That was helpful - thank you! Yes, a slight difference in the flap of each bag.

Picture on pg 10 of Vintage Coach Cat thread, post #142, third double-page spread, shown in Rose Nubuc (4946), 4919 not shown but listed below. Comparing looks like 4946/4919 flap doesn't come as far down front & has rounder corners. 4929 flap comes almost to bottom of bag & corners look rounded, just not AS rounded as 4946/4919. What do you think?

4919 is a Small Flap Natural Grain and 4929 is a Small FULL Flap Natural Grain. The flaps are sightly different.

Hello fellow authenticators.

I'm needing assistance authenticating a thrifted Coach clutch that I've never been able to identify. It appears to be some type of NYC-era slim clutch but the dimensions are odd.

Dimensions: 11"x4"x1.5

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It's authentic but I have no idea what it's called.

I bought this at a consignment store recently thinking it was a Taft.. but I couldn't read the creed bc it was too faded. Got it home and washed it before I decided to wipe some eyeshadow over the creed and I'm guessing it's fake because of the wrong serial number. Also stitching/cutting is rough in places. Ugh. Just want to confirm before I go through the embarrassment of returning it. I feel so stupid. I took off the turnlock to clean but they looked fine. Thanks!

It's 10×13

Hello. I know that some of the authenticators don't like to do Poshmark items but this has got to be one of the oddest Coach bags I have ever seen. I never imagined they could make something like this, but they've surprised me before. Thanks.

Dear Authenticators,
Did coach ever do black zippers or dark ones that did not match bag colour for the 4104 bag Or have creed codes with format “Number-Letter-Letter- Style number” by mistake?
