I've seen this somewhere before. I'm pretty sure it is the size of a pouch, pretty small but bigger than 6 inches across. Probably closer to 8 or 9 inches.

ETA: I haven't found this exact item yet but the style seems to be from around 2001.

I found a number and a photo but no meeasurements. But looking at the size of the price tag compared to the size of the bag, I think Whateve is right, it's a pouch of some kind, which would explain why there's no serial number inside the bag.

Thank you both so much for taking the time to do this!! I'm so thankful really! If it's around 9 inches I can deal with that size but 6 would really be too small for anything!

And since the size of a folded Factory price tag is about 1 1/2 inches on eaach side, it could be close to the size the seller claims.

But what would anyone actually DO with something that small, and with no shoulder strap?

I think it might have been a cosmetic bag of sorts, like a mini train case. There was a mini lunch tote from around the same time that isn't much bigger: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Signa...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

They made the same print in some larger bags like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Signa...el-bag-6097-/131609152867?hash=item1ea4844d63

The other styles with style numbers right before and after this one are all from 2001 so that date sounds right. But I can see why it was a MFF item.

My friend just bought this keychain 2nd hand and we are unsure of its authenticity. We don't see any "Coach" stamps on it or "made in china" on the small keychain hang tag but I was told that this could possibly be a rare, authentic keychain.

Please help. Pictures attached.

It's authentic and I'd call it rare too. Those came out some time around 2003 so it might not have even been made in China, and Coach wasn't stamping that on the tags anyway back then, They came in pink or blue and were style 383, Enamel Teddy bear.

Thank you both again, I really appreciate the help! Since it really is so tiny I think I'll make a lower offer, I do really like the style

Sorry for so many requests recently, but I need help again with an authentication!

The bag is listed here https://www.poshmark.com/listings/560972396d64bc087e01501c

It doesn't seem to have a serial number and measures 6" across, 5" tall. If anybody knows what it's actually called, or have photos of it to compare scale, I would really really appreciate it as I cannot imagine it in my head being so small...

The other styles with style numbers right before and after this one are all from 2001 so that date sounds right. But I can see why it was a MFF item.

I'm not sure it was MFF. I believe it might have been FP but sold at the outlet, thus the bullet and the factory tag that replaced the original.

Hyacinth, whateve and BeenBurned, just off the top of your head, are you aware of any larger bags that have this style? The leather trim around the bottom with double zipper pulls? I would love to have this in a normal bag size

I don't think you'll find anything that's suitable as a handbag in that style. It's a toiletry travel bag, thus sized for carrying toiletries. Note the measurements of the following. (They aren't Coach.)

I completely agree with you. The logo, the nonsensical style number and the zipper pull are the most obvious things wrong with it.

1. needs creed photo in order to authenticate. Looks like a Manor bag.
2. looks good.
3. might be okay. I can't see the creed number in order to authenticate.
4. looks good. It's a Dinky bag #9375.
5. No creeds so can't authenticate. The light colored one is a Madison Spence bag. The black one could be a Legacy zip. These are highly faked.
