It's E1E-8166. It's a shame her creed photos aren't better.

The 2001 exotics weren't quite as detailed as the 1999 styles. It looks like most of them just had regular leather zipper pulls and stamped leather creed patches although a few still had the metal plaques. Most if not all were still made in Italy. We talked about an 8190 mis-marked as a 6153 in one of these threads a few months ago.

plus an 8389 Alligator Clutch, an 8924 Alligator Demi, and probably my last remaining Holy Grail bag that I've only seen once and probably could never afford it even if I found one, I'm not even going to name it, I'd just jinx myself. The strap would probably be too short anyway. :biggrin:

Thank you for your sharing! These exotics bag are amazing and so rare!
By the way I see a NWT Python clutch sell by busykittyfinds on Poshmark, that is a NO. 6154, very similar to the 6153 clutch.

These kind of clutch looks elegant, However, they are not quite practical, sometimes they can't even fit a phone. I had a Madison tuxedo clutch bag and only used it once. it looks big enough to fit in a phone but due to the shape of the kiss lock, it would be better to just hold small pieces like keys. ;) My Holy Grail coach bag is the small winnie! However the price is incredibly as high as 600!

Exactly! I just can't figure out why Coach keeps making those teeny-tiny bags that can't even fit a phone. The only thing I can think of is that their design staff is all male and they carry their phones in their pockets and think we should too.

And then halfway through a date or an evening out, they reach into their pockets, pull out a (fill in the blank) and ask sweetly "Do you have room in your purse for this?". Sheeesh!
 
Very cool, thank you! I have a very old Stewardess I inherited over a decade ago from a beloved aunt that use frequently and love. I really like this shape so it will be fun to try something a bit smaller this summer. :smile:

What's so nice about both those bags is that they're deep, front to back. They give you more room inside than you'd expect.

The Scarf Print Bag is good, from 2010.

I'm not familiar at all with the other one. Please wait for more opinions.
 
Hi I saw this posted on Facebook marketplace and before I offer anything wanted to see of its authentic. Serial reads A7U-9927. Thanks

For the second, I think there should be a white label hidden inside with 2 rows of numbers/letters.
 
I was just researching that same one and though I didn't find much currently online, I found 2 1995 C plant creeds in my records, one from the same month as in question. (They're different style bags.)

I think the bag from sydhawth417 on Poshmark is fake.

A bit late, but I agree. I think it is fake. I certainly wouldn't risk buying it,
