I have seen those listed before. I don't know if they were used in stores or given away as promotional items. I don't see anything wrong with them.

Interesting beanbags & seller listing story. Thank you.

Dear authenticators,
Please take a look. I was thrilled to find one of my unicorn bags- then I noticed the handle rings seem like they were just brass plated? Which made me a little nervous...I've seen that on inside zippers but not on outer visible parts. I've added a couple more photos.

Coach was already phasing out solid brass hardware and replacing it with brass-plated in the 1980s. The myth that Coach always used solid brass is exactly that, a myth. Be careful of believing any "rules" about Coach that you find on the internet, most of them are just plain wrong.

It's a genuine Station Bag 5130 made in the mid-1980s.

Thank you so much for your fast reply - that's so appreciated

Just out of curiosity... why does the creed say 8422, when its a 9525 model. That threw me off a bit when I received it, because I also had bought it thinking it was the 9525.

Coach's many changes in format for serial numbers and creeds are all explained in the six Salearea Guides posted in the index pinned to the top of every Coach Shopping forum page, I recommend reading them at least once, especially the ones on those subjects.

Coach only began using actual style numbers as part of the serial number in 1994. Start here:

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...
