I have searched and my bag looks like a station bag but has a serial number which is different with no hyphenView attachment 4794763View attachment 4794764View attachment 4794765View attachment 4794766View attachment 4794763View attachment 4794764View attachment 4794765View attachment 4794766! I would love to know if this is genuine coach and what age it is. I bought this on Sunday from a lady at a yard sale in Gotham, England for £3. If it is genuine I will keep it forever, love it.


It's genuine, a Station Bag from the early 1990s. So keep it forever and love it! :smile:

Wow, that's quite the bargain! I looked up to see what £3 is worth in USD:
3 Pound sterling equals 3.80 United States Dollar

Hi

I have just purchased this ‘bastardised’ bag from Depop. I am hoping she is a vintage authentic Coach who has just been badly pimped. Any confirmation of authenticity welcomed and guidance as to her Design name, DOB etc. I will be removing the fringing by hand, and hoping the stitching holes left behind aren’t too ugly. Thank you very much for your time.
Purchased: Depop Seller “Madisonjlc” (UK)
Dimensions: 11” x 7” x 2.5” x 2”, Handle Drop: 16”.
Creed Patch: Clear but blank in reference/design/style
“Talon” Zipper, unusual little anchor stamp on the lobster claws.
Many thanks for your time.

It's a genuine Basic Bag from some time between the mid 1970s and very early 1980s.

Hi authenticators! I have a Coach bag that was donated to my Church for our annual rummage sale. I just want to verify it’s real before selling. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
