Thank you for posting the photos!

It's fake. While genuine Coaches can (rarely) have incorrect style numbers, this one actually has a fake font NEVER used by the C plant. The date code is also for a full year before the Taft was even introduced.

Here's a correct J4C- font:

Good Morning - Please help to authenticate the bag below. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

That's what it looks like to me too. Here's the catalog photo. The bag is probably genuine but the serial number still looks strange. Maybe it's the twisting.

Thank you so much! It's a rare bag, apparently!

Oh, one other one:
Item: Vintage Coach City Bag brown leather Cross body city bag . style #9790 adjustable Shoulder strap
Listing number: 1305682763
Seller and site where listed: SamiranaTreasures, etsy.com
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1305682763/vintage-coach-city-bag-brown-leather
Comments: creed A6M-9790, made in United States. Yes, I saw her reputation, and the soft-focus "boudoir-like" photos make me a little sus. Also, not sure of the color, the inside looks more like tan, than the darker ones I've seen.

Thanks again!

Hi there!

I’m interested in purchasing this Devon bag off Poshmark. I just wanted to make sure it’s legit first.I was wondering if the creed wording looks right? Is there anything else I’m missing? Thanks!

 

[Hannahs12]

Genuine and made in the late 1980s.

Thank you!

Please remember to include the seller's name with all requests involving an online listing. There are a surprising number or sellers on Posh and also on other sites who not only list fakes on a regular basis, but some are known for other extremely unethical practices as well.

The bag seems to be genuine, from the early 1990s.

The bag seems genuine.

There apparently was no such style as a Penny in what we've seen of Coach's actual records.

We need photos of the back and the panels under the flap showing the pockets to identify, and we especially need measurements. Please see the list of required photos at the top of each page.

And also this one. Same place
Many thanks

Both seem to be genuine.

I don't speculate on color, sorry
