Please remember, we require measurements for older bags that don't have style numbers stamped inside, ESPECIALLY when posters also want them identified. See the first post in this thread - "Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.".

My sincere apologies, Hyacinth! I was actually convinced the last bag wasn't authentic because it seemed so very un-coach-like!
Thank you so much for the authentication! I'll move this over to the ID thread and post measurements for the putty bag.

I think it's the saddlery bag.

Thanks so much! I'm collecting catalog pictures because my memory has gotten so bad.

I'm posting this here as well as on the Poshmark thread on the Ebay subforum.

Because I've been pretty transparent and open in my contempt toward Poshmark for what I believe are good reasons, here's another reason to avoid the site.

I got this message from Lifelock and it included my main email address which was hacked:

May I please request an authentication of this Coach Bag currently in my possession? I bought it off of Craigslist today. It measures 12L x 2W x 9H, approximately. Thank you!

May I please request an authentication of this (1972 Federal?) bag in my possession? I bought it off of Craigslist today. It measures 8L x 3W x 8H, approximately and it is pre-creed with a metal tag. Thank you!

 

[Morgan_Bellini]

May I please request an authentication of this (suspender?) bag in my possession? I bought it off of Craigslist today. It measures 11.5W x 2W x 9H, approximately. I'm not comfortable with the zipper pull used on this bag and with the seam over the inside pocket. I think it's fake. Thank you.

WOW! You had an amazing day!

They ALL look genuine to me. The first one looks like a 9695 School Bag from the 1980s.

I don't think those are problems. The zipper may have been replaced, or that may just have been one of the ways Coach made them back then. But wait for WHATEVE to have a look. I think you have three very interesting bags,

Are you kidding me!?!?!? I have been sick to my stomach since I bought these bags because they looked suspicious to me once I got home and had time to inspect them. I have so little experience with these much older bags. Ohmygoodness thank you! I can sleep tonight now.
