Hi,
Not sure if I'm posting this in the correct location. 1st timer:smile:
I got this bag ages ago for a gift and I'm having a hard time figuring out the model?
The last 4 are - 4111 with the 1st numbers being 020. All I can find is a Café Bag but the inside of that
bag has different numbers. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Coach bags made before 1994 and with all-number serial numbers CAN'T be identified from the number since each number is unique and does NOT include any style or production codes. Don't waste your time trying. More information about Coach serial numbers, creeds and other details can be found in the six Salearea Coach Guides, starting here with post 14. We strongly suggest reading all of them, especially the ones on serial numbers and authenticity guides:

Yours is a genuine and vintage Binocular Bag, style number 9853 and probably made in 1990 or 1991. Here's Coach's original catalog page:

Good evening, is this bag fake? My understanding is it very much wants to look like the Carnival bag, but the outline of the pocket is wrong, and the d-rings are not the right kind for the model (as well as the strap which shouldn't be detachable and adjustable). Thank you!

I don't think there's any way to authenticate that bag with just one picture.

Yep, there's no way to know WTH it's supposed to be, and anyone who buys it with such a stinking lousy "description" is just asking for trouble.

If the outline of the pockets is wrong, maybe it's supposed to be something other than a Carnival Bag. Write to the seller and ask for more photos. We don't report anything as fake without solid proof and one useless photo can't prove anything.

It's authentic. It looks like a Sheridan Marietta. I love mine!

ETA: are you in Australia?
No, Jersey lol! I must have clicked an eBay link for Australia. I know occasionally hit click on Canadian eBay! eh!
I am very excited x 3. Have been wanting a green, a Sheridan and a drawstring. For $25! The dimensions are right.
Your black one is adorbs.Ty.

I knew you weren't in Australia! A few days ago when I bought something on ebay, the confirmation page was in Spanish!
