It's authentic. The first digit isn't a C, it's a zero.

Thanks so much! Never used this Forum option before and I really appreciate two aithenticators jumping on the answer. Thank you both for this. Meredith

It's authentic but the first character is a "0" (zero), not C.

BTW, if you're the buyer and you do further business with the seller medadeals , be aware that she appears not to verify authenticity of her items.

This bag she sold is fake.

Both are genuine - Sonoma Soft Bucket, Natural Grain, notice that the color is listed as Sage although the photos make it look white. The seller also has a Negative for a previous listing.

As for the Lightweights Soho Bag, I don't know what that is on the inside, it almost looks like some kind of liquid that solidified. Nail polish, maybe? You might want to ask the seller, she says she welcomes any questions.

Thanks for both! Yes, the creed patch photo shows the color better than the other photos.

I will message the seller. Thanks again!

Both are genuine, from around 1987. Assuming her tape measure is accurate, I have NO idea why the seller is calling the second one a Watson Bag, they both look like City Bags but I didn't look at the pocket details very closely.

Thank you very much! I truly appreciate your expertise and willingness to share!

I am new to TPF, so apologies is I don’t do this right. Found an awesome vintage Coach bag at my favorite thrift. Looks to have serial numbers, not a creed. What I find strange is the location of this stamp. It is inside the front pocket under the flap. I can’t find any others like this to see if this is normal, and if anyone could authenticate it and knows the style name, that would be awesome. Buttery soft leather, really hoping it is real. Many thanks!!

Genuine, made in 2006. The exact name isn't in my files but it was probably something like "Hamptons Signature Studded Hobo"

For future authentications please use the format set out in post number One of this thread. We need to know if you own it and if it was bought recently, or if it's currently listed on a website and the URL of the listing.

I own it. I bought a trash bag full of purses, mostly Vera Bradley from a woman almost 2 years ago now & the COACH purse was in with them. I think I paid $10 for the whole bag of bags.

Authentic Station Bag, style #5130, from the 1980s. It does have a creed and a serial number. Prior to 1994, serial numbers didn't include the style number.

On the early Station Bags, the creed was sometimes stamped on the back wall of the front pocket like yours. Later it was stamped on the inside slip pocket.

P.S. Welcome to the Purse Forum!

I got this Coach as a gift and don't want to keep it but don't want to sell it if it isn't authentic. I hope I'm using this thread right! The number says: NoH1359-F27461

Hello everyone! I'm new here and new to Coach bags, but I'm trying to learn everything I can. I recently won an auction for what I'm hoping is an authentic bag. I naively bid on it, not realizing the huge number of fakes circulating out there. I wish I would have found this forum sooner, it's very educational!

Welcome to the purse forum. It's probably okay. There isn't a full clear picture of the creed but what I can see looks good.

Thanks so much for looking at it! That eases my mind a lot, I can snap a better picture of the creed when it arrives.
