I’ve been in a buying spree. I think this is the last one for a while. Maybe...haha
Thank you so much!

That can't be authenticated. The creed photo seems to be from a totally different bag. The seller says in the Description that the serial number is L6C-9977 which indicates 1996 but the creed and serial in the photo are from before 1988. And neither serial number is from the 1970s. If you can get a creed and serial photo from the bag in the listing, we'll take a look at it.

Hoping this one is real too! I kind of pounced on this one impulsively. Thank you for your help.

I think the seller just posted the creed from a different bag she'd sold. This is the listing from which the creed came.

Hello all please take a look at this bag. Does anyone have an opinion whether it would rehab well or if it is too far gone?

It's authentic. Rehabbing is going to be very difficult. It looks pitted on the bottom. I don't think that will improve. The wrinkles won't get better either. Since it is a lightweight, the color won't come back that well. I think you'll probably need to add a little color to your conditioner.

I had asked for a picture of the creed and that’s what they posted but I will contact them to make sure it’s the picture for the correct bag. Thanks

Thank you whateve. I had a feeling that would be the general opinion about rehabbing it. At a measly 40 bucks shipped it might be worth practicing a difficult rehab on out of boredom while we are all stuck at home. Plus I want to try out that sling style, and I predict I will not care for it over time.

Woo hoo! Thank you so much!

Genuine, style 27481 is a Taylor Flap. It's too new to have been in any catalogs and definitely isn't vintage since it was just made in 2014. The one in the listing was made for the Factory Stores. If you search ebay using "coach 27481" you should find plenty of listings and information.

Thank you @Hyacinth for all the extra info! Makes you wonder how sellers determine their bag(s) to be "vintage".

Genuine, from the 1999 Chelsea line but I don't have a name for it. Small Tote or Book Tote maybe.
If you need rehab info you may have to wait for Whateve, I have no rehabbing experience.

Are you the buyer? Please don't pay yet. I don't believe it's authentic.

Other opinions are welcome!

I don't believe it's authentic either. Here's a 1996 C plant creed for comparison (different month and style number):
