It's fine but it isn't vintage. It was made in 2014. Don't expect it to have the same leather as a vintage Court.

Thank you, whateve, for the super quick reply! I didn’t realize that Coach rereleased this style of bag recently.

It looks good to me, and made in 2011. More opinions are always welcome.

Thank you so much!

Okay let’s try again . Please authenticate. To educate me. I see a lot to not recommend.

Forget that the seller cannot even look at K9B and realize that that bag was not made in the 1970s. But it where does one start with this . . .

What specifically are you concerned about?

There's no problem with the B plant code or the font used in the serial number. There are as many fake *9B- serial prefixes using incorredct fonts as there are genuine ones but this one's real. Coach re-issued the 9735 Rambler in late 1998, and the 1998-1999 versions depending on color could have been available with silver hardware.

Other than the seller's cluelessness about things like serial numbers, which you've already pointed out, I don't see any reason for concern. What other details are you worried about?

Below is another GENUINE K9B- serial and creed:

Any idea as to age, value?
