Comments: Wondering if this is an authentic bag. The seller sent me a pic of the creed at my request.View attachment 4438476
Thanks in advance!

Genuine, from the late 1980s. I just need a few minutes to come up with the name.

ETA - It looks like a Compartment Bag, style 9850. From the Summer Preview 1989 catalog:

Title: Vintage COACH L6C- 5180 Metropolitan Leather Messenger Attache Tan
Item: 163686523929
Seller: freeoftheuser

Comments: I'm questioning this bag. The serial number looks "different" from other 1996 C plant creeds.
ETA: There seem to be way too many borders around the Coach name too. (I'm sure I know the answer to this one!)
Yes, it's fake.

Did you notice that the handle rings are silver while the rest of the hardware is brass?
