Hi all - came upon this one while window shopping.

Item: coach vintage leather black with white top stiching handbag satchel shoulder
Listing number: 176596296708
Seller and site where listed: yardleyfreak on eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176596296708
Comments: The creed says the bag is made of leather but the pictures make it look like it's made of fabric. I am pretty sure that's a 9 on the end of the style number, it's a little hard to read.

I keep comparing it to this one and they just don't look the same, especially on the bottom.

Item: Genuine Coach Leather 19x16 Large Soft Black Shoulder Bag Purse #F1069-F14379
Listing number: 176415556741
Seller and site where listed: CatawabaLGS on eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176415556741
Comments: Obviously I don't know if this one is authentic either but at least it looks like leather.

I completely accept it might just be me, but I was too curious to not ask! Thanks!

That is very interesting. The second one is authentic. I have no idea what is going on with the first one.

Those pictures aren't great but I believe the first one is leather. Seller also describes it as leather in both the item specifics and in the description.

THe first bag looks fine as does the second.

The pictures of the first one made me think it was a completely different style! Now I see it was just the way it was photographed.

Check out the rehab club for suggestions on replacement straps. It is easier to find black. A lot of Coach straps are interchangeable.

It's authentic and that is what it is. The navy used was super dark. I don't think it has darkened. In the catalog pictures you can't tell it from black.

Thank you, I thought so but I just wanted to be sure. Since you provided the catalog picture, I wanted your opinion. The Navy is very very dark. Only under extremely bright light can you see it is navy.
