Good morning! Please authenticate before I pay. I know they have a certificate (I still question those) with it but still want to have the experts take a look. No inside photos unfortunately, I went out on a limb, because recently got a bag of this same color and it is beautiful! I think Flannel Gray? I don't know the style name of this bag. Thanks Ya'll!!

I don't recall this. Do you have a catalog page with a 9785 city bag? I have 9785 IDed as a zipper tote.


I have that too. By the 1987 Holiday catalog the style number had been changed to 9790, but in the paper copy of the 1987 Early Spring catalog it's listed as "NEW! 9785 City Bag $134". So it was changed some time in its debut year.

It's good.

Seriously though. This is from the description:
Country/Region of Manufacture: Unknown

Doesn't the person who writes the listing even look at the item? How hard is it to read the creed, see "made in NYC" and know the country/region of manufacture?

Thank you BeenBurned. I saw that too, my husband got a chuckle out of it! I also don't rely of those certificates, I've seen some really questionable bags with certificate of authentication.

Question? I just got a Basic bag NYC glue in # Looks legit, but the strap brass clip looks to be plated? It has an anchor on it, but has silver showing where brass has worn off. Did coach use any brass plate? I'm trying to send a photo.. F9E761BD-1686-4E2E-8C96-ED497A06A3DA_1_105_c.jpeg

A lot of Coach hardware was plated, especially after 1990. Coach bought from outside suppliers, and solid brass hardware especially clips would have been expensive and HEAVY. The bag is genuine.

Hi Authenticator/s, should I be concerned about this bag’s authenticity? Noted is the missing hyphen in its serial number. THANKS!!

Please authenticate
I purchased this (Lexy) on FB and never used it. It was sold as real. It only weighs 1.3 lbs and the leather doesn’t feel real And yet it doesn’t feel like plastic either no rips or tears and the hardware has not tarnished I’ve had for about a year. I can’t smell it the perfume is too strong.
it measures about 13” wide by 11” high by 4.5” deep.

Hello all- Lets try this again. I couldn’t delete this from yesterday and don’t want to clog the thread up with posting again.
