Dear authenticators

my inlaw sent me this chunky case but I’ve never seen one without a coach logo on the outside corner. I thought all chunky case have a coach logo outside? This one does not so it’s not authentic, right?

The lack of an exterior logo isn't necessarily a problem since there is a creed inside. I don't recall if I've seen chunky cases without an exterior logo but I've seen skinny cases without one. These are so hard to authenticate without being able to see them in person. I'm not seeing any problems. More opinions are welcome.

It looks good. It could be late 70s or early 80s. I believe they used glued in creeds at least through 1983 but probably not exclusively.

Thank you!

I agree that it's fine.

Although I've seen a few chunky cases without logos, I don't have an example of a leather one. I do have a Berkley example.

Hi! My own research says this is a Vintage Coach 1990s Gramercy Continental Clutch Wallet. Checking in with you guys to see if you concur. I found this today at the thrift store for 4 bucks. This is the crazy thrift store which pokes holes in leather objects in order to attach their price tags. The 3 fresh holes you see there on the interior, I know the store did that. Other than that it seems to be in really good condition. Inside this wallet is "Made in Italy" and both the bulls eye and the x together. (What does that mean? ) Authentico? Please and thank you for your opinion.

It's authentic. I had one and believe it's called Gramercy Continental Clutch and is from the late 90s. I don't know a style number.

Hello there,

Found lurking in my rehab pile, I purchased this from a UK equivalent to a Goodwill store.

I’m hoping she is a genuine 1997 Duffle Sac; she measures a bit wide, definitely saggy over her base, which I hope to rectify through a thorough dunking if authentic.

She measures 14” x 15” (widest point) x 9.5” round base.

plus 36.5” strap.

Please can you find a moment to review and advise.

Many thanks, as always

Zoe

I learn something again today. Thank you so much for your expertise. This is like going to school

Good morning authenticators. I have a couple of questions about this bag. While I’m almost certain is authentic, however, I would also like to know what year it was made.
A side question. Does anyone have any info on having a longer strap made so I can wear this bag crossbody? I was thinking about just buying a different crossbody and change the strap but seems like too much trouble.
Thank you

Vintage 60s/70s Coach NYC Bonnie Cashin Courier Saddle Bag Purse Brown | eBay

Bonnie Cashin. Coach Creed is stamped inside the purse. This bag has been pre-loved and will need to be cleaned and conditioned. I can’t help if I don’t know about the issue though. There are a few wear marks both exterior and interior.

It's authentic. (I assume your "2997" was a typo.) It's from 1997.
