OMG!! I’m SO excited! And he really lucked out...only knew I collect the old NYC bags. THANK YOU, Ms beenburned..(and I love your hashtag...I was thinking of “million times burned” for mine, haha!)
Any idea of their approximate date?

You're correct on both names. The Courier Pouch, maybe very late 1970s to about 1986, the Pony Express from late 1970s to early 1980s. It's hard to get more precise than that on vintage styles.

Nice bags, and nice hubby! :smile:
 
Hi All,

My mum gave me a coach back to sell online that she has never used. She said it was genuine and purchased from a retailer in Vietnam. Naturally, I was pretty dubious but after some online checking, it seems like it actually might be genuine. I have attached some photos of the creed, serial number (post-2014 serial inside the pockets) and the general pictures of the bag.

Would love if you could tell me if this is genuine or not? Does anyone know the design as well? Apparently its about 2-3 years old?

Andrew

It's a leather circle hobo and was made in 2015.

The Hubster gifted me with 2 bags! They are in my possession. I’m just getting over my cold and chemo side effects but I got out of bed to take these photos. He knows I have and love the old NYC bags and he said the first was a Pony Express

You're correct on both names. The Courier Pouch, maybe very late 1970s to about 1986, the Pony Express from late 1970s to early 1980s. It's hard to get more precise than that on vintage styles.

Nice bags, and nice hubby! :smile:
I don't know which seems more mythical, the PE or the husband who knows how to buy vintage Coach! :lol:
Enjoy them both and best wishes fof your health.
 
Thank you!

So i take it its authentic?

If something isn't authentic, we say so right up front.

And fake bags or other items don't get or deserve names, either. They're only identified as "fake" or a copy or ripoff of a style. We have a very low opinion of fakes and the people who make and knowingly distribute them.
