Hi, all. Might I ask you to have a look at a bag for me this evening? Thank you, as always.

Legacy Studio Flap (9145) in mahogany - L0D-9145 (the D looks a little like a B in the photos, but it’s just the coloring—the actual indentation is a D)

Recent Mercari purchase from user Josephin b.

Measurements: 7.5" x 8.5" x 2.5"

It looks fine.

Hi. Thank you for taking a look. I am almost positive this briefcase is fake for a number of reasons....

1. because the number etched in is K2L 9790. The creed says United States, but the letter "L" doesn't match for United States.
The creed is correct and reads:
THIS IS A COACH BAG. IT WAS HANDCRAFTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF COMPLETELY NATURAL GLOVE-TANNED COWHIDE. THE VARIATIONS IN THE GRAIN ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF NATURAL FULL-GRAIN LEATHER.

Also, 9790 matches for a city bag, not a briefcase.

2. It almost looks like the leather piece with the creed and number were stitched in and that piece of leather doesn't match the interior or exterior leather.

Unbelievable!

Looking forward to your opinions.

Thank you.

Please post a link to the listing from which it was purchased.

Hello authenticators! I've come to ask for your help once again if that is ok. I am searching for a good 9033 ergo bag for my younger sister. I found one but I am not sure if it's real. All the bags on their page don't have hang tags. I know that means nothing but I want to be sure. Thank you for your time.

Hello! Were there any Stewardess bags produced in the pre-creed days? I have one that looks and feels like Coach, measurements match, but there is no creed or Coach mark anywhere. Also no feet, and it has “solid brass” stamped on the front turn lock.
Possible name: Stewardess bag
No creed
Measurements: 11 w x 10 h x 4 1/2w
Purchased in a thrift store over 5 years ago.
Thank you for any guidance you can give me.

I don't believe that was made by Coach.

I was also wondering about the authenticity of this ebay listing:

Item: Court bag in British Tan
Listing number: 276241753850
Seller and site where listed: Chiox48, ebay
Link:

Vintage Coach Brown Leather Xbody Saddle Bag With Brass Hardware Leather Lined | eBay

Made of high-quality leather with brass hardware, this bag features a turn lock closure and buckle accents. Due to the nature of the leather and the production process to give a soft feel the variance of color and texture is not considered a defect.
