Good afternoon all! I'm so happy to have found this site today.
I purchased this "Coach" bag at Goodwill yesterday. It is very dirty and has a broken zipper. I'd like to know if it is the real thing before I worry about cleaning and repairing it. The bag measures - 10 1/2" tall x 15" wide x 5" deep. The strap drop is 12".

Thanks

It's authentic. Sonoma Tote Nubuc, made in in 1995.
We have a rehab club here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/
but you should probably know that some of us don't have nice things to say about nubuck rehabs!

Thanks for the quick response Whateve! Why the objection to rehabbing nubuck? Is it difficult to clean?

I regret to inform you nubuc is the Debil. The heartbreaker of rehabbing! But go for it! See you over on R/R

Ok. I'll pass on these in the future unless they're in good condition.

Yes, unfortunately some people have referred to it as the "devil nubuc." I have since refrained from buying any nubuc unless it is in near perfect condition. I had one that I washed that had more stains appear after the bath. In your case, I would consider putting it in the washing machine after spraying it with pretreatment. You could always consider dyeing it if you can't get it clean enough.

Ah, no. Too much work! I'm a reseller. The last thing I want to do is sell something as authentic when it is not. I would have considered having it repaired before sale but this one doesn't seem like it will be worth it.

I really appreciate the info! Thanks.

It's still authentic even if you washed and rehabbed it. An authentic bag is authentic!

I want to say I bought this bag after 2014, I've had it for a while. Recently I decided to post on an app to sell. A customer asked for the serial number. I checked the bag but I couldn't find anything except the small tag that says "Made In China"... I know I bought it at the coach store but for my customers I want to secure them that its authentic.
Will someone assure me of this PLEASE? Thank you for your time

It's an authentic signature poppy swingpack. Someone else might know the style number.

I don't see a creed. I'd like to see a better picture of the made in tag and there should be a white label buried somewhere inside the bag. If there's a zippered pocket, it may be inside that, or in the open pocket or maybe sewn into the lining.

Thank you, I asked for additional pictures as I also don't see a creed, I do see a tag in the second pic, I can make out Made in but that's about it, hopefully more pictures will help. Thanks so much, I'll post as soon as I get them.
