It seems to be a genuine remake of the vintage Large Cabin Bag style. The measurements are different though, the seller gives the length as 22 inches but the original vintage version was 25x13x10 1/2 inches according to the 1990s catalogs, which of course made it impossible to meet most airlines' size restrictions. Maybe they downsized it to fit? But I'm surprised they didn't just give it the correct style number for one of the smaller versions. Still, the most consistent thing about Coach is their inconsistency.

Anyway, it seems genuine but I don't have any information on newer travel items, so more opinions are welcome.

Thanks, Hyacinth. I really appreciate it! I was a bit nervous because this particular seller has been mentioned in both the fake and authentic forums.

Any idea what the difference is between the 503 and 502? They look very similar to me.

Comments: I think it’s just really old! But not sure. The creed letters are all unbalanced and the code is crooked. I so want to condition this bag so I hope for real!

I think it's okay also but I too was going to mention the seller's history.

Be sure to get listings from raxeitup66 verified.

Thanks, BeenBurned! Today is my lucky day to get input from both you and Hyacinth. It was your original post about raxeitup66 in the Hall of Shame thread (that I found via a google search) that brought me to this forum.

I appreciate the work you both do for everyone on here!

The ONLY difference is the measurements, at least on the ones made in the 1990s. I don't have any information at all on the Chinese remakes apparently from 2013.

Here's a catalog page from 1993 showing a photo of the style 502 Medium Cabin Bag along with the measurements of the Small and the Large. There's no difference at all shown between the 3 different sizes EXCEPT for measurements.
