I've taken pictures of it with a tape measure. She's a little darkened now as I've decided to clean and condition the leather. Thank you for your response.View attachment 5082033View attachment 5082034View attachment 5082035


Beautiful! And it's a genuine Stewardess. Your Hubby has a very good eye for quality. :tup:

The change in angles can make a big difference in how a bag appears to people in photos. And that one is a classic probably from the mid-1980s. Lucky lady!

Here's Coach's page from their 1986 Summer catalog:
9525_Stewardess-1986 Summer-a.jpg

and here's how it got its name - from a United Airlines ad showing their cabin crew uniforms from the early to middle 1980s:

Hi Authenticators,
I think I finally found a decent bag at my local Goodwill so I'm excited to see if it's authentic. I never owned a bag from Costa Rica but it feels nice and I've heard good things about them here. I'm hoping it's ok. Your input is appreciated. Thank you!!

Item: Coach 9965
Local Goodwill store
Measurements: 8" x 8" x 4"


It's a genuine Legacy Small Flap from 1998

Hello again:
I'd appreciate it again if you could give your opinion on this bag. I bought it without first authenticating which I shouldn't have done. So I'm hoping it wasn't a bad purchase. Thank you!

Item: Vintage Crossbody Green Bag
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m41009185330/
Seller: Closetoverflow


You got a genuine one, and we don't see many of that style so it took a while to find it. It's a genuine Slim Zip Bag, style 4018, from the Lightweight line and made in the early 1990s. Here's Coach's pic from the 1991 Holiday catalog, click on the thumbnail to enlarge:

Hello

Can you please authenticate this bag for me. Purchased from Poshmark as the small compartment bag 9845, made in NYC in the 80s. Measurements are supposed to be 8 1/4 x 5 x 2 1/4 but I measure 8 in length, other measurements as the same.

Thank you!

It's genuine. A quarter-inch in measurement is nothing to be concerned about, Coach's official measurements are often different from owners'.
 
Hello authenticators,

I have some findings through instagram but gonna buy it via our local marketplace. Would you please authenticate these for me?

(1) Coach Whitney 4115



(2) Coach 9071 (but i am still confuse whether to buy it or not because of the defect in its strap, is it worth to buy with around with $17? :oh:)



Thank you so much for your help!
