Hyacinth, Thank you for your time!

You'll find a lot of good information especially about older and vintage bags in the 6-part Salearea Coach Guides, they're listed as a separate thread that's Pinned to the top of every Coach Shopping index page:

It's not vintage. I don't recognize this exact style and don't recall exactly when bags like this were released, but I think around 2012 - 2013. Sorry, I can't give an opinion about authenticity.

Thanks @whateve I didnt think it was vintage either, I guess one of those oddball "let's bring back a heritage style" thing.

Grateful for any help. I already purchased and it was delivered last week. Seller claimed authentic, but I’m too inexperienced to recognize yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Item: Rambler ?

If you haven't bought that bag, I recommend against it. It's fake.

The style is well-faked and there are some pieces of paperwork shown in listing that haven't been included from Coach for over 10 years.

Additionally, the tag is fake, has description that shows the name of the color as "peacock" but the color code (upper right corner) and the UPC code are for oxblood. Additionally, the font and spacing on the tag is incorrect. (Compare to 3 authentic examples of tags and see the differences.)

If the tag and props are fake and an effort was made to make the name of the color on the tag to match the bag, you can be sure the bag is fake too.
