It's authentic, made in 2003. I don't know the official name - maybe a Soho leather hobo?

It looks good.

Thanks!!

Buyers need to be EXTREMELY careful buying Tabby bags. I'm not comfortable recommending buying them from Japanese sellers at all. My conservative estimate based on many that I've watched is that 95% of Tabby (and other newer) items from Japan are fake.

In fact, I am not feeling the love from any of these, including some that claim to be located in "overseas United States."

Thank you, that was the feeling I was getting but had heard on TikTok that Japanese sellers "can't sell fakes" which doesn't make much sense.

Will save up and grab the Western from Coach website.

Thanks again.

Hello Authenticators! When you have a free moment, could you have a look at this bag? Thank you!

Item: Legacy Small Hobo 9059
Seller: Goodwill
Measurements: approx 10x6.5x4
Comments: Creed is faded so hard to get a good photo. But it’s all clearly legible IRL including brand logo.

Ebay was correct in this case. The bag is fake. The most obvious problem is with the creed and serial number. There's a contradiction between the text on the creed and the prefix (first half) plant code.

There should be a small white label hidden inside the bag in the lower left of the zippered pocket. We need to see a picture of that.
