The bag is genuine, but I hope whoever buys it takes a good close look at the Entrupy "COA". Not only are the details, serial number, etc on the certificate hidden, but the color looks more like black. Please be sure it's for the same bag.
I actually messaged this GW seller and asked for a pic of the serial number (easier than saying creed) and the COA. Their response was that they didn't give out photos of the COA. This was the first time I'd heard this, so I responded with links to GW items where the COA was fully visible. Their response was very interesting: "Each Goodwill is different, "We" do not provide a complete photograph of the COA as they are considered our Intellectual Property. We've have had others use our material to complete sales transaction with out photographs on other websites."

I'm not sure where they got their info but that's not how it works. Regardless, I'm not touching anything from them.

Good morning!
Was hoping to get some help authenticating this bag. I’ve bought from this seller before. I was just curious if the “09966” style number, as I’ve only seen it as “9966”. I am very new to vintage coach.

style: Legacy zip
Location: Etsy/ Feelsfreeboutique

I have included the link for the listing which includes all pictures.
thank you so much for all your help, I really appreciate it! :)

Sorry, I must have missed this one.

Genuine Scout Bag, I'm not sure of the year.
 
I was trying to identify the bag at the link below, is it a Scout Bag like the one @cpenling has posted above? Is it a Spectator Scout Bag?

Thanks! Another question, this bag is listed as a Spectator Roll Bag but I think that's incorrect, it should just be called a Roll Bag, right? I know that Coach once made a Spectator bag that was a solid color, but this isn't it.

Not an authentication but I can tell you that the green is an olive green. It's a beautiful bag. Wait for our authenticators to confirm.
Olive, very cool! I don’t own an olive bag yet (or a Duffle Sac), but I love green so I’m really hoping this is authentic. I’m happy to hear your thoughts, thank you for sharing!
