It's fine, made in 1994.
 
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays! I bought this bag online and it’s now in my possession. This was not posted as a Coach bag. It came up as I was doing a visual search for a saddlery bag. I bought it because it was cheap and a hot mess. I thought it would be a good challenge for honing my rehab skills. The bag seems to be vintage and of good, comparable quality to Coach. I was wondering if anyone had any thought as to the possible maker of this bag. Thank you!

As you know, not an authenticator here. But, I'll share my 2-cents, anyway. Nice bag! The inner zipper pull hardware looks identical to Coach. And I think I notice a ball chain in one picture. Does it have a hangtag? Hardware can be replaced--that may or may not be the original hardware. However, the "no creed" thing... If it is a lookalike, it might be based on this Coach bag style: https://www.etsy.com/listing/132785...how_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details

I don't believe the bag is Coach, nor is it pretending to be. It looks like a legitimate similar style to that shown by @ConnieinSeattle .

If the last picture shows any brand stamping, I can't read it.
 
Please make a copy of the seller's original photo of the creed stamp and serial number and add the copy to this post using the REPLY button. Thank you.
Thanks for responding! I’ve attached a picture of the creed, along with some other photos of the bag.

Edit: I’m not sure if I posted my response in the right place. I’m newish to this site! This is the bag being sold by @yogi1229 on Poshmark. https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-Pocket-Purse-Crossbody-9755-Navy-63a8eebcb635f82f0e4a1d80

Hello everyone, hoping you're all doing well! wanted to get your opinion on this bag I've been eyeing. I've been hoping to get a teal vintage Coach bag, and one recently popped up.

Item: Vintage Coach 4133 Waverly Bag Soho Series Ocean Blue Leather Small Satchel
Listing number: 144861115158
Seller and site where listed: emmiegrant on Ebay; also listed on Poshmark by emmiegrant
Link: Here!
Comments: The manufacturing date lines up with the second run of the Ocean Waverly in 1996, as evidenced by the 1996 spring edition catalog here... but the kerning on the stamp looks off (lots of space between the E and the 6 in the first 3 digits.) not sure if that is common on vintage Coach bags or not.

The bag is authentic and the stamping and spacing are correct for the when and where made, Costa Rica in 1996.

Hi everyone,
Not bought a bag for a while but this one popped up on ebay and I had to have it as I haven't seen this bag much in the UK? Do you think it is real? I have already bought it I'm afraid but didn't spend too much so wouldn't be massively upset if it was fake. Thank you so much in advance

Yes, it looks incredibly similar to a Saddlery style by Coach. That’s actually how I stumbled upon it actually.
