Are the bags made in 2011 made with the same type of soft leather that vintage coach bags are made of?

It's a complicated subject and depends on the bag, but NO, Coach began to phase out the full-grain leathers right around the time they began switching production to China.

There's a VERY long and detailed dissertation on the subject here, you may want to save the page for future reference:

Comments: Which model is this bag?

It's fine however the seller's title and item specifics claim the bag is US-made. If the seller had read the creed, she'd see that it says that it was made in Hungary. The bag is a Murphy and was made in 1998.
