Genuine. Coach lists the measurements as 9 x 6 1/2 x 3 and it's called an Ashland Bag, style 9914 from the Camden Classics Collection and made between 1992 and 1993. The lock type was called a Touchlock and was only used for a few years.

From a Fall 1992 catalog:

Hi, I’d appreciate help in authenticating these two bags:
1) Platform: eBay
Item: Don’t know the style name, creed #F3Q-6610
Item number: 355101763698
Seller: ver_4000
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3551017636...gbA_SMBTwi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Comments: I see only one post here about a bag with an F3Q in the style number, and it was many years ago. So I’m suspicious. I found another with the identical Creed number of this bag (see below).

Bag#2:
Platform: eBay
Item # 126122034094
Creed number: same as the bag above, F3Q-6610
Seller: Toyo21211t56
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1261220340...gbA_SMBTwi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Comments: There are several bags listed on eBay with the style number 6610. Sellers are calling them Janice bags, which I know they are not, or mini Janice bags. Do you know the name of this style? Are both of these OK or are they fakes?

Thank you!
 
Good afternoon Experts! I saw this on ebay from Japan. what kind of bag is this?

Please copy the seller's creed and serial photo and post it here. Thank you.
Seller premier--japan

I wouldn't recommend buying the bag you've asked about. For the record, these are a couple of pictures from the listing and because of the red flags as well as the history among Japanese sellers (including this seller), I'd hit the back button.

These are two of the pictures from the listing @crazycatlady76 asked about:
1697256727929.png 1697256748726.png

I recommend extreme caution (if not avoidance) of Japanese sellers' listings. This seller (among many others from Japan) has a supplier of very close Coach fakes. I have a record of having found fakes from premier--japan this past July and in fact, the seller has this sold listing of a fake. Notice the description of the style on the tag: Signature accordion zip around. This bag is NOT a zip around wallet!

Thanks, BB! That's what I suspected. I couldn't open any of the listing photos so I didn't know if it was newer than 1994 but it sure didn't look like a 9085 from the gallery pic. I can't even figure out what style it's trying to be, other than "weird fake".
 
Hi everyone,

I just saw this online and i just wanted to ask if anyone knows what bag is this and if it’s legit.

Thank you. ☺️

Hi there! Hope everyone's having a great weekend! Please help me in authenticating what appears to be a made in China black Coach Willis 9927 with brass hardware. Ever since I rehabbed my first made in USA black Coach Willis and have been taking it everywhere with me, I've wanted to rehab another one as a gift for a friend who has been loving it too. I'm hoping that this one was a good choice as well.
Item: vintage Coach bag
Listing number: N/A
Seller and site where listed: From the seller "Abrogan" on the site Mercari
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m70187845011/
Comments: The bag's dimensions are approximately 10" by 10" by 3.5". The pictures below are directly from the listing from the seller. The inside zipper chain looks a lot different than the one from a genuine Willis I already have (it doesn't look like it's brass), so wanted to leverage your expert opinion on this. I'm hoping this one's real! From what I see from the creed photo, I think the serial number reads E060-9927 (I'm guessing that it was made in 2006 so it doesn't quite qualify as vintage, but I'm okay with that). Thanks in advance!
