Hello Authenticators,

Thanks for your help on my bags so far!

Today I’m looking for help authenticating this bag. I am not sure of the style, but the buckle has the anchor marking (made in the 80’s?)

This is from my own collection and I'm not sure of the source. However, I noticed the turnlock is peeling and I thought it was odd the zipper pull on the inner pocket looks silver. I'm happy to provide additional photos of the hardware if needed.

It is approximately 11” long and 8.5” tall.

Thanks again for your work!

Hello Authenticators,

I’m looking for help with authenticating this bag - a Duffle Sack? (80's or early 90's)?

It is from my own collection and I don’t recall where I got it. The creed is quite faded so I've adjusted the contrast - please let me know if it's still not clear.

It is approximately 11” tall and 8” across the bottom.

Thanks again for your help!

ETA - I had one of the early Station Bags from the late 1980s that was a 2-tone British Tan with black trim, but it had actually been done by Coach back in the day when they offered a repair service. The previous owner had sent it in for repair because the piping had been damaged and needed to be replaced. The bag was originally a solid Tan, but the color had darkened over the years, so the repair people, with the owner's OK, had replaced the tan piping with black, and also had changed the turnlock tab color, replaced the tan top handle with a black one, and sent her a solid black strap just like the original tan one. They did a very nice job too, even the stitching was Coach quality. Sometimes I wish I had kept that bag just because it was so unusual, but it was just too small for all the things I needed to carry, it barely held my full size wallet and my driving glasses.

EATA - Didn't realize that I still had a photo of it :

I'm giving her a photo shoot tomorrow. I hate trying to get good pics of the inside of these bags with my big phone. I had to take and retake them to satisfy Mercari as the authenticators app wont let you upload pics from file, add comments , has a ridiculous close up feature that makes it impossible to get the whole creed tag in the photo. Then they make you take two more of it for where it's made and the number. It wont let you upload them until you do, and apparently they arent even looking at your post because I had to write on a piece of paper that the bag had the color change done to it by me and take a picture of that.

I used to be a beta tester for software and the way some of these marketplaces have their software designed makes me crazy!

I think it is a spectator bag 9795 (pocket under flap) or 9796 (no pocket under flap), made in the late 80s.

Item: Vintage COACH envelope clasp shoulder bag (Gramercy 7000, 1998, $50)
Seller and site where listed: baileylove1997; Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-COACH-envelope-clasp-shoulder-bag-5e778c8fffc2d40dbaf6a881

Comments: I made an offer and got this bag for $50 and I think that it is a genuine Gramercy Clutch from 1998 but I am not familiar with any Gramercy bag that has style number 7000.

It is similar to this Wheat Gramercy Clutch 7007 on Etsy:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/577618...f=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1&cns=1

Pictures of the creed are below and there are more pics of the bag on the listing. Please give an opinion about authenticity and any information you may have about style number 7000, thank you!

It's authentic. I don't have the style number 7000 in my files. There are a few differences between your bag and 7007, for example, the way the strap attaches, the flat bottom with feet, and the leather pocket with the creed on it. I think yours was an early version; a version I think it superior.
