It's genuine.

You should only compare details of bags of the same style, or at least from the same style LINE, in this case the Madison line. Because two bags are made in the same country doesn't mean they are going to have the same details. Country of origin has nothing to do with it. The wording of the creed can change along the way.

Thank you, Hyacinth! I was outbid by a sniper at the last second. Maybe next time.

I appreciate your guidance regarding comparing details only from bags of the same line! I will endeavor to do so in the future.

My search on Coach bags made in Italy brought me to a post on Facebook that you perhaps wrote, it mentioned a Dakota line of bags made in Italy. Is there a resource you could recommend about the Dakota line?

Does anyone have any idea if this piece is authentic Coach? I've been carrying it around for a while. Got it several years back at a consignment shop. It measures 10" wide, 7.5" high, and has slim profile. Interior is unlined suede with no pockets, no creed patch. Could it be a pice that belongs inside another Coach item? There is an ID pocket, 3 pen holders, and a larger pocket to front. Thanks for your help, as always!

It's authentic. It was called an organizer caddy #4514. It was in a 1997 catalog.

Dear Authenticators, if you get a chance, please check this one out for me...thanks in advance.
Item: COACH 9790 City Tan Leather Crossbody Purse Shoulder Bag
Seller and site where listed: Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina - GREENVILLE
Link: https://shopgoodwill.com/item/167847619
Comments: It has the dreaded J4D, so expert eyes are definitely needed

Fake.

And guess what They are going to sell the darn thing today

I don't care how many random items shopgoodwill.com has authenticated with "COA" from Entrupy and another company in an attempt to show integrity. They've listed and sold too many fakes with COAs attesting to their being authentic and too many other sales of fakes without a COA. (Makes me wonder if they only show "authenticated" items when they "pass" and if they simply list with BS disclaimers of responsibility when they either don't pass authentication or if they don't know.)

Although in theory, Goodwill's mission is commendable, my opinion is that they only want items sold and don't GAS about abiding by the law. (And for the record, I don't shop on Goodwill's various online sites, Goodwill's ebay stores nor at Goodwill B&M stores.)

It's a genuine Courier Pouch probably made between 1980 and 1987, style number 8920. Here's a copy of the Summer 1986 catalog page:

Just the Italy part of the Salearea Guides and the early 1990s Vintage Coach Catalogs thread in the Coach Reference forum. Or you can just do a Coach Forum search for "Coach Dakota".

I couldn’t find this in the catalog archives. Would really appreciate help authenticating/identifying this bag?

I maxed out the contrast on the photo of the creed to make it more legible.
