It's authentic. We need measurements in order to ID. It could be a Lightweights cafe bag #4111 from around 1993.

Thank you whateve! The measurements are exactly as listed on your attachment. Sorry for not providing. Thank you again for your help! So happy to have found this cutie!

I do know they are a challenge. View attachment 4901084Thank you beenburned. I do have it in my possession, I can take a close up of the back.

I'm less comfortable now. Although my hangtag isn't quite the same style as yours, there are differences that (to me) don't seem correct. (I don't have a brushed/antique brass tag to compare.)

I've done some comparison side-by-sides:
View attachment 4901099View attachment 4901100View attachment 4901101

The font used on the back of the "in question" one just doesn't look like a Coach font. There isn't even an attempt to put a serif on the Cs, the crossbar on the A is so high it's invisible, and the letters seem to take up just a bit too much space at the ends. I'm not 100 percent sure, but I wouldn't buy it.

For what it's worth, I have a brass hangtag from a Coach Bleecker tote that I have been carrying on a duffle sac. Here are some other comps.

Whoa, that's a big tag! Thanks for posting!

Thank you! Your pictures are much more of an "apples to apples" comparison than mine are/were.

My opinion is that the hang tag in question is fake but I recommend waiting for other opinions.

Thank you for the side by side.

The logo on the back is what really bothers me. I don't think I've ever seen an authentic cartouche with that exact shape and little amount of spacing above and below the letters.

Yes, it is clearly different. However, it is smaller than even the vintage sized hang tags I am used to.
Thanks all for responding. It is a small detail, I appreciate the time being given to it. I plan on keeping it. It cleaned up a small bit and I think I will give it home on my mahogany Berk flap

Ty, I just posted after you. My friend bought it at the GW outlet where you buy things by the pound. I am not even sure that would have added significantly to the weight of her other purchases. She just knows I really enjoy my Coach. She has been the recipient of many pouches I have picked up and authenticated here so she enjoys my Coach thrifting too.
Thanks for your input also.

It looks like it’s missing the back plate on the turnlock. And yet it still has the hangtag..

Seller: faitteyeche_0

I don't believe anything from faitteyeche_0 is authentic but this particular listing and several others seem to purposely NOT show enough information to report. DO NOT BUY FROM faitteyeche_0.

1. I've never seen blue plastic on hardware
2. Nothing is shown in the pictures (and in fact, seems to have been purposely hidden) that proves authenticity -- tag, creed, paperwork in box
3. There are red flags in this sold listing too: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-grey-top-cowhide-chest-bag-/233768317044?hash=item366dad7074:g:0zcAAOSwXkRfogKq&nma=true&si=%2FVDgPsZ8e6UXDmdgq%2BN2gzX6%2FXg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
4. Private bidding can hide a multitude of sins
5. Although few listings show good pictures, this particular BELT LISTING shows enough of the receipt to tell me that the receipt is fake, description is for "pieced patchwork lunch tote" NOT a belt: https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-brown-double-sided-leather-belt-with-double-buckle-/233730103247?hash=item366b6657cf:g:aw8AAOSwf~tfbUbo&nma=true&si=%2FVDgPsZ8e6UXDmdgq%2BN2gzX6%2FXg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
6. Not all sellers with low/no feedback and history are dishonest, but this 3 year member selling highly faked brands in private auction listings is not one I am comfortable recommending


ETA: BEWARE: This is second ID is the same seller. They have bought from and sold to each other: mosen-18

It looks genuine but I wish there was a better pic of that turnlock area.

I know, me too. Thanks for looking though!

 

[houseof999]

I am very uncomfortable with that bag, that listing and the receipt. The font on the receipt is wrong and the tag as well as the color code on the "receipt" show it's for a black bag.

It's weird because when I googled, the phone number on the receipt came up for a Coach Outlet in Montebello, CA but when I opened the link, it's a person's name to whom that number is registered.
323-725-6792 | Coach Factory Outlet - Montebello, CA

https://www.whitepages.com/phone/1-323-725-6792

Don't know anything about the bag but the receipt is for a mini sierra. The tag may have been from a mini sierra as well. The date on the gift receipt is the end of September at an outlet. This style wasn't released in the outlets.

It's back

Good afternoon! I would really appreciate an opinion on this bag. I realize the photo of the creed is not of the best quality.
As always, thank you for all of your time and help - all of the authenticators are invaluable!

The creed is close to impossible to read. I think the first 3 are C8D. (I did try putting powder on it and it didn't help). Measurements are approx 11"H x 7"across the base x 12"across middle of the flattened bag. Would you also tell me the name of the duffle if you can. Thanks a million!
