Wondering about whether the color is original.
Do you know whether Coach made bags in purple at this time?
And if the Devon was available in purple?

I noticed that a while back, you authenticated a Devon for @Belicious that seems to be the same.

It's authentic. The color is original.

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!

It's authentic. The color looks different in all the pictures. I can't tell.

Thank you so much for the fast reply.

Have you seen any other 1995 bags in that purple color? I've seen Purple in 1993 but nothing so far in the 1995 catalogs. The piping looks like a slightly different color too.

It does look like the same bag as the one that was authenticated before. I'm just not comfortable with that being the original color.

The only one I have is the one we saw February 2018 on this thread.

ETA: I had a purple Becket zip from 1993. I think the color was darker and more red than this.

Yes, I had a 1993 purple Station Bag and it was a reddish shade of purple. A bit blotchy too. I'd still have it but a previous owner had shortened the strap and I didn't notice until it was too late to return it.

Being a purple purse junky, I probably looked at every classic purple leather bag on Ebay for at least 10 years (the saved Search is still on my "My Ebay" pages), and never found any besides the ones made in 1993 that were in the '93 catalogs, and some from 1997 in that same reddish-purple that were 1997 catalog exclusives. Never any bags from 1995 especially anything that I would have bought in a heartbeat as long as it was a medium to large size and had a crossbody strap.

There was no blu-ish-purple shade that I've found in listings or catalogs until the Ink color in 1998.

I did a bit of hunting too (because I must have been bored) and found a few purple pre-1994 bags, a couple of 1997s and this from 1998; not crossbody but definitely purple.

I also found this one, also 1998:

I wasn't able to find any from 1995 either.

ETA: More 1998s but still no '95s.

I don't know where seller #4, Kristy - @mysuperthrift gets her information but that bag is NOT 1970s and was NOT made by Coach. And it's certainly NOT "a classic look."
(Look at the spelling on the creed: SCRTCHES and MARK-INGS!)

And if you ever buy a fake from PM, don't expect their "experts" to recognize the bag as fake. You may have a hard time winning a dispute.

1- We need a readable photo of the creed and serial number. Maybe the seller can send or post one?
2- genuine, probably an early 1990s Compartment Bag Spectator style 6850
3- genuine late 1980s Court Bag style 9870
4- FAKE
