Is this bag authentic? I have a black one style 6707 but it has pigskin on the bottom and the vertical tabs up each side of the purse and the handles. I also have a black tote that has the pigskin on it as well. Also my 6707 seems to be a slightly different shape than this one; wider on the bottom than the top.

It's authentic and from Filene's Basement (based on the tag). Oh, how I miss that store!

I've read about Filene's in romantic novels. I didn't think it was real!


So in this listing the purse appears to have straight sides. Mine looks a little different than this one. It's really cute but they are small plus the Global shipping makes it too expensive for me.

I have an adorable (non-Coach) vintage bag that is stamped Filene's inside.

I guess they made some without pigskin.

Will refrain from quoting Daria's "fake coach serial numbers guide" re "just because you don't think coach ever made something that ugly..."

That's one of those "what could they have been thinking" bags. It's authentic. But it's only 9 years old, so not vintage.
 
Look at how many bids are on that first wristlet! Obviously someone likes it, even with the seller's contradictory description. Is it in "like new condition" or "used, signs of wear"? Can it be both?

I didn't even notice the bids. That's crazy.

I wouldn't mind the combination of wool and suede but I don't get the siggy fabric. And I certainly wouldn't want it in that 'like new' condition!

Some sellers really don't have a clue. I just got a refund through ebay for a couple of vintage Polo Ralph Lauren bags that were described as 'in excellent condition'. They were both far from that and the strap on one is so cracked that pieces are falling off. It looks like clay soil after its dried out.
 
Beauty must be in the eyes of the beholder. I googled images of ugly Coach bags and a recent rehab I did showed up! The yellow and metallic leather and suede chevron bag. I love that bag! Obviously lots of people don't though.

Two of my favorite patterns are in the first two rows of that Google page. I'm CRUSHED !!! :D

But I have to admit, I like the Hamptons Weekend Patchwork BECAUSE it's ugly. Go fig.
