Good evening! I am new around here, but have done a fair bit of lurking. I hope it's ok that I jump right in. Thank you!

Item: Coach City (?) bag
Comments: Many little details seem off. Areas without red dye, zipper color, cannot confirm Creed No., etc.

welcome! Remember to tell us where you got it, if it is in your possession, if it was purchased online, the name of the seller, a link to the online listing.

It is authentic. It was made in the early 90s when Coach used unique serial numbers that had no relation to the style. The areas without dye are where they shaved the leather before sewing the seam.

Wow, thank you whateve for the speedy reply! I just received the bag I purchased online, and took all the pictures myself right now.

Having been burned with a fake bag before, I am so relieved to hear that. The bag is in such excellent condition which had me doubting that it could be almost 30 years old. I guess it's absolutely worth it to have the strap buckle properly repaired then.

You're welcome. When you purchase online, we like a link to the listing and the seller's name, as we keep information on sellers to help buyers determine which sellers to trust.
