I'm interested in this Nomad but there is no creed patch or sewn in patch. It was purchased at an outlet and not sure if this is one made for outlet but still using the Nomad name but it has no number on the creed patch. Do you know if some Nomads were made with this creed inside? I couldn't easily find any reference to this in prior posts with the search engine. Thank you!

Item: Coach Nomad in burnished leather - surplus F37905
eBay item number: 392774526635

Thank you!
In your first sentence, you say there's no creed patch buy there is one without a serial number.

Please request that the seller check the inside of the bag, especially deep inside the bottom of the zipped pocket for a white tag with 2 rows of writing. She may have to turn the pocket inside out to find it.

ETA: I can't tell you how frustrating it is to search listings for examples and so few sellers have adequate pictures! Surprisingly, here's an Entrupy authenticated listing from Goodwill that actually shows the picture and an example of an authentic bag! (Entrupy gets it right so infreuqntly!)

Welcome to TPF.

Is this bag listed somewhere? Please refer to the first post with the yellow background at the top of each page of this thread. It describes all the info we need.
No this bag is not listed anywhere as of yet. I purchased from a Coach store not an out let several years ago. There is no ID or authentication number, etc. it is in great condition and I want to list it for sale but do not know style. Thank You

Please post a picture of the white tag when you find it.

Thank you! I guess what I meant was there was no number on the patch. Coach confusion at its best with this one!

If you're going to buy, request the picture from the seller. Fakes sometimes have a label and the information and font are important to verify that it's authentic. (I don't see any red flags in the listing, but the seller should have that picture.)
 
I just had my refinished willis station bag booted off of Mercari saying only they were unable to authenticate it. 'I've been buying, selling and customizing vintage coaches for years. Never have less than 3 in my closet and my first Coach bag my mom bought me in San Francisco when I was 12. I have, until now, been 100 percent confident in my ability to spot a fake.
So here it is , pardon my hands I just finished refinishing this bag. I bought her in a lot of vintage leather coaches last fall from the San Antonio online store.
