The pictures on the first Poshmark are so tiny! I think it is okay. The station bags are both authentic.

Hi,

I also bought this bag from goodwill recently. After it was washed and dried, I started to condition the bag with chamberlain's leather milk and balm. I noticed that the color started to rub off the bag when I'm polishing. I'm just wondering if it's fake or someone has dyed it or put polish on it. Every time I rub it with a cloth, color comes off.

Here is the link of the original listing.

Here are the pics after I washed and conditioned.

The bag is authentic and looks like a basic bag, style 9455.

I can't comment on polish; wait for other advice.

Thank you. It's so strange about the color coming off...
The dyes Coach used in the 80s weren't colorfast. I've had color come off when buffing but it has never rubbed off onto my clothes.

Comment: P plant code, made in United States, wrong fonts and spacing? I know nothing about travel bags, maybe these wonky creeds are OK?

Both are genuine, the P plant code with a USA creed was valid for these styles of travel and duffle bags in 1995. The line was called Travelweave. 563 was the Travelweave Medium Duffle Bag and 564 was the Large Duffle Bag. The creeds are correct.
