Hyacinth's guides recommend that any bag with J4D as the prefix be looked at.

I think this is a listing that needs looking at. The lining and stamping look wrong. ;) TIA.

Listing on Bonanza
Title: Vintage Coach Black Leather Hobo Shoulder Purse #9603

I found this listing for a style 9603 but it's made in 2002 and has signature lining. (This one is authentic.)

Completely fake, the Milbrook Zoe Hobo wasn't even introduced until 2002.

Here's the creed in question, followed by a creeds from other bags (different styles) made in same month/year/plant.

This looks just like the one above but with different text. (I think the text is correct for the bag it's on):

Sorry. I was sort of in a hurry and should have posted links to the listings along with the creeds. I thought they looked good so didn't include the links.

I've been looking at this seller's items. She has a lot of keychains I've never seen.

She posted the creed in the Hall of Shame. The creed is F8J-6366, made in China. Based on the creed, I said it was fake. Coach didn't make signature bags in 1998 and they didn't use the J designation for China at the time.

It's not a Coach so I have no idea. It does look like a Bonnie Cashin design. I don't know why there is an Elizabeth Arden tag in there. As far as I know, Elizabeth Arden only did makeup.

Thanks for taking a look.
I thought the attached coin purse was a Bonnie Cashin touch. I found from searching around that Elizabeth Arden did ( and might still) make handbags. The little metal signature tag and the similar design to Coach caught my attention.

You're welcome. It is definitely a Bonnie Cashin design.
