It's authentic. "I" was avoided but mistakes were made sometimes. This is one of the times. I've seen others with the same date code from the same factory. Very cute bag!

ETA: You don't need to provide measurements for bags that have a style number in the creed.

Thank you for giving it a look! What a relief! And thank you for letting me know I don't need to post measurements if there is a style number. I just got in the habit.

Greetings everyone!!! I've been buried in work for weeks but finally have a break. Here are several finds from this summer that I would love to have authenticated. Any help with names would be much appreciated.

Vintage wallet or ID holder or photo carrying case...?
5 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Vintage large kiss lock coin purse
7" long x 4" tall x 1" deep

Vintage small flap pouch with key chain
4 1/4" x 3 1/2" x 3/4"

I've never seen the first one before but I don't see any problems. The second one looks authentic, but I don't have the name or number. The smaller version (7155) was just called change purse. The bottom one is a multi-function purse 7219.

Another few for authentication from my summer thrifting

Large snap front wallet or clutch black outside and brown inside
7 1/2" long x 4 1/4" x 1"

Red embossed logo wallet with tattersall lining
4 1/2" x 3 1/4" x 1 1/4"

Embossed logo pouch or wristlet, taupe with tattersall lining
6" x 4" x 1/2"

ooh thank you! Such a speedy reply! Thanks a bunch whateve! I wonder if the first thing (with the card holder and the corners on the back) might have been an insert inside of a larger wallet or travel case or something.

Embossed logo pouch or wristlet, taupe with tattersall lining
6" x 4" x 1/2"

The first one doesn't look familiar. I can't remember ever seeing an authentic snap that looked like that.

The red wallet looks like a Bleecker leather compact clutch 40881 from 2007.
The wristlet is Bleecker leather wristlet 40885.

You're welcome!

That's what it looks like to me, like it was inside a briefcase.

I recommend you do a search of the forum for posts on Gutsygirls (her Etsy ID), debbieb208 (her ebay ID) and Gutsy_Girls (formerly on bonanza but gone from there).

This seller has a long history of listing fakes, no longer listing Coach on ebay or Bonz and doesn't seem to care whether she sells fakes or not.

Not only didn't she care, but if any of her fakes was removed by Ebay she'd promptly turn around and list them on Bonanza or Etsy, making sure not to show photos of any detail that might show it was fake, like a creed or serial number.

I wouldn't touch any of her items with a 10-foot electrified pole.

The "Bleecker" in her listing is a COMPLETE FAKE, BTW, it's also dated 15 years AFTER Bonnie Cashin left Coach. She constantly lies about her bags' ages and their usually non-existant connection to Bonnie Cashin. If we had a Hall Of Shame here for sellers, she'd be a Lifetime Member.

I'll check the others ASAP.

What I've noticed in Gutsygirls - debbieb208 listings is that if she knows or suspects that a bag is fake, she avoids showing the creed in those bags. (Evidently, the "Bleaker" (sic) she has listed on etsy wasn't one she's aware was fake!)

She also violates Etsy's "vintage" rules by listing bags that aren't vintage.

This bag was made in 2010, not even close to vintage!
https://www.etsy.com/listing/251851...e-coachcoach-bag-coach?ref=shop_home_active_1

Made in 2012? Vintage? NOT!
https://www.etsy.com/listing/251086041/moving-sale-coachcoach-bag-pink-coach?ref=shop_home_active_4

This "willis" she has listed has a known invalid serial number, 0444-315:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/251741...e-coachcoach-bag-coach?ref=shop_home_active_2

And I'll add one more current fake from GutsyGirls, a bag with a J8Y prefix:
