Comments: just looking to get authentication on this bag. Also looking to get a style name if known. There are other bags listed that also end with 4928, but none are the same style as this one. Thanks in advance for any responses!

It's an authentic stewardess bag #9525. The number 4928 doesn't mean anything. Bags with all numeric serial numbers don't show the style number. Coach didn't start showing style numbers in creeds until 1994, and you can tell the difference because those numbers will start with a letter.

It's a genuine Stewardess Bag from the early 1980s. Be advised that the seller HAS been known to sell the occasional fake. Not only don't they have their Coaches authenticated, but they also are completely misinformed about Coach serial numbers and how to determine when a bag was made, their descriptions are usually at least 5 to 10 years off and makes their items appear older than they actually are. We've discussed them before, a search of tPF's forum will bring up those posts. The bag in the listing is probably not from the 1970s as the seller claims.

If you want to give yourself a bit of a Coach education and give yourself a bit more protection from misinformed or untrustworthy sellers you should read and refer to the Salearea Guides posted at the top of each Coach Shopping index page. The Guides start around post 14.

I'm only seeing stock photos. We can't authenticate without photos of the actual bag. I'm not familiar with this website. You could contact Coach and ask them if it is an authorized seller of Coach.

I don't believe that site is an authorized site to sell Coach because they have an anonymous registration. Also, in the bag in question, the price tag is one that would have been made by the outlet (with an F style number) yet the bag (supposedly) isn't MFF.

The style seems to be made for the Asian market as I'm seeing it on Malaysian, Taiwanese and Chinese websites as well as Caroussel (Asian) and Asian Facebook pages.

I'm not familiar with the bag itself though I don't see anything obvious (yet) that might scream fake.

I'd like to know where the seller got the bag, whether the outlet, a boutique or other "supplier."

It's a brand new style. I saw in one of the Spring preview threads. It is unclear if it will be released here. Many new styles show up in Asia first.
