It's authentic, made around 1993. Remember to provide measurements if you want an ID. It is probably a Quincey bag 9919.

Awesome, thank you!! It does seem to be a Quincey. Had no idea.

Hello again! In addition to the above items here is another one which I hope the experts can authenticate.

This is from the same seller stated in my previous request.

Item: Coach Willis
Seller: jojoy31
Link: https://carousell.app.link/EeH9YVbyTgb

Also what do you think the color is? I’m thinking either bone or taupe.

Thank you so much for your help.

Genuine, made in late 1998 as a 1999 item. The color looks like Camel with nickel hardware.

Hello! I would like to seek again the help of our authenticators here. Please help me confirm the authenticity of the following coach bags:

Seller: @joyjoy31
Selling Platform: Carousell

1. Vintage Coach Willis (I6U-9927)
Link: Cool find: Vintage Coach for PHP 3,500 https://carousell.app.link/JWPlI9UKSgb

2. Vintage Coach Lula (L7I-9952)

Thank you so much.

JUST AN "FYI" FOR ANYONE WITH AUTHENTICATION REQUESTS FOR CAROUSELL LISTINGS - My very old browsers refuse to open photos in Carousell pages, so I can't help with them, unless someone wants to post the actual photos ESPECIALLY clear readable pics of the creeds and serial numbers. Just the front, back and creed photos should be all that need to be copied and posted in the beginning, I can always ask if I need more. Let's hope BB or Whateve can help before that becomes necessary.

We've seen many fakes listed on that site, especially newer styles. Avoid it if possible, but always have any Carousell items authenticated.

For starters, the seller has some of his/her "facts" wrong.

The style number was ALWAYS 4095. Coach assigned numbers before the item went into production. It would have been foolish to do it any other way.

Serial number 0160-015 would have been made in the early 1990s, not the 1980s. (That's what happens when sellers use inaccurate or Never-correct-in-the-first-place "guides" and then have to scramble the facts to make them fit the "guides". See my Signature in all my posts).

Both Town Bags, 4090 and 4095, are shown as NEW in the 1989 Spring Preview catalog.

Since that particular example was made in the early 1990s, there's no proof that it was made in the New York plant. Coach added at least one more plant in 1988 when the Made in NYC creeds were changed to Made in the United States and Made in U.S.A - that's WHY the creed stamps' "Made In ..." lines had to be changed. By the early 1990s when that bag was made there were at least 2 and possibly 3 plants operating in the United States and one of its territories, Puerto Rico, and at least 4 by the end of 1994, since there were 4 "Made in the United States" plant codes by then. (Coach had also opened a plant in Italy in the early 1990s). That was the year when the plant codes began to be added to the serial numbers. All we know for sure about them was that Miami might have been one of them, probably B or C. New York City of course was A.

So - genuine, early 1990s, place and exact year unknown but between 1990 and 1993 and in the continental US or one of its territories, style 4095, and be ready for the possibility that it's not the exact same color Blue shown in the photos. Blues sometimes don't photograph well. That particular shade of Teal Blue shown in the photos I'm seeing isn't in any early 1990s catalog for the Lightweight line.

Is that enough information?

Dang, Hyacinth, you are on fire! Thanks for the info and the confirmation.

All three are genuine. But style 9965 is NOT a Trail Bag, it's a Legacy Small Flap. The Trail Bag is style 9955:

Thank you, @Hyacinth! Sorry, i’m not sure why I called it a trail bag, must have been because I have been looking for one ever since! Thank you so much!

Wow...great! Thank you very much, Hyacinth, for your quick response and detailed information. I am truly appreciative! May you have a very blessed evening and week ahead!

Welcome! It's an authentic Willis bag made in 1994. Visit our rehab club for suggestions on how to fix it up. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

Thank you! I read online that the L4L stands for December (L= 12th letter/12th month), 1994, and that final L is the country of manufacture. That site said that D was the letter for the US. Since the creed says it was made in the US, do you know what that second L stands for?
