Does anyone know if the New Coach studded circle calf
hobo have Serial numbers? Because mine does not. It just has Creed patch in leather and it says made in China. I bought it from a Coach store not factory outlet.
Appreciate any info.
 
Hi,
Can someone please help me.. I have next to no idea about handbags but have just been given a Coach one (hasn't been used but a couple of tiny blemishes from storage) wondering how to check it is actually genuine, and if it is worth anything? I'm in the UK and struggling to find much information about it!
From what I can see searching this thread, I think it is a Soho Leather Pocket Tote (8a09) but can someone please verify if it is actually genuine for me?

I've taken photos of the bits I assume verify it. Plus it also has YKK on the inside zipper.

Coach discontinued stamped serial numbers last year. The only way now to find the style number and date codes now other than on the price tag is to look for a very small white tag that's usually sewn deep inside the inside pocket.

It may not be the DUMBEST thing Coach has ever done, but it's certainly in the Top Three. :pout:
 
I can't work out how to reply with a quote! but thanks for the reply to say it is genuine!
Is my information correct about it being a Soho Tote bag? Also, I saw somewhere you can tell how old the bags are from some of the serial numbers - is that possible with the serial number on mine?
Thanks again!
 
I did not want to bust your bubble when you posted it. These wallets are notorious for getting dirty and also for the metallic leather rubbing off.

I had a feeling that the wallet was not going to be in too good of shape. And I think it is hard to photo the issues.

A good seller would have detailed the issues in the text box.
Thanks, I've made my decision and I am rehabbing it and it is coming out well; but I agree that the auction posting was not truthful. And I suspect it was deliberate rather than just poor photographic skills. I took my pics with my ipad and you can easily see the wear to the leather - even though all of the problems are not clearly visible, and the issues should have been detailed in the description instead of "very good condition".

I would be happier about the rehab if I had known that I was buying a "fixer upper" from the start! (Although I probably wouldn't have bought it or at least not at that price!)

Hey You!!! Long time, huh? Good luck with your fixer-upper...no doubt you'll do well. I've had success with metallic Sharpies, if you need extreme measures :)
 
Could someone please authenticate this Coach bag?
Took a road trip to 2 GW's and a Bargain Barn about 45 minutes north of my usual haunts yesterday...this one was $1 at Bargain Barn.
Approx. 14.5"w at top x 11"h x 2.5"d. Strap 9.5" to buckles.
2005 Soho Hobo probably Large #8A03?
Thanks in advance!

The daisy keychain looks good and I believe is style 1603. I believe the leather daisy and hangtag were taken from one of several soho and other style bags that included the charms. (Some styles were 4428, 4432, 4434, 4435, 4436, 4437, 4438)

Thanks BeenBurned...you made my day!
And what a cute new puppy pic :)
