run floating around. Where did the person who sold it to you get it? Are they claiming to be a Coach employee? The creed number makes no sense. Coach has been back to using normal creed numbers for awhile now, so even if this bag were made several months before the current release, I think it would still have a normally formatted creed prefix, which a date and factory code. If they were going to use that nonsense creed on a sample bag, there would be no reason to change the "style number" part of the creed to all zeros. They could have just left it with the nonsense style number they were using at the time.

If I were you, I would order one from Coach and compare them carefully. Remember that even very new bags get counterfeited.
 
I just received this bag as a gift from a very dear friend of mine. I want to make sure it's okay.

You didn't mention measurements, but if it's roughly 10x9x5 inches it's a vintage Roswell Satchel from the Sheridan collection, probably made right around 1993, style number 4228. Thumbnail below.
