Hi, I am wondering about this bag. I have been looking for a style with a squarish shape with a turnlock. The one thing that draws me to this bag is the short, wide strap. This style, maybe not this actual bag, is perfect. Can someone identify this?

Item: Vintage Coach Handbag
Item # 232895946314
Seller: tdaasawyer2011
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coach-Handbag/232895946314?_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIM.MBE&ao=2&asc=52935&meid=43c3b3c5b3d348dfa6b833a6e6d9dd63&pid=100005&rk=5&rkt=12&sd=332767332839&itm=232895946314&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Thanks so much!

It's authentic. The strap is doubled, so it is really much longer than it looks. It is a Legacy Crescent bag from 2002. Coach made several styles that were similar shapes, such as the Stewardess #9525 and Legacy 11134 from 2006.

ID if it’s good, please.

It doesn't look good at all. I've never seen that font before and there are just too many problems with the stamping. Nothing else is distinctively "Coach" enough to use for authentication, and the creed itself is too far away from the Coach logo..

ETA - We're short-handed this week so please allow a little more time for us to post answers.

I wasn’t bumping. Just waited too long and the edit button went away. Sorry!

The inside, especially the pocket, doesn't look right. Questionable bag on top, genuine below:

I didn't see a response to your request so I'll post my opinion.

For future requests, please refer to post 1, page 1 for the information we need. If the bag is listed anywhere, we want to see the listing and the seller. If it's a bag in your possession, just tell us.

The bag is fake. The serial number is in the incorrect font for the B plant in 1997 and your bag isn't what style 9088 looks like.
