I found a leather Coach bag today at a used goods store. I think it is real, hoping to confirm.
All Leather
Message Bag/ Brief Case
No Shoulder Straps, no hardware to attach one
15" wide, 11" tall, 2" deep
Stitching looks good. Good quality leather
Creed says: MADE IN UNITED STATES
Questions... Serial number in the wrong format? US, but doesn't specify NY

It was made in 2004.

We don't guesstimate values here. Something is worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. To find what others have sold for, search Ebay for "coach 1414" the style number in the serial number, and then select "Completed listings"

The briefcase is from the early 1990s based on the xxxx-xxx serial number format. Style numbers weren't used in the serial numbers before about 1994. I don't know the style number of the bag being asked about, but someone else may know.

Is this an authentic Coach Winnie Bag
I hope I have properly followed directions to seek an opinion on this forum for authentication of a Coach bag. It's my understanding I should post on the last page of posts and this is the last page of posts that I am posting on. [Once again, if I have posted this in the wrong place please forgive my inexperience with this process and provide me with direction. ]

This bag is not currently listed for sale and there is no link to any site. I believe it is a Coach Winnie Top Handle Bag. Orderly creed F7C-9023 I have attached photographs.

It's fine. That isn't the original strap.

Thank you!

I see from a 1997 Coach spring catalog listing I have that the strap it came with in 1997 was adjustable and the strap on this bag is not. Do you know Coach offered an option for a different nonadjustable strap when someone bought one of these in 1997 or do you think the original strap was just replaced at some point with a substitute?
 
Could you please authenticate?

I ended up buying the red one that Been Burned authenticated for me recently and I love it. Am now on the hunt for other colors and came across this one with a Handcrafted in Turkey creed that I haven't seen in any others. Every other one I've looked at states Handcrafted in the United States.

Thanks so much!

I think it was probably replaced. Someone may have misplaced the original strap. Coach offered alternate straps for some styles in the 80s but I don't think they were doing this in 1997.
