Send the buyer a link to this "Authenticate this Coach" thread. You're welcome to also link to my authentication and the style number.

Personally, I'd block that buyer! Please PM the ID so I can block.

Thank you!

It's probably okay though I'd like to see a picture of the made in tab (both sides).

I take issue with the seller's description of, "Only carried once for half an hour so new without tags." It was USED and is NOT new!

And even ebay's description of NWOT in the item specifics refers to "unused."

"Item specifics
Condition:
New without tags: A brand-new, unused and unworn item that is not in its original retail packaging or may be missing its original retail packaging materials (such as the original box or bag). The original tags may not be attached. For example, new shoes (with absolutely no signs of wear) that are no longer in their original box fall into this category. See all condition definitions

Nubuck or nubuc is by definition a type of leather with a brushed or sanded nap that resembles suede. "Smooth nubuck" is a contradiction. As Whateve has already said, they probably just used the wrong stamp, or it was all they had available. The creed and serial stamping was definitely done by Coach.

Thanks to both you and Whateve for this info!

Thank you so much for this, here’s some photos of the inside tag although the first one is a little blurry annoyingly, apparently she’s taking them on a phone, so let me know if they’re not good enough to. E able to see what you’re looking for and I’ll ask her to retake. And yes totally agree about the ‘unused’ terminology, it’s like saying some food you’ve ordered is ‘untouched’ although actually you had a spoonful to taste ha!

Item: clutch or portfolio?
Seller: Goodwill

I’m hoping I can get some info on this piece like name and age. And if it’s complete other than the hangtag, which is missing. TIA!!!

It's genuine and made some time between about 1980 and 1988, but so far I haven't been able to find any records. If it was in one of the old catalogs, it's one that I don't have. Measurements would help, note that they are one of the details we require in the "READ ME" post at the top of each page..

The hole and grommet in one corner may have been for a wrist strap rather than a hangtag, if there's only one hole, which would seem to indicate a Clutch. If there's one on each side then it could have been for a shoulder strap. A Portfolio would be larger, but again, without measurements there's no way to tell which it might be. From the tab and buckle pieces I'd guess that it was related to the style 9585 Saddle Pouch from the same time period.

More opinions are welcome.

I am so sorry for not including the measurements!!! It is 13” long and 8.5” wide. It’s about 1.25” thick.
There is only one grommet. It’s on the left end if you’re looking at the front.
There are some bank receipts from 1985 in it but I know that doesn’t really mean much.
Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you so much for your help!!!

Hi Authenticators,
May I please ask this bag to be authenticated? Thank you very much in advance for your time!

Item: Paris bag
Where obtained: consignment store
Comments: Creed is stamped on a light weight leather that has texture so it's hard to read but the numbers are '042-3911'.

It looks good, from the Lightweight line.

I still haven't been able to find it and I've looked through all my photo files from that time period. It's more likely to be a Portfolio than a Clutch.

Maybe @whateve has seen it or had one in her collection.
