I got this "Dooney & Bourke" bag.... I know. :P I knew at a glance it was Coach and so it is! However, I'd still like the professionals to give it the once over for authenticity. Thanks!! Beenburned correctly identified it earlier as a "Tango Flap" in the ID this Coach thread. It's perfect and gorgeous. Measures 7 x 6.5 x 2.5.

Good day :smile:
Spending the day with my wife for Valentine's Day we went to a few vintage resell shops. She fell in love with this purse and we were curious if it was legit. Thank you, you are all amazing!

A few details on the creed patch worry me. The fonts in the sstyle and serial number don't match the other E5E- prefixes in my files, and the "o" in "No" isn't quite the same. There aren't any other examples in my files from the 1995 Italy plant of that font being used to stamp the style number in a Sonoma but it might have been some kind of temporary repair. The wording of the creed is right though.

I don't have any detailed photos of the bag construction. More opinions are welcome.

In case you missed it, the word distinctive is misspelled. That, plus the weird number font, makes me worry.

Thank you both Hyacinth and whateve, for sharing your time and knowledge with me this evening. The leather on this bag is lovely and thankfully purchased at not a large amount. ETA..."puffy" creed I was wondering about. ?
