Hello. Please authentic the NYC bag below. Can you also provide the style name? I am not locating anything. Thanks so much.

ITEM: On SALE COACHCoach Bag Rare 1980sVintage CoachCoach Bonnie | Etsy
SELLER: GutsyGirls
LINK: https://www.etsy.com/listing/645030...bag-rare-1980svintage?ref=shop_home_active_36

THAT SELLER IS ONE OF THE MOST INFAMOUS "MIXERS" ON ETSY OR ANYWHERE ELSE.

POSTERS ARE REMINDED TO SEARCH THE FORUMS FOR THE SELLER IDs OF ITEMS THEY'RE THINKING OF BUYING. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO DO THAT. There are five pages of links to posts mentioning her just in the combined Coach forums.

We don't authenticate items listed by certain sellers because even a "genuine" would seem like a recommendation to buy from them, and the authenticators here wouldn't recommend or buy from GutsyGirls if she was the last seller on Etsy. If you want a comprehensive education on how sellers can mislead, conceal and outright LIE about their items, read those 5 pages of links to our posts.

Seller ended the "Ergo" listing. Here's the creed:

It kind of looks like "full chain leather" and it definitely has "natural marXings. And that don't look like no Patricia's Legacy I've ever seen. "Seller removed it due to an error in the listing". (COUGH)
There is no place of manufacture in the creed wording. It has the old creed wording but not the made in line at the bottom of the creed. I think that is supposed to be an all numeric creed number but the style wasn't made until around 1997 when style numbers were in creeds.
 
Hello! I posted a while back about this bag after I won it on ebay. The seller's photos were not the best quality so I'm posting again with photos I took. Also, I feel that the hang tag is not the one that originally came on the bag, it doesn't look like the ones I've seen on bags from this time period.
Item: Coach Court 9870
Measurements: 9 x 7.5 x 3

It's authentic, and you're right about the hangtag.
