Dear Authenticators,
I have very basic knowledge of Coach creeds but am wondering why the Creed of this supposedly vintage City bag is so different. It has a lot more numerals than usual. Also, is it true that vintage Coach bags, particularly pre-Creed, should have a hangtag that has "Coach Leatherware" stamped, and not just "Coach" alone? Thank you!

The bag is authentic but isn't even close to being vintage, having been made in 2012. It's part of a group of classic styles Coach brought back and assigned new style numbers. The hangtag appears to be original to this bag although we don't generally use hangtags as factors in determining authenticity of the bag they're on. Hang tags can be lost and replaced, sometimes even replaced with fakes.

Hi,
Out thrifting & found this small leather Coach Xbody. Is it authentic?
Didn’t Soho have the striped liner?
Thanks!

Hello—thank you so much! Interior photos of optic wristlet attached.

Both bags are authentic.

First is an optic signature hobo made in 2005. The optic signature wristlet looks okay based on what I see but for a more definitive opinion, I'd like to see the interior.

Second is a signature stripe swingpack made in 2006.

Sohos never had striped linings AFAIK. That's a Sonoma Small Flap Natural Grain, not a Soho. It was made in 1996.
