Went on a bit of a binge lately and would like a couple of purchases authenticated please. Both are in my possession now.

Vintage Coach Court Black Leather Top Handle Bag w Shoulder Strap Made in USA
eBay item 264801895015
seller bin.hopper
note: Obviously not a Court bag but would love the name/style number if available.

Vintage Coach Brown Leather Bucket Tote Bag Great Condition
eBay item 164297632512
seller alettertochrissy
note: I have a bad feeling about this one. I have it in hand and it looks almost new. The creed says nubuc cowhide but this is pebbled leather. Also strangely it smells more like goat leather-- which is not bad but just weird (I have Coach Kristin in goat leather that I love). I will attach a better creed photo.View attachment 4810631


I think the first one is ok, Avenue Bag style 9886 from 1990 or 1991. If there's any way you can get a better photo of the serial number so we can make sure the number font is right, that would help.

The second one also looks ok, it's a Sonoma Small Drawstring Natural Grain that probably just had the wrong patch put in it, they used one for the Nubuc styles instead of the Natural Grain styles. I don't see any other problem with it, ignore my (deleted) comment about needing a pic of the zipper pull, I see that you oncluded it in your photo.

That’s good news— bit of a relief. I searched every listing I could find for the Sonoma drawstring and everything looked right including number font and alignment but not the nubuc. Here is a photo of the Avenue bag serial number (thanks also for the name and style number). 194728B4-1D8B-40E6-8422-85E93694DCEF.jpeg
