Name: Stewardess Bag (C0C-9525)
Measurements: ~11 1/4 x 10 1/2 x 4 1/2. Strap ~41

I believe the strap on this should be 42in. If authentic, curious to hear thoughts on if it's typical for well worn straps to lose an inch...

I found this old post with a C0C creed that was deemed authentic: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-1087#post-30519327

Thanks so much everyone.

Genuine, made in 2000. Coach can change specifications like strap length any time they want - what year's measurements are you using? And people can measure things differently, or straps can shrink if they're washed.

Don't sweat the small stuff :smile:

Thank-you so much. I really appreciate the info. Is the Manhattan Collection desirable still? I wasn't able to find anything on the internet except for one that is back and for sale on multiple websites and has a very different serial #. I was under the impression that the 4 numbers - 3 numbers were from the 80's. I was wrong. I love the purse and am going to use it. Cheers,
The Manhattan Series was introduced around 1993, before Coach began using style numbers in the serial numbers. Therefore, you probably wouldn't be able to find many of them listed for sale with the style number, or the correct name. Like yours, the black one you saw may have a unique serial number that has nothing to do with the style number.

Here are some catalog pics:.

Dear authenticators,

May I request an authentication of this Coach Patricia’s Legacy bag in my possession? The dimensions are 11” by 11” by 4”. Thanks so much for your time.

Hello, all. It's a lovely day here in Suburban Philadelphia and I hope anyone else in the area is outside enjoying the perfect temperatures. If, however, you, like me, can't stop scrolling through ebay, I was hoping someone could authenticate this and, maybe, take a stab at the color. I'm thinking it's somewhere in that tabac / putty / something brown Bermuda triangle of colors that I'm just not conversant with. Thanks in advance!
