Genuine, probably from the early to mid-1980s. Please note the seller's comments about pen marks.

It's authentic.

Thank you kindly

Good evening! Could someone please authenticate this bag I just purchased? I recently told myself ”no more brown purses” but when I saw this bag, I couldn’t resist as I have had my eye out for a hasp bag... Thank you very much in advance!

item: hasp bag?

Hi Authenticators,
Could you please authenticate this coach bag?
Item: Coach Crossbody British Tan Vintage Purse
Where purchased or how obtained: Poshmark
Measurements: Approximately: 5 3/4" (W) x 7 1/2" (H) x 2 1/2" (D) 21" strap drop
Comments: I got this item from seller nschewe on Poshmark. But I found that the seller was using the same photos of another item she sold in the list. The word "GLOVE TANNED" on the creed seems missing the dash line. Hope it's all good. Thank you in advance!

Hi Authenticators,
Could you please authenticate this coach bag?
Item: Coach Crossbody British Tan Vintage Purse
Where purchased or how obtained: Poshmark

None of the creeds I've found from bags made in that "B" plant in 1994 have dashes between those words. I'm not sure what you're comparing yours to or why. If the photos you posted were taken by you personally and are all from the bag you bought, it's genuine.

I'm seeing two Sold listings for what apparently is the same bag but with 2 different selling prices, but the photos don't seem to be the same bag as the photos you posted.

It's really not clear what concerns you about another listing from the same seller since you didn't provide any details or photos. We need to remind you and everyone else that things like creed and serial number details can ONLY be compared between items with serial numbers showing that they were made in the same plant and year for the same style.

PLEASE be sure to include LINKS to any listings you're asking about or referring to.

Seller nschewe

I think this is the listing in question: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-Crossbody-British-Tan-Vintage-Purse-6025e3dbefd0e4bfebb8cdd9
and this is the same bag I believe:

Coach Crossbody British Tan Vintage Purse

Shop nschewe's closet or find the perfect look from millions of stylists. Fast shipping and buyer protection. In wonderful condition- no flaws to disclose. I have to sell some of my purses to help (we are working class, I just love restoring purses as a hobby) pay for expenses as my husband was...

poshmark.com

I question which pictures in which listings are the seller's own pictures of the actual items. She has different pictures, backgrounds and photographing styles in her listings.

Hey, @Hyacinth - Didja happen to see these other items from nschewe? (There are also several other of the same sets that were sold.)

How can I tell if this is an authentic Coach pursue, I just received it.

 

[ThriftyNavyMom]

Hi, I am new to coach and trying to learn how to authenticate before buying.
Can someone help me with this bag? I see the serial number but not sure how to authenticate it.
Google directed me here :=) Is there a way to put in serial number to validate? I have 3 others that I purchased at a yard sale and wanted to check too Thanks in advance for any help with this Newbie.
