Good morning all,

Please authenticate/identify this Coach. I purchased it at an estate sale probably 10 years ago.
Measurements are 13.5 inches in length, 9.5 inches deep, and 3.25 inches in width. Brown leather with Talon zipper.

Thank you so much

Good morning. I purchased this center seam duffle with a certain amount of confidence since I already had one of this type that was authenticated here a number of years ago. As I often do, I only saw what I wanted to see in the listing and did not notice the zipper pull, which is unlike anything I've seen on a Coach bag of this vintage. I'm attaching the original listing and a photo of the creeds of the two bags (one I already owned) and the zipper pulls of both. I can live with a replacement zipper (an expensive and apparently well done repair) as long as the bag is genuine. Thank you.

The bag is fine.

I can't comment on whether Coach ever used the zipper as shown on the newer one you purchased or if it's a replacement.

I am new and terrible at using the internet so I am sorry if I am doing this wrong.. I wanted to get some help authenticating this City I got at the flea. I took good photos so it’s easy to see. I have concerns about the stitching but the bag was so supple and the creed looked right to me. Thanks so much.

I'm sorry but I believe it is fake.

What was the tell? Was I right about the stitching?

We don't pay that much attention to stitching. It is the creed number and the font. The first digit is a month code. The only valid letters are A through M. The third digit is a plant code. Although L is a valid plant code, creeds produced by that plant have a unique font, format and alignment, very different from this creed.

Good afternoon dear authenticators! A request to authenticate please. Thank you!

Item: Stewardess
Where purchased or how obtained: thrift store
Comments: dimensions are 8 inches height, 10 1/2 inches width, a little over 4 inches depth. Finally a decent photo of a creed! Do not know how it got on its side!
