Comments: I have purchased this.
** I’m not quite sure what the”abrasive “ looking marks are… but I had purchased this thinking I would “ dunk “ it and rehab it. It would be my first rehab project
Thank you! I have attached extra pictures

It's genuine and made in 2009. The metallic coating on the leather trim on those Poppy styles was notorious for wearing off quickly. There were quite a few posts here at tPF complaining about peeling and flaking at the time. I don't have an exact name for it, just one of many Poppy Tote styles.

Hi, Hyacinth. Thank you so much for responding back and giving your input. I am overjoyed to find out it is authentic! I'm sure glad I didn't get rid of it. Maybe I will sell it online now that I know it's authentic. I have no use for it currently, as I have multiple other purses.

Hi all, I am interested in both of these beauties so I would love to know if they are real/ style ID on the first one. Thank you!

Sorry we missed this one somehow.

!- Genuine, but I don't know the name. I'd guess that it was made in the very late 1970s or early 1980s.

Dear authenticators,

May you please look at this bag.

Item: Coach city bag
Seller/ Site: iampjr/Ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165328651698
Comments: In the close up pics, it looks like a deep red, maybe Bordeaux?Since it looks like it is from before 1994.
thank you in advance.

That's because it's not a Lewiston, it's a Camera Bag Small, style 4011 from the Lightweight line, genuine and introduced in 1990. The Lewiston has only one outside pocket.

I don't have a catalog pic I can post of the Small, but here's the standard size 4012. The details except for the measurements are the same. My paper catalog lists the Small as 9 1/4 x 7 x 2 3/4 inches. Click on the thumbnail to enlarge.

Genuine, and made between 1990 and 1994. Coach didn't start using the color name Bordeaux until some time in 1993. If it was made before then, it would have been Burgundy, which in the (often inaccurate) color swatches in the catalogs looks a bit darker than Bordeaux.

Hello!
Can someone please authenticate a purse I have? It was given to me by my sister-in-law. I believe it was purchased from a thrift store or from Ebay possibly. The serial number is: GO967-14370. As you can see in the photos, there is quite a bit of fading on the straps and a little on the outside patch. The purse is also flimsy, which is another reason that makes me question its authenticity.

I remember wanting this purse! I had a similar bag with the same silver straps. I used a metallic paint pen on them. It came out great.

 

[whateve]

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
Purchased on eBay

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.

www.ebay.com

Some people have found alternate straps, both new and vintage. Ask in this thread: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/vintage-coach-photos-chat.857690/
There is a file of strap lengths. I can't remember how to find it.
