Good morning to all! It is gray and wet here in too-warm-for-almost-December Baltimore and so I thought I'd go through my rehab pile before work today. Here are a few I would love to have authenticated. TIA!

And finally...

Coach Court Bag style 9870 with unique number made in United States
9 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 3" with 45" strap

I think this is Burgundy although I will have to give it a bath and see how it comes out.

Genuine. I think someone asked about this a week or two ago but I can't find the post. It's a Retro Lindy Bag style 9003 from the 1991 Retro Collection.

OK, found it, we talked about the collection on Nov 13

Hello, I am new, hope I am doing this right. I got this purse, I am a complete purse novice so please excuse any dumb questions, and thank you for any info! The bag is very nice quality with no labels and looks like a vintage Coach bag to me, the novice. No markings on it at all. :smile1:

Welcome to tPF!

There's no way to authenticate it without any markings, even old Coaches usually had some kind of markings except for the very early ones and this doesn't look old enough to be unmarked.

The style is similar to styles Coach started making in the late 1980s or early 1990s but all of those would have had Coach stamped creeds and serial numbers. I don't remember seeing it in any of the vintage files or albums. The strap wasn't made by Coach though although straps can be changed..

Sorry, I know it's disappointing, but my best guess would be that it's a generic copy of a late 1980s or 1990s style. It looks like good quality though, so use and enjoy it. More opinions are welcome.

a- Twenty-one years AFTER Bonnie Cashin cut her ties with Coach, so the "Bonnie Cashin" description is baloney.

b- 1995 - the year code(s) are included in all serial numbers of GENUINE bags made from 1994 to the present. The six Salearea Coach guides posted at Ebay will tell you how to read them, and a lot more besides. Please read them and Save the links, and/or Copy them to your Documents file
