This bag was recently purchased on eBay and we found this site after. It’s the Willis bag (9927) but I’m questioning the creed, I’ve never seen one with a letter follows by two numbers (usually:letter, number,letter).
Thank you.

The bag itself is a genuine Willis made in 1998, but that doesn't seem to be the original hangtag, it looks gray and not black. The strap is also a less-expensive non-Coach replacement, and there doesn't seem to be any way of adjusting the length.

Please post the link to the Ebay listing. We also require the seller's name or site ID, as listed in the READ ME post at the top of each page. The seller should have disclosed the poorer-quality replacement strap and it affects the value of the bag.

Hello!

I found this bag at the thrift store today. Feels like a real Coach but some other stuff made me question it. I'm rather new to the vintage Coach obsession, any help would be much appreciated!

Sorry, it's FAKE. "J8H-" is never a valid Coach serial number prefix. There are other problems as well.
Take it back and insist on a full refund or credit, selling counterfeits in the US is a felony.
