Nice! I’ve been waiting to find that at one of my thrift stores. Only found two fakes.
I was super excited when I found it. Lol I've been wanting one like this for awhile now but the ones I've found are 80-100. Which I guess in hindsight isn't awful if it's in good condition, but I just can't justify paying that much when I get lucky enough to find it later on. Lol
There are sooo many fakes at my Goodwill, they're the obvious flaky straps, wonky lettering, signature C's inside and out. I only buy if it looks and feels real to me. I've bought a couple fakes by accident awhile back but they were REALLY good fakes. But I was only out 4 dollars and I destroyed them so no one else would get ripped off. I'm going back in a few days, I'll let y'all know if I find anything else!

Hi! I missed out on the first Navy Court bag I posted awhile back, but I came across this one. Would love any guidance on authenticity, and if authentic, the possible year (could it be from the 70's?). TIA!

Item: Coach Court, Navy
Listing number: 174194825169
Seller: onesllewis
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...825169?hash=item288ed217d1:g:VecAAOSwjG5eSyGI

The Court Bag was first introduced in the Fall of 1989. The all-numeric serial number in the format XXXX-XXX on your bag dates it to around 1990-1993.
