The bag is authentic. I don't know the exact name of the style but it's a Soho leather swingpack from 2004.

As Hyacinth noted above, posting on the AT thread is appropriate. But I will chime in as a vintage Coach collector/enthusiatst, I have handled two bags imo that were dead on duplicates of known vintage styles (Legacy Zip and Monterey Hobo) with no creed stamp on the inside pocket. They were obviously made by someone who was skilled in crafting the authentic styles or bags based on these styles in order to imitate the authentic bag. Others have also posted on bags that are unmarked, striking duplicates. They are a bit of an enigma and without the appropriate Coach identifier stamp are basically an unbranded leather bag.

Dear authenticators! Good afternoon! Not really a request to authenticate but rather a curiousity. I have several non Coach vintage bags that are the same model as vintage and found in thrifts around NYC area. The following is one of them.
Item: like a Berkely crescent
Where purchased: thrift store
Comments: dimensions are....tbd...unable to find tape measure (not at my place). I day dream that a worker made this off hours in the original NYC Factory ETA:inside zipper pull same as Coach. Extra hardware piece added.

Could you please authenticate this bag for me, I would like to post on the rehab thread. Thank you I appreciate it
Item: Women's Coach Tan Leather Purse, Pre-Owned in Good Condition
Listing #:
Seller & Site: kkubbie - Poshmark
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Womens...ed-in-Good-Condition-6172fb0f8da5c99106ffd826
Comments: I know, I know, I call it my maybe Tabac, maybe Putty pig in a poke satchel otherwise known as a 9725 Madison Satchel from approx 1988-1993. I have provided the photographs that you request since the seller did not provide them in her listing. I will say this seller really knows how to pack an item - tons of tissue, bubble wrap and air pillows in a full size cardboard box, but just does not take many photographs.

I can't speak for the bag shown but I've see cases where there's just a Coach stamp but it's no rubbed that it's almost invisible. If it's there and if it's Coach, sometimes with a magnifying glass, you might be pick up a bit of the border.

Are there any markings on the buckles?
Are there indentations on the back of the female side of the turnlock?

 

[Jacynthe]

Thank you BeenBurned! (Please see added photos). No markings on buckles. No indentations on back of female turnlock (2 prongs missing). I do not see the "Coach" pre creed stamp. Found a tape measure... dimensions are 10" height measured in middle, 11" on side. About 10 1/2" width at bottom, 8" or so at top. 43" strap length. DD told me hands off, not for sale. ETA: depth is about 3"

Not sure if this will be helpful as it may not include your 1999 bag color. But here's a photo showing it as new for the 1998 collection.

Thank you so much! It is helpful. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!

Good evening Authenticators! Could someone take a look at this key fob? If authentic, my research shows it could be style #7298 Story Key Fob. I've attached a found link for another #7298 key fob for reference. A found reference photo is also attached.

You know there is no way to prove it is a Coach. It could have been made by a Coach craftsman offhours or just a fan. The type of leather looks just like the Coach version and I would think that would be hard to copy. The color looks off. It looks like the suede is russet and the pebbled is mahogany. Maybe that is why it didn't get a creed.
