Hi ladies, I bought this a while back ago and just wondering about the creed code. It looks like a vintage bag but the code has more numbers and the “f” in front of the numbers. Does that mean it’s a newer remake of older style made for factory outlets?

It looks like a bag I used to have made of neoprene. It was a nice bag. What's the exterior of yours made of. Curious.

The creed in the bag she posted says it's leather. It's a Janice's Legacy.

 

[gaditana]

Yes, it is leather for sure but not as nice quality as the original vintage one imo.

We've heard many posters say that about the newer leathers. Coach has changed the type of leather they use over the last 20 years and I don't think we'll ever see those classic full-grain leathers again.

There;s a very interesting link that was posted here a few months ago, it's very long but is a fascinating read for serious Coach lovers about the changes in Coach leathers:

Hello,

Could you please authenticate this bag for me. I carried it around most of last summer. I believe that I picked it up at
Goodwill but I cannot be certain. Thank you.

hello. ebay says that this bag is a fake. i've been around coach bags my entire life and i'd bet my life that this bad is authentic, but they say they know for a fact it is fake. i'm at a complete loss here.

Ebay is right. You shouldn't have bet your life. A better creed picture would help. I bet it says made in the US, and the prefix is J8P. Even without the creed, I could tell it was fake by the shape of the padding over the turnlock.
