Last one from this thrift trip!

Comments: The underside of the inside flap is not dyed, is that normal or some sort of giveaway?

Thanks for the wisdom and for your time!

Just bought this Murphy from a local thrift shop! I saw it and instantly fell in love. I snap a picture before I “dunked” of the creed. All others are during the drying process. I hope it’s authentic

PLEASE don't waste your time on it, it's fake. That serial prefix in any "Coach" that says it was made in the USA is invalid.

ETA - Never mind, I should have refreshed the page before replying.

Since the first bag I thought was authentic do you all mind checking another please? I’m just getting into the vintage bags and just want to find myself the perfect bag to restore for me! I don’t have much info besides a different local thrift shop sold this one maybe VOA.

I was unable to find serial numbers and I’ve had a hard time finding any info of the bag. There’s a spot on the strap that’s having a hard time staying together and unsure how to fix if there’s any suggestions.
L: 10in
H: 7in
W: 2in

Genuine,from the early 1990s Sheridan line. It looks like a Charleston Bag, style 4217. Some bags from that line did not have stamped serial or registration numbers

Please ask at the Rehab and Rescue Club for repair information and advice.

Hello! Would someone please authenticate this bag for me? Found at Goodwill. I know it's a Sonoma backpack, but I keep seeing various wordings on the images of the creeds I can find, so I want to double-check that this one is legit.

Thanks a bunch!
