Here are the rest of my recent thrift store purchases in need of authentication. After this I've put the kibosh on new purchases until I work through my rehab pile.... maybe :giggles:

Legacy Slim Duffle (or bucket?) C0N-9060
11.5" x 12" x 5"
This creed seemed kinda puffy but I'm not so familiar with bags from Mexico and so hoping this is appropriate to factory/month.

And the third and final...

Poppy Applique Bag (name?) J05Q-9184
7.5" x 7.25" x 2" (give or take)
I've never seen the fabric patch sewn inside along with the leather creed patch. Also the creed is sewn behind the front wall of the bag rather than the back wall as usual.

Item: Coach Devon Bag
Listing number:
Seller: magnoliavintageco
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/228075084/vintage-coach-bag-devon-bag-black?ref=shop_home_active_4
Comments: This is my first time researching into a vintage Coach bag. I can't find too much information about the Devon bag as it's not as popular, but it looks like it's from the 1980s so the serial number doesn't really mean anything. Can anyone take a look at this listing and let me know if I should go for it? It seems to be in really great shape. Is there any other information I should ask the seller?

The bag isn't from the 80s. The creed shows the style number: 9908. The bag was made in 1995. It is authentic.

Please FORGET about any serial number "guides" that you might be using for information, especially the one by a certain Ebay seller with a motorcycle brand in his name, they're almost all partly or completely inaccurate.

Use the following Guides to help you understand serial numbers, creeds, classic and vintage bags, and especially to find out the truth about most of the so-called "rules" posted in the vast majority of online guides:

Use this one to figure out pre-China serial numbers and creeds:
