Just got home from the Goodwill with two 90s Coach bags. Typically I collect early 2000's Hamptons, so I wasn't quite sure what to make of these. Usually I won't buy when in doubt, but I've been dearly wanting 90s Coach. I was also starting to draw interest from other shoppers so I didn't dare put them down just in case. Hoping this paid off! Any help authenticating these is super appreciated!

Name: Station Bag (?)
Link: Goodwill, in my possession
Serial/Style: B7U-5130
Comments: Missing a strap unfortunately and hunting around the store didn't turn one up. Squashed and beaten up, but structurally intact. Considering that I live in an area where 100-degree weather is normal, the leather is in excellent shape. I was surprised by how soft the not-dehydrated parts of the purse were: the leather in these places felt a little buttery. If it's a fake, it's a fake with quality leather.

"By George, I think I've got it!"

Waistpouch, style 581, late 1990s maybe thru at least 2001. Here's the August 4, 2001 Wayback page:

I'm not sure why you're concerned about the inside pocket zipper? That's the exact zipper the Sonoma styles are supposed to have. I wish the creed photo was closer and clearer but it's a genuine Sonoma Pocket Drawstring from 1997.

I hope our fellow posters at the Rehab And Rescue thread can help you bring it back to life. :smile:

Oh no! I'm so sorry! I thought I'd attached the picture of the creed, but I missed it. I attached a proper photo below for clarification. I was worried about the zipper because I'd noticed it was lighter than the rest of the hardware. On further inspection, this seems to be from use and scratches.

OH DAMN, I'm sorry! That should be STATION Bag! Style 5130. Sheesh, I must be suffering from Olympic Burnout, and I've barely even watched the games.

In 2000, this style sold for $272. Most buyers prefer the older version to your version, but since it appears to be in excellent condition, you could probably get more than $50. Here's one that sold for $129. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BROWN-COACH-FLAP-PATRICIA-LEGACY-MESSENGER-PURSE-PRISTINE-CONDITION-9951-/183041635449?hash=item2a9e21b479:g:CM8AAOSwCJxaNUbb&nma=true&si=EIVdXynPcuZcOuAC1tuuyH4VdZc%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Here are a bunch of recent sales, sorted from highest to lowest: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_nkw=coach+9951&_sop=16
The majority sold for less than $50.

Thanks so much for your help! I appreciate it :-) do you know if anyone who can authenticate MCM bags? The one I have is Monogrammed and it seems to be a carry on bag of some sort. It’s aboit 7 years old and was given to me but I don’t know much else about it.
