You didn't mention what site the bag was purchased from, but I was able to find the seller on Ebay. Is that where you bought it? And you said you bought it in a lot with some other bags, but the listing was cancelled?
I found a listing for 4 black
Coach bags, is this the one you bought?

Vintage Coach Black Leather Shoulder Bags For Sale
but I don't see any indication that it was cancelled, it's just shown as Completed. And if that's the one, why would you buy 4 bags with no photos at all of the insides or creeds and serial numbers, especially if you paid anywhere near the asking price shown in the listing?:If you've recently started buying on Ebay, you may be making some serious (and expensive!) rookie mistakes.
One other BIG problem other than the lack of any real photos is the fact that the description in the listing isn't even for the bags in the photos. Did you read it? It describes a single small
fabric Coach bag made in China. Then undernneath that description they added "Vintage Coach Black Leather Shoulder Bags For Sale. Condition is Pre-owned. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. One Court One 9085 One Stewardess and one Willis station all black" But describing the condition as "pre-owned" doesn't mean that you should expect an obviously re-dyed bag! And it's a really BAD dye job too, the original tan color is already showing through in places.
Technically you could probably file a SNAD claim since the are Significantly Not As Described, but you might get stuck for the return postage. And if one of the bags has been re-dyed that's another reason to insist that Ebay make the seller take them back. I don't care if it's one of those "Ebay for Charity" auctions, the sellers IMO gave NO actual description of the items or disclosed any issues with the bags.
As for the dye, I certainly would return it if it wasn't disclosed in the listing
or the photos. I would return all four and insist on a full refund including the seller paying for return shipping.

BeenBurned or another of our members that know how to effectively handle Ebay claims and problems can give you more advice. My own advice would be to NEVER bid on any highly faked brand, Coach or otherwide, without a full set of photos that at least allow an authenticator to say if the bag's real or not. And for heaven's sake. READ THE SELLER"S FEEDBACK! They have
five recent Negatives and for the same kind of problem you're having:

Apparently the seller doesn't even offer returns so your only option is to file a claim with Ebay. Wait for instructions from the experts here before doing that, and DON'T accept any kind of offer from the seller that leaves you stuck with only a partial refund or the shipping charges. Handle is as a claim with Ebay or Paypal if that's how you paid, wait for our advice. You made some expensive mistakes and got ripped off but I hope we can help you get your money back. Please, don't EVER do this again.
And no one should consider buying ANYTHING from Ebay seller "

ETA - This is the same Stewardess that was shown as SOLD here and even has photos of the inside showing the obvious bad dye job. No wonder they closed that listing and added the bag to a "lot" and didn't show any of those photos in the new listing. That to me says "deceptive":
