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.

Dear Authenticators,
Is this Rambler the real deal? And is it truly the British Tan color or Putty that got dark due to natural patina?

The bag you've asked about is authentic.

Caveat Emptor: Like Poshmark, Etsy is (in my experience) unresponsive to reports of fakes and also (in my experience), few sellers end their listings if and when told an item isn't authentic. As such, it's important to be careful when shopping.

Note that the Etsy seller FreeBirdVintageStyle also has this listing, NOT made by Coach.

Thanks very much BeenBurned. I rarely shop for Coach bags on Etsy (this might be my first - or second in years? But can’t really remember!). It’s good to heed to your warning So thank you. The link you shared of the fake Coach bag no longer exists when I tried to click it!

Thank you for your time!

Good morning! If the original link doesn't work I can copy and post the link again. I generally dont gamble with a Coach but it was a style I've been looking for. I haven't accepted yet on Mercari and have 48 hours left in the return window. Thank you all for your help, it is very appreciated.

It seems okay and looks like a swing wallet but I don't know the style number of this particular item.

Authentic spectator compact pouch.

I couldn't find a catalog photo for the Spectator Companion #9669, did coach ever put it in the catalogs? I have this bag in Putty and white.

I’m politely bumping this. Thank you!

I can't help unless you post a copy of the seller's creed and serial number photos and the bag's measurements from the listing. Thank you.

 

[Michelle1x]

Hi there, I think this bag is old (if authentic) - due to the thickness of the brass strap connector.
I can't find this color way in the old catalogs.

#0174-923, Made in United States

TIA!

 

[ConnieinSeattle]

How about this one? Please and thank you for an authentication opinion. It DOES have the little white tag inside, and I'll attempt to photograph. Serial No. M1680-58485. I scotch taped it down to take a photo.
It's a rexy wallet!

The only pics I have are from a post here, and no catalog information at all. My notes say "unk Spectator, similar to Compact Pouch except f strap & back pocket, 6.5x6.5, 21 strap drop adj, inside pocket zip, open back pocket (maybe 9076 Companion Flap)" but I can't find any catalogs from around 2001 with pictures of that particular Spectator line.

Theses are pics I have of other styles from that line:

Thank you.

Definitely genuine, it looks like the Compartment Bag Small, style 9845 from the late 1980s
