Yes, it's a genuine 1996 Bleeker (spelled without the "C" during the first year or two Coach used the name). And it's a Spring 1996 color called Ocean.

(The street in NYC is actually spelled "Bleecker" so whoever misspelled it when naming the first Bleekers must not have been a native New Yorker. Coach got it right on all the styles that came later).

I didn’t report this listing so it must’ve looked really bad. Off the top of my head I recall the font of the creed just looked suspiciously flat and wide. The style number was right but I think the plant code was potentially problematic.

I'm going to guess - was the prefix "K3H-"?

Hi,
Right now I'm having a conversation with a seller regarding a Regina. I asked or a creed picture. He says that the Reginas don't have them. He did identify the bag and gave me a model number though, 9983. Is this correct?

To clarify, it's on Facebook messenger, the bag is unusually cheap and he's Being kind of cagey. Walk away?

I missed the listing too but my curious nature sent me looking for a cache of the listing. (They aren't always available but sometimes I get lucky.)

The link won't always work so here are some of the pictures.

(Nope, not a K3H bag though my records show that the seller had D6J, C3S (with US text), J8P (with US text) and JHM creeds in the past)





Edit: The google link doesn't show what I found. Here's a screenshot. rb.moore's listing was correctly removed.

If the Facebook page isn't public, if you can't post pictures, if we can't see pictures and if the seller is uncooperative, hit the back button!

Haha! He was selling the "Regina" with a coach wallet that I had no interest in. The guy tried to be all authoritative - " check online, these smaller bags don't have creed patches" I went back to him and said that most definitely the Reginas did. He countered with: "yes, I think the bag is a copy but the wallet is Coach. Still a good deal at $30". It was originally $75 for the pair!

wow that is some next level web-sleuthing. @Hyacinth this was what I came across earlier. Just looked weird enough that I thought I’d check here.
