You're welcome! Coach used to give away turnlocks if they were broken but since this bag wasn't supposed to have a turnlock, I don't know if I would ask. You should be able to find them on ebay.

They still do. I got one a couple months ago when a prong broke on a Lenox bag I rehabbed. All I had to do was email their customer service and tell them what I needed and the color

You have to give them a style number, so she would have to make one up since that style isn't supposed to have a turnlock. Did you get a package of 2?

They're authentic.

Sizing in Coach shoes is as inconsistent as their "rules." In my experience, they never run true-to-size. They're either a full size larger or smaller than they should be!

Thanks, BeenBurned!

Happy New Year to all!

And this one too please. I am not familiar with these last two bags, as I usually go for older bags from Coach, as I love the older 1990's leather.

Any info much appreciated thanks.

There aren't any red flags but the description is lacking and the creed picture is illegible.

Just one, although it would've been nice to get 2 to have a second one on hand! And yes, I had to tell them the style number too so they knew I needed it. They might just be sending out one at a time because they've been popping up on eBay. I almost bought one on an auction but it took just as long for the free one to arrive as it probably would have had I bought one online!

I've never seen one where the serial number was so poorly placed. Is that a red flag?https://www.etsy.com/listing/214674355/vintage-coach-bag-coach-saddle-bag?ref=shop_home_active_19

Then you haven't looked at many vintage Coaches. Misaligned numbers were very common. There's nothing wrong with that bag.

It's fine. That isn't a red flag since the numbers were on a different stamp than the creed. It isn't unusual to find the numbers at an angle, like this one.

Thank you both. And I am a total neophyte at all this, you're so right!
Unfortunately I am finding it quite addictive.

This one is made of Legacy Garcia vachetta leather, I believe. I think the leather is very nice.

This one is a Poppy from a few years ago. It is probably #19768. The leather is waxed calfskin. It has a crackled appearance. It's probably not as noticeable on the black but you can get an idea of how it looks in these pictures:

You're welcome! This is probably the wrong place to be if you want to beat the addiction! We are all addicts and we love the enable!
