This is an authentic Whitney bag made in 1994.

Thank u so very much

 

[horrorchic1217]

This bag is authentic. It was made around 1991-1992. It is probably a Scout bag #9890. The closure is called a springlock. Next time if you want a bag IDed please provide measurements if the creed is all numeric (made before 1994).

Thank u so so much!

It's authentic. Seller is wrong about time frame. It was made between 1989-1993.

Can someone tell me if this is real? Seller sent me an offer like $40 off listed price. I’m on the fence about it.

Yes, it's authentic. Normally we don't need for you to post pictures unless they aren't shown in the listing. If you are going to post pictures, the creed picture is the most important. One of our authenticators has issues with seeing pictures on some of the listing sites so needs at least the creed picture shown.

None of those photos helps with authenticating the bag. Please include a copy of the seller's photo of the creed stamp and serial number. Thank you.

It's authentic.

That’s a relief! Could you tell me approximately when this bag would have been made?

Genuine. It was never called a Binocular Bag, but when it was first introduced in 1994 Coach called it a Canterbury Bag. They changed the name to Nottingham Bag early in 1995, which is when this one was made, March 1995 to be exact. Both style names had style number 9948. That type of clasp was called a turnlock.

Information about how to decode Coach's serial number codes in bags that used the new letter-and-number serials that Coach began to use starting in 1994 and continuing into 1996 is explained in both the Creeds and Serial Numbers chapters of the Salearea Coach Guides, the link to the thread is Pinned at the top of many of the pages of this sub-forum (some of the links are to old pages and no longer work):

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...
