Genuine, and from the 1999 Chelsea line. I've never been able to find the exact style name. It might be a smaller version of the standard size 11x11 Chelsea Hobo but without the outside pockets. Is it smaller than 11x11? Here's the standard style 6003:

Chelsea Hobo Small would be my best guess.

Thanks for the information! Mine is 9" high, 10"across bottom and 4"deep

Then "Chelsea Hobo Small" is probably as close as we'll get unless someone finds a catalog page or an original price tag with Coach's style name. Except for the outside pockets the construction details like that center zip pocket on the inside, are similar.

It's not supposed to appear as a new thread. That's why this thread has 81,260 posts.

It's a genuine City Bag, style 9790 and made between 1990 and 1993.

It doesn't matter if the hardware attracts a magnet. Wherever you're reading these "rules" about how to find if a Coach is genuine, ignore them. Read THIS instead, and don't worry if some of the links don't work any more:

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Hello Authenticators!! Please check this one I saw at thrift store today...I didn't have a tape measure with me. I believe it's a pre-1994 Scout? #0728-221. Thank you for your time and attention.

Hello! I am hoping to have checked these bags. Looks identical but the creed number seems very different

Black one #J0673-09951

Brown one #G2P-9951

Thank you.

Hello all! Can someone tell me if this is authentic and what it is called? I did a keyword search of this whole thread, both cosmetic case and travel case, but found no previous posts with this exact style. It seems to be early 2000’s and maybe a later version of the Chubby Case without the piped trim?
6 1/4” long x 3” deep x 2” tall.

I had the chubby case you mentioned. I love these with the mirror. It looks authentic. I can't find this exact one in my files. You might be right, it was a little later.

It looks fine. Yes, it's a scout made 1991 - 1992.

I think it looks good. That's a great price for a Patricia.
