JJ61 - since you didn't put any text in your Post 32496, the forum's Quote feature isn't picking up your post. Please include some kind of text with anything you post even if it's just a period.

REPOSTING with again (thanks, Catbird9)
In the future, please include links to the website selling the bag, or information about when and from where you bought it if you have owned it for more than a few months. If you have owned it longer than a month or two, please say so. If its as expensive as the serial number indicates, assuming it's genuine, we need more information than just 2 photos. I can't even see the leather texture clearly in your photos.

Again, we need some sort of history, or what's called "provenance" in the antique trade.

We're also going to need more photos, but if we think it might be genuine we can ask for those once we track down a set of photos of a known genuine version for comparison.

Lol I think the last time I heard “provenance” I was watching one of the Keno brothers.

Yep, I've heard it slip from their lips once or twice.

Or if you're like me and have been waking up before 5AM, it's from repeated exposure to the early morning airings of the original UK version on Ovation every weekday. It sounds even better with a British accent.

In my next life I want to come back as Fiona Bruce.

I will have to look that up. I have been binge watching way too late into the night the other end of BBC like Unforgotten, DCI Banks, etc on Amazon Prime! When not posting on POS! bags : /

Ovation (which may still be a Comcast-only channel) 5-7 AM Central, subject to frequent changes.

The scenery on the UK version is so much nicer too - stately homes, actual castles, glorious gardens and picturesque ruins, instead of just local, albeit air-conditioned, exhibition halls. The Brits aren't afraid of a little rain!

Good evening. I am about to list this for sale and am getting cold feet. Please authenticate this Coach XL Duffle Bucket, presumably 9085. I am hoping it's Creed is just an oopsy and it is indeed 9085. I have more pictures if needed. Thank you. Thanks.

It's fine. It's not a typo; that's a random serial number from prior to 1994. It's a coincidence that the second half of the number has 908, as does the style number.

Genuine 9085. Bags made before 1994 don't include the style numbers. This one is from the early 1990s.

Read the Salearea Coach guides in the pinned thread at the top of the Coach Shopping index page for more information.

Good morning, everyone!

I would appreciate some assistance in authenticating this piece:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/631543656/genuine-vintage-coach-nyc-bonnie-cashin?ref=user_profile

Seller is on Etsy as VintageLeatherPurses. I thought it looks pretty good, however, wasn’t sure about those corners.

Thank you all in advance!

In my opinion, the bag is authentic. However the dye has changed the texture and sheen completely.

It's authentic. The attached inner leather loop and the dogleash attached to it are not Coach. I think the strap has been altered, made shorter. The short part looks too short, the buckle shouldn't be that close to the end, and the entire strap looks too short. It doesn't look like you would wear if crossbody.

Hello all! I’m here for the first time, because I’m stumped by this bag listed on Poshmark. I’m not sure of the style name, because it isn’t listed and google gives me no information. What is throwing me off is the spacing on the creed patch. There is no spacing before or after the word Vietnam. When I search the style number I see a tan/peachy kind of colored bag. Not like the bag pictured.
The seller’s username is debbiepetito15

Thank you so much for your insight!
