Bought this today in a local thrift shop. Dear authenticators, could you please confirm it’s authentic, and what’s this style called/ how old is it? Thanks in advance.

In my possession, about 10 x 8.5 x 1.5

There is also a semi-faded stamp “irregular” to the right of the creed, you can see a piece of it in the picture

It's a genuine Saddle Pouch Large, style 9585 and made some time around the mid-1980s, so it's at least 30 years old. The "irregular" stamp was done by Coach if there was a small flaw that they felt didn't justify selling the bag for full price. It was probably a way to offer a discount in the days before Coach had outlet stores. Of all the "irregulars" I've seen I've never been able to spot any obvious problems. :smile:

Here's a thumbnail of the two sizes available in late 1987:

Comments: Please authenticate this Coach bag. I won the auction, but I want to make sure it is authenticate. TIA.
I can't read the full serial number but it looks good.
