Hello! I recently bought this vintage Coach Barclay tote at a thrift store and just want to make sure it’s authentic. All I know from the creed is that it’s from 1997. One thing I noticed about the zipper closure is that the zipper doesn’t finish all the way to the end as seen in one of my pictures.
Item: Barclay tote
#: 9096

We need to know if this is being sold on the internet, and if so, the link to the selling page. Or if you have owned it for a while, when and where you bought it. Please always read the READ ME post at the top of each page and include the information we need. It's especially important because I don't think that bag is a genuine Coach.

This one is really bugging me. I found it when cleaning my aunt's closet after she moved to special care. She owned a bunch of coach purses but we think this one is fake (weird number). No idea when it was purchased.

I’m so sorry, I forgot it’s just a thrift store finds if it’s not authentic I will toss it in the trash where fakes belong!

The font used in the serial number is too thick, and especially the "N" in No. It;s very different from the next closest B plant serial number that seems genuine and is also 8 months later. I'd like to see the back of the turnlock plate, the piece that the 4 prongs are clamped to, but it just doesn't fit the other known examples of a bag from that plant and year.

It looks okay. I can't find this exact style in my files.

Thank you whateve. I just found a style 4849 while browsing that looks similar, so could that be what this one is? If so, is it a new(er) or older (vintage) style?

There's nothing wrong with the number, it was made for the Factory Outlets in 2010. I don't know the name but there aren't very good records of Factory Stores items from before their Coach Outlet webpages went public. It's from the Hamptons Signature line but that's all I can offer. I don't see anything that would make me think it's fake.

Thank you! I thought I'd seen it somewhere - 1993 Fall preview catalog, International Coin Case:

There is a style 4849, which is very similar but the picture I have of the inside looks like this:

So it could be the same style number. Maybe they changed the design. I think that extra piece of leather keeps the coins from spilling out.

ETA: I see from Hyacinth's catalog picture that they did make it without the extra piece of leather.
