Genuine, but I don't have any information about the style. The creed looks correct for a bag made of vachetta leather.

There were at least 3 other vachetta styles made at the same time in the E plant. Italy was still making a limited number of styles, mostly in more expensive leathers or complicated designs that Coach apparently wasn't ready to trust to the Chinese plants yet.

ETA - here's one of its siblings made at the same time:

Thank you, Hyacinth. I know that took some extra research. I appreciate your taking the time. I am developing a love for Coach bags made in Italy. Now I need the sibling. I also need to learn how to care for vachetta leather.

Sorry but this one is fake. The serial number font isn't correct for the year and plant.
