Dear Authenticators,
Will one you please take a look at this troupe that I purchased on eBay and now have in my possession? It looks like my other Kaffe Fasset troupe except the creed patch is slightly smaller and the zipper pull on the inside is smaller. I think it’s proper for the hang tag not to painted on this one… Inside tag does say made in Vietnam, it was hard to photograph. I’m wondering if you see any red flags?
Thank you so much

Item: Coach Kaffe Fasset Patchwork Troupe 78465
eBay seller: djy992001
Measurements: approx 10x11.5x6.5 inches

Hi!

New member here, bought a men's Coach Black Leather Crossbody Bag on Ebay, seller had over 2000 feedback with 100%, got it at a very good price so not too worried but would love to have it authenticated. Serial/Model # is J7D-5291. Thanks in advance!IMG-0147.jpgIMG-0148.jpgIMG-0149.jpgIMG-0150.jpg
 
Oh wow! These are precious! Thank you! Where in the heck did you find these? lol! These would be perfect and belong in the Vintage Coach Catalogs section, don't you think?? Would be quite a nice addition, especially for people like myself, which I am sure there are many, who refer to those catalogs for color references. all the time! I hope you will add them? In the meantime, they are going in my saved files! lol! Thanks so much!
You're welcome. I got them from a collector who used to be active on the forum. You're right. I'll add them to the catalog section.

It's NOT a "Penny", that name as far as we can determine from Coach's printed media was never used for any vintage (20 years old or older) Coach bag. It's called a Pocket Purse and always has been since it was introduced in 1986, and it's genuine. This particular example was made in 1997. Please don't ever expect sellers to always get names, dates or Coach history right, bad information and incorrect names can spread very quickly among buyers and sellers, like the unproven name "Penny" which we've probably seen used in error for at least a dozen different styles.

From the 1987 Holiday catalog:
