Hi! Recently came across your knowledgeable group and am wondering if you can help authenticate this bag:
Item: Station Bag
Listing number: 164067718365
seller: littlemissmuffett808
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/EXCELLENT-Vintage-COACH-Tan-STATION-CROSS-BODY-BAG-HANDBAG-USA-5130-NICE/164067718365?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Comments: Recently purchased this bag. Upon receipt bag felt stiff and dry (I've been working it and it's been softening up) and light. Also, it has the bullseye mark which I read somewhere that it means that it was sent to an outlet--but based on the serial number and age of creed, did an outlet exist back then? *Also, the hangtag was stamped with Coach (doesn't say leatherware underneath). If it's authentic/ inauthentic could you let me know how you came to that conclusion? Thanks again!

Thanks in advance!

It's authentic. It was made in the early 90s. Around that time they had transitioned out of the hangtags that had leatherware under the logo.

Lucky you! It's authentic.

Lucky you! It's authentic.

Many thanks, whateve! That trip I also picked up a black NYC courier which I'll ask about when I get decent pictures. I wanted to check on this one because I'm going to give a shot rehabbing it today. It's some sort of blue (I think...)

Hi! Can you please authenticate this for me? Thanks!
Item: mini cross body???? I don’t know this style name

I found this bag that I really like but it’s only available on eBay. The bag is a Coach Patchwork Dreamer 21. I have attached pictures. If anyone could authenticate this for me, it would save me a lot of time and money. The eBay seller is ‘spadesfan’ and the Listing is #174228331796. Please help! Thanks!

Hi Authenicators, I thought I remembered recently there being a comment regarding a more squared end of a leather hang tag and that indicating it was vintage vs. the more rounded shape of newer (or less vintage) leather hang tags. In searching I can't find that info again. Can anyone help or am I just imagining that info was here? Is there any info/guideline to pinpoint when Coach used a particular style of hang tag? Thanks!
