Item: Vintage COACH! Red Purse Tote HandBag Classic Leather

Listing number: 252149192846

Seller: cyvette71

Comments: I requested additional picture from the seller (attached). I know the creed is blurry, so I understand if it isn't possible to authenticate. Thanks for taking a look!

It seems genuine, depending on a better photo of the creed once you get the bag. I haven't seen any fakes of the early styles with the glued-in numbers but if anyone else has, please let us know.

It's a Basic Bag, style 9455, from the late 70s or very early 80s.

Hello, hello!

The bag referenced above just arrived today - yay! I took some additional pictures to verify its authenticity. Please let me know if you need measurements or anything else.

Thanks again!

I have seen remakes of this Bonnie Cashin design. I don't see any problems with it. I've never seen those hinges. I assume the hardware is brass?
