Comments: Hello may I have your opinions on this Sonoma shoulder bag? I thought the month code in Coach bags' serial number ranges from A to M without I. But this one started with N really confused me. Thank you for your time!

Comments: Hello! Interested in a Dinky Kisslock and this is the first one I've seen in a while. Thank you! :smile:
It's authentic. It wasn't called a dinky kisslock. It had the boring name of shoulder purse. The style number is 9385. it was probably made mid 80s, not 70s.

It's authentic. It's a mistake we've seen made by the Italy plant before.

Comments: The style caught my eye, but I am not sure what it is called.


It's genuine. The style was called a Compartment Bag. There were 2 different sizes but I don't see any measurements in that listing so it's hard to be sure which one it is. Here's a Coach Catalog page from the Summer Preview 1989 book showing both of them.

The one in the listing was made in the early 1990s.

ETA - Just saw your new post giving the measurements, so even though there's a bit of overlap, my guess is that this is the Small version.

I believe it is probably the large version. The large has a thicker strap.
 
Just a quick detour - it's a VERY bad weather night along the US Gulf Coast. Much of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana got hammered by storms and tornadoes and some of those storm systems are still active and moving east.

We hope everyone here is safe and stays safe!
We are having that weather on the east coast of the North Island here in New Zealand....we have a state of emergancy here. A bridge up the Coast has gone.

Seems to be that weather all around the world at the moment.

Echoing...hope everyone is safe.
 
Hi, I would love help in determining if this leather jacket is authentic Coach. It looks to me like it is, but I would like more experienced eyes to look at it. This jacket came from my mother-in-law’s home which we are clearing out after she passed away. My mother-in-law was a great lover of Coach products and bought all of her daughter-in-laws and granddaughters multiple Coach purses. She purchased most of them through a Coach store, Coach online, or through the factory store near her home. However, I know towards the end of her life she made numerous eBay purchases of various things, so that is why I would like to make sure this is authentic. I hope to either pass this on to a grandchild, or if they aren’t interested, to sell it.
The item is a leather jacket, size Large, that looks like it was seldom worn. The Coach label is in the neck of the jacket and the buttons all have Coach on them. A tag sewn inside the seam of the jacket lists what the jacket is made of and the back of the tag lists cleaning instructions. The jacket was stored for over 8 years in a closet without being used.
I haven’t been able to find this style online. Could you tell me if it is a man’s or woman’s style.
Thanks for any information97037F2C-7DDF-4C28-ADB1-45B51CD2B870.jpeg5B3A30F5-52F2-4379-B13B-7AF2804655FD.jpeg12CD39BE-7FCD-4EF8-871B-84565703EBD0.jpeg291E29DE-81E9-40BD-861E-01B796D87522.jpeg4623226F-52AC-483B-B9FF-C66BAE8154AB.jpegD81B6D5E-3705-4868-982D-FD4D3774D373.jpeg291E29DE-81E9-40BD-861E-01B796D87522.jpeg4623226F-52AC-483B-B9FF-C66BAE8154AB.jpeg35F4040F-EFBA-4159-93DE-0943E43D92B2.jpeg3BD7EDEC-B281-474A-A6C3-E48D1647A5B5.jpegB06D1ED0-BCA1-495B-9877-E3240D66AA35.jpegF07A7AF3-2847-452B-B8FF-B944085202E3.jpeg you can give.
