It's authentic. Yes, it's a mini bucket. The Lightweights collection was called Soho by then but is the same leather. At the time there were 3 or 4 plants in the US. We don't know for sure where the C plant was. It's in pretty good condition. You might have touch up some of the stains with paint or dye.

Thank you so much 😄.

It's authentic. You are correct. The plant code is B. I have repaired worn out piping and have been happy with the results. So has @ConnieinSeattle You can see how to do it in the rehab club. I think it is in very good condition aside from the piping.

Here is an early piping repair I did. I got better at it on later bags.

Thank you. It looks good 🌟.

It's authentic. I think it is probably 1996. I think it is in very good condition and will be an easy rehab.

Fabulous, thank you. 😍

Dear Authenticators,

Is this Coach messenger the real deal? I’ve never seen this style before with the corner turnlocks. Thanks so much.

It's authentic. It was called a belted pouch. Be careful if you want another; this style is counterfeited a lot.

That’s a relief, thank you!

I believe it is authentic. The creed wording is something I would expect to see on later bags, not bags made in 2000, but I've seen other bags of the same style made at the same time with the same wording.
