Hi! New here and I wanting to authenticate this Coach purse I picked up at my local Goodwill. You all seem so sweet and knowledgeable! Thanks in advance!
  • FOR ITEMS NOT LISTED ONLINE:
    Item: Coach Purse No. 733-4345
    Where purchased or how obtained: My local Goodwill
    Comments: I know a bit about Coach but I certainly am no expert. I know some of the older purses only had serial numbers not identifiable numbers. When I search this number I’m not finding anything. The purse is a very thick, sturdy leather. The inside does not appear to have had any lining.

Welcome to the forum! It's an authentic basic bag made in the late 70s or 80s. The number is unique to this bag so you won't find it in a search. Visit our vintage chat thread and our rehab club for more information about your bag and how to care for it.

 
Can one of you lovely help a friend of mine out.
She got this thrifting but as it doesn't have a serial on the creed and there is no white tag ..she has no idea what it is.
