Hi, can I get this bag authenticated please? I can barely make out the serial number on this one. It was described as a mini Dr. Duffel, but I can't find anything on it.

As Lake Effect said, we need the seller information and the MEASUREMENTS. And there's no such animal as a mini Dr Duffel which could be why you can't find anything. Please refer to Post number One for the information we need.

You don't make it easy, do you? :shocked:

It doesn't help when the pictures are out of focus and we have to flip the creed photo to read it.

I can't tell if the Coach logo is actually crooked inside the border or if that's just the lighting. We can't really see any of the hardware either, or see the shape or size of the bag. I'm reading the style number as 28251 but can't find anything under that number on Ebay, Google, or here at tPF, so I'm not going to try and authenticate it without a genuine bag to compare it to and hopefully better photos IF we can find a comparable one. If anyone else wants to take a look, feel free.

If this is an online store, what is their URL? And where are they located?

Yep, otherwise it's a waste of time. I can't even read the month code, it kind of looks like a K so I checked the late 2013 and early 2014 Wayback concentrating on the Madisons but there's nothing with those details, or what little of them are viewable in the photos. I'm not going to spend 2 hours looking at every month in 2013. And even if I found something that might match, it's still not going to give us a basis for comparison.

And did Coach have 2XXXX style numbers as far back as 2013? I'm not taking the time to research without better pictures and informaiton.

Probably, there's a picture of a K13 prefix Borough in my files with a 27850 style number. According to my Rhyder, by May 2014 they were already up to 33738. They were pushing out a LOT of new styles then especially at the FOS's, that was when it seemed like they had one every week.
