Hello! I haven't seen this vintage style before. It's beautiful! My google image search seems to indicate it's a "Chelsea" bag, #9894. Please and thank you for taking a look see. ETA. Seller says black, but to me, it looks kind of green. Does it look green to anyone else?

It's a genuine Chelsea Bag 9894 made in the early 1990s.

If a vintage Coach looks more like black than any other color, it's probably black. Black can have navy or green undertones as it ages.

Here's a Coach catalog page from 1991:

I picked up this bag a while ago at Goodwill and forgot all about it until I doing some cleaning and organizing today. I would love confirmation that it is authentic because if it is, I’m chomping at the bit to get working on it!

This one also bought at a thrift store weeks ago and then found its way into the black hole in my office. Please let me know if it’s authentic. I’m a bit intimidated by this one to rehab.

Hi, I found this City bag listed on a local Facebook page. No other details have been provided by the seller apart from these photos. I would greatly appreciate it if someone here could tell me if it’s authentic or not TIA!

Hi, y'all. I am hoping for some help with this bag. I ordered it solely for the strap as a replacement for one on a Dakota Collection bag (although this is a Sheridan--close enough). I was not necessarily concerned about it's authenticity. Now that I have it though, I am very curious as to it's authenticity because I've never seen some of the features this bag has, particularly the zipper pull and buckle.
