Good morning, authenticators.

Item: COACH Vintage Bucket Feed Leather Shoulder Bag Orange
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Vintage-Bucket-Feed-Leather-Shoulder-Bag-Orange-/153709719983?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&nma=true&si=fwV68zeZXPUrUGntedunBZcb1P0%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc
Item number: 153709719983
Seller: clickngo

So, full confession time. This listing has ended and I was the high bidder. To be honest, I decided against authenticating here first because I knew I was going to face lots of competition as it was and wasn't wanting to bring on more. The bag arrived today and I will attach better photos than were available in the listing.

I confess, also, to having re-read all of the Salearea guides before bidding. As well, I read extensively on here through everything I could find on the older duffle sac styles. While I know that the Coach cartouche was an authentic way of branding a Coach bag, I was surprised to see the cartouche on the inside pocket. One other thing that jumped out at me was the way the buckles are attached. I was expecting a single rivet but never actually saw the buckle on a separate leather tab attached to the body of the bag.

So, is it authentic? I will happily await your opinions prior to either contacting the seller or drawing a bath for her orange-ness. Thank you so much in advance. Anyone on the East Coast, stay warm!!

Post Number One of this thread explains what we need to see when there's no serial number on the creed patch, please read it if you haven't done so already:
Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
  • 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.
  • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.
There should be a second tag with 2 lines of digits, probably deep in the inside zipped pocket. We need a photo of that tag to authenticate.
