Hi! Could someone weigh in on this cosmetic case? What is this "Limited Edition"? At first glance, I thought it was #6988 because of the size and shape. But I've never seen an inside zip pocket in any of those. Thoughts? Photos are from the listing. Thank you.

It's fine. I know 6987 and 6988 don't have pockets so it may be 6989. Other opinions are welcome.

I posted about a month ago about 3 similar styles:

Thanks for checking! The seller listed the size as 7 x 5, which made me think it was the Medium 6988. Besides your previous post of the 3 sizes, I found the attached photo showing the dimensions of each. The large case #6989 is 9 3/16 x 6 1/2 - almost clutch size, but there's no mention of whether the large size has an interior pocket.

@BeenBurned - I found an online listing for one that measures 8.75 x 6 - which is between the size of the Medium #6988 and Large #6989. I thought it might actually be #6989 if authentic, but the seller says there is no interior pocket. So the eBay listing seems to be the only one with an interior pocket I've found so far.

ETA: reattached a photo that seemed to have vanished - dimensions of all 3 sizes of pouches

I saw your request, did some digging and was unable to find any evidence of that style or that style number as indicated by the creed/serial number.

The tag has no helpful information and I've never seen one like that before.

Although I don't see any obvious red flags and the details look like Coach, my opinion is that the bag cannot be authenticated.

Is the style number 11616 or 11816? I can't find any bag with either of those style numbers. (There's a listing with a typo calling the bag in the listing 11616 but the number is actually 11615.)

Thank you @BeenBurned. The style number is 11616 (I apologize for the wonky creed photo, it was a difficult one to take).

What originally led me to tPF and the authenticity inquiry was a Google search of the creed that produced a thread here from 2007. A member posted the style 11616 was only released in Hawaii and Las Vegas and attached a photo although it’s now unavailable to view (although I have a limited profile as a new member so that may be on my end). Bummer 😭🤣

I’ll have to hope for the best when I take a deep dive into catalogs and if I find anything would love you to take a look. Thanks again 🤍

Hello,

When I saw your posts, I recalled that I saw bags with similar details on Wayback, so I poked around and found this: Hamptons Collection. While I didn't find the bag per se, the striping and leather colour align with the Hamptons Collection from that period.

I hope this might be helpful to you! ☺️

It's fine, made in 2003. The font is correct for the year and plant.

Hi all! Would love to see if this is authentic or not, the turnlock pieces are throwing me off. Thanks in advance!

The turnlock pieces SHOULD be throwing you off. They were not original to the bag. Now we need to see if the bag itself is correct.

Since my computer can't open Ebay or any other listing photos, please copy the seller's photo of the creed and serial number and post them here. In fact, please do this for all future requests. Thank you.

For a seller such as Steve's Vintage Auto & Collectibles - stevesvintageauto00 - with a "no return" policy, it's important to disclose any irregularities. An undisclosed modification as major as hardware puts the seller at risk of a NAD (not as described) claim, one in which the seller has to pay for return shipping and refund the full payment made by the buyer.

The bag itself is authentic, made in 2002.
