So I’ve already posted this bag for some authentication tips and BeenBurned has kindly already helped me with the authentication side of things.

Now I want to see if I can get it listed on eBay. Would anybody be willing to help narrow down this bag style?

From the research I’ve done, I think this bag is either a Coach West Pack or a Coach Graham Pack. Plus it has the varsity stripes. The last photo is the best comparison I’ve found via Coach Outlet.

If anybody else can give me any other details about the bag too that would be much appreciated but just looking to narrow done this bag style at the very least.

If I’m in the wrong thread for this, sorry. I just looked at the other ones and thought this was the best place to ask.

Thanks.

@BeenBurned has already done her research and said there aren't enough solid details to authenticate it. Her opinion here is highly valued, and I'm not going to spend time trying to identify something that can't be positively authenticated, especially since I don't have reference files on newer styles. Unless that situation changes, please do not imply here or anywhere else including any selling site that anyone associated with ThePurseForum has authenticated it.

The seller's photographic skills STINK, frankly. And the photos aren't even in order.

The suede Cosmetic case is probably a genuine Berkeley

I can't authenticate the C pattern bag with just 2 photos, the outside looks OK but that's NOT an authentication.

The beige bag is genuine, early 1990s

Your comment made me LOL :lol: I couldn't agree with you more about the photos.
If the Berkeley is indeed genuine, it would be my very first suede vintage Coach piece. Would be an interesting rehab for sure!
Beige bag... it is a pocket purse right?

Thanks as always, @Hyacinth :smile:

Yes, it looks like a 9755 Pocket Purse. As for the color, There are almost no color charts in the 1990 thru 1993 scanned catalogs so I really can't help pin it down, sorry. I've seen both White and Bone on bags from that period but there's no way to pin down a month or even a year.

Thank you so much. Already moved into it as it fits my phone nicely. The chain that it did comes with is not marked Coach and is not dog leash style. But the chain is going to be used for another bag so it's all good.
