It's an authentic classic pouch, also called a classic shoulder bag, #9170. The strap looks original. Sometimes they were a little sloppy at the overlap. I can't tell if it was always like that or if it was repaired.

About when was it made?

Hello! I wonder if anyone might take a look at this old crossbody with a 3-4 number code? Thanks so much for any help authenticating. (:

At one time, the founder of Coach called this style the original Coach bag! It was made some time from the late 70s to the late 80s.

Yes, this kind of thing is fascinating. I wonder since Coach did distribute to retailers, if it was related to a retailer? Or was it stamped on a piece of leather before it was cut? What a job it had to be simply to organize all the pieces of leather after they were dyed.

Thank you so much!!!

Hi Beenburned

I just realized the creed says Hug it. Drape it. Squeeze it the leather will soften over time and take on a quality uniquely yours.
Does that sound right? Making me worried.

Good morning! Is this a fake? Thank you!

That bag looks nothing like mine, mine has a pocket, this one clearly does not

@Jackiejr22
Front has the Coach logo, back has pocket.

For the benefit of others, I'm posting the listing. The seller shows the pocket side in picture #1. She doesn't show the other side but THIS LISTING shows both sides - see pic 1 and pic 2. And THIS LISTING shows both front and back in pictures 1 and 4.

This is the listing from which the bag was purchased and the bag (AGAIN) is fine.

The creed is correct for the style of bag.

Creeds have changed over the years. Format changed, wording changed, font, font color and numbering changed. On an authentic bag, the creed has to be correct for the bag it's on.
