It's a genuine Soho Bag, style 4082, but was made in the early 1990s. The seller's information about dates and serial numbers isn't correct.

The seller has been discussed at tPF a few times:

Thanks very much, Hyacinth. It’s such a relief that the bag is genuine considering the less than stellar reputation the seller holds in this authentication community. Wow, the info on the bag is quite inaccurate!

This creed looks a little wonky but it’s online pictures so I wasn’t sure.

Interesting! What do all the Ks look like Xs? I'm inclined to believe it is an optical illusion as I don't see any problems with the bag. More opinions are welcome.

It's genuine.

We've seen the same thing a lot with the Ks looking like Xs. If you zoom in you can see the vertical part of the Ks. It looks like the light is hitting them right in the center of the vertical and washing it out. It's usually a combination on angles and lighting, or maybe just the way the stamps were made.

It is authentic. Does it smell like mold? If you like the bag, it can be washed and conditioned, and the mold can be killed before it damages the bag.

Would y'all advise that I keep it, and rehab it, or send it back?. Am I correct in that it was manufactured in 1994? If so, then it would have been made very shortly after the style entered production (1993). I will definitely be filing a complaint regardless of whether I keep it. Any guidance would be most helpful, as I don't know what I'm doing. I have just fallen in love with older Coach and only intend on using them for myself and hopefully my girls in the future. I am not a collector, nor will I be reselling, but I do want them to be authentic and in good enough shape to be used on a regular basis. I don't mind putting in the work to learn the proper way to rehab them if I need to. Please advise.

Not an authenticator, however, I say Keep it! Check out this https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/page-2579 Mountains of info, including step by step instructions from people who know how to rehab.

Hello authenticators, may I ask you to authenticated two bags I have purchased?

Item 1: Slim Satchel
Measurements: 13x9,5x8 inches
How obtained: Thrifted
Comments: I felt sorry for the bag, it was about $10. The inner pocket with the creed was cut out and sewn to the front of the bag. If genuine I will try to fix it. I will need some serious rehab advise too



Item 2: Penny Pocket
Measurements: 9,5x6x2 inches
How obtained: Purchased on Vinted Poland
Comments: This one is making me nervous. The leather is so soft and light it’s either very high quality or very fake.



Thank You!
