It's from the Tartan line and was probably made for the Factory Stores but I don't know the style name.

Thank you! I hope this isn't a silly question, but was there any particular time period that Tartan pieces were exclusively produced? I'm curious because I think this little bag goes nicely with my Poppy Tartan sequin wristlet, and I'm wondering if they may have been produce roughly around the same time. Thanks again!

They were made at various times between 2009 and 2011, at least those are the production dates of the ones I've bought.
 
Hi, guys! I'm up way too early for a Saturday! Is this genuine?
Desc. Vintage Coach Saddle Bag
seller: dutchirish
item no. 221784176198
link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221784176198


Comment: I think it's fake but don't think the seller is trying to pull a fast one based on the other items she sells. Although she's got a few good Coach bags up for auction.

If that serial number starts with S8B- like it seems to, it's definitely fake.

It is S8B and seems to be a fairly popular prefix for fakes. I haven't looked on the "fakes" list but if not, it may be a contender!

Here are a few more with the identical serial:

And a bag with the same serial number was deemed fake in 2012:

Hi, could you please authenticate this one? The seller wasn't sure if it was authentic or not but I love the shape and it was less than $16 including shipping. The leather is really soft and squooshy like some of the Legacy Rambler bags I have. I'm going to use it either way but I'd like to know. Thank you!
