Thanks in advance and also thank you for the last authentications you provided, I forgot to acknowledge your professional assistance!
All four look good.
 
Hi everyone! It's been awhile! :smile1:
I think this is a duffle sac. It has a talon zipper, the buckle is different than other bags I've seen, and it looks like a piece of berkley suede was used on the creed pocket. (The rest of the bag is smooth leather.) I used the eyeshadow trick to make it readable and it reads fine. The serial number is: 331-3705. The dimensions are: 9'' x 13'' x 9'', 15.5'' at the top.
Any idea on the year or timeframe for this one?
TIA :smile1:
What do you mean about the buckle being different?
I think it's ok but please wait for Whateve to take a look.

We've seen other vintage bags with what almost looks like a pebbled leather creed and they have been ok.
I think it is okay too. Sometimes they used up inferior leather on the pockets. It is probably from the early 80s.
 
Wow!! Great info....
Interestingly SALEAREA is who I purchased it from.....:)
*Hope that is appropriate*
Look for more from me.
I tend to overdo what ever I decide to do.
Yes, its a sickness.

Value all of the information greatly.

You picked an excellent seller! :D

Not only are they very careful about their items' authenticity, but they include dozens of photos showing every inch of their products including the creeds and serial numbers, which are so important for authentication. (I'm NOT Salearea, but I enjoyed helping out with the Guides, and hope they've been a big help to a lot of buyers). Remember, if you find them useful, there's a "thumbs up" link at the top of each one where you can let Ebay know,
 
Could you authenticate this bag? Thanks!

It's authentic. You don't see them that frequently!

You might want to take the seller's feedback into account.

Although there's aren't any accusations that she has sold fakes, there are several comments in feedback as well as responses to those feedbacks that imply that customer service skills are lacking. ;)

Additionally, I'm not comfortable with the koi fish charm she sold.

thanks for your feedback. . . i looked at her nasty response to bad feedback. seller probably should have taken a deep breath and counted to 10! will think about this one.
 
What do you mean about the buckle being different?

I think it is okay too. Sometimes they used up inferior leather on the pockets. It is probably from the early 80s.
Woo hoo! Thanks, Whateve :smile1: Usually I see buckles with the middle cross piece attached to the back so there's kind of a notch on it. This one is just completely flat.
 
Isn't it pretty? The trim is more of a burgundy color. I hope to get it all cleaned up in the next week so I can start using it. It has gorgeous thick leather.
I just found one on eBay. They accepted my offer immediately so I probably overpaid! I hope this one looks as good as yours. Thanks for helping me break the 3 figure number of Coach purses! :D
