Thanks! I think that one is the lime, the one in the eBay listing is the Apple right? I think it is style 8955

Hi authenticators, would someone be able to double check this one for me? In hand, let me know if you need any additional pictures.

Comments: noticed the inside pocket has no stitching along the top, maybe normal or repaired?

Thank you, hope the week is off to a good start!

Dear Authenticator, is the attached a genuine Coach bag? Thank you in advance. Btw, I always thought that genuine vintage Coach only came with brass (gold tone) hardware but noticed that some were made with silver tone hardware too.

Comments: There’s a circle ⭕️ impression on the creed, what does this signify? Is this a Sonoma Double Zip? 4941 seems wrong as threads I’ve read indicate a double zip is style #4914? Year 1995? Thank you.

Authentic, made in 1994. Great price!

Thank you @whateve! I’m going to try and rehab/rescue myself and will pop before/after photos up when she’s finished x

I don't see anything that alarms me either but I'm not even sure they're the identical items although they might be from the same collection. Neither listing has some of the same views.

Both listings look good to me.

ETA: The bags with alligator were from 2004-2006-ish.

Most of the Sonomas from the 1990s were available in 2 different leathers, Natural Grain and Nubuc, so the 2 versions will have 2 different style numbers just like the one you're asking about. Usually the Natural grain style number ran up to 4929 and the Nubuc versions started at 4930.

The Bullseye stamp in genuine bags indicated an item that was either sent to the factory Outlet stores from the full-price stores, or in some items from before the mid-2000 decade indicated an item that had been made SPECIFICALLY for the outlets (MFF) and never been in the inventory of any of the full-price (FP) boutiques. Having that stamp does NOT prove that an item is an authentic Coach so please don't consider it as positive proof of authenticity.

We call the "circle ⭕ impression on the creed" an outlet bullet and on an authentic bag, it indicates that a bag that was made for the boutiques and department stores was sent to the outlet. So the bag with a bullet was purchased from a Coach outlet store.
