Oh wonderful! At least it's a known wallet, thank you for that!

Here's a close up of the button:

Although the other details of your wallet looked okay, the snaphead looked off and before commenting on authenticity, I wanted to see a better picture.

The wallet is fine although I don't know the style number.

Greetings and a Happy New Year to all. I would appreciate any expert feedback as to the authenticity of the following COACH bag:

Item: Vintage COACH XL Bucket Bag | Black Leather Huge Feed Bag Purse[/B]
Listing number:
Seller: DuetVintage
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/2620726...-shop-header-0

Comments: I'm questioning the authenticity of this bag since the straps and zippers do not line up with the vertical seams in the body. Also, it has buckle attachments and a "square" (to the vertical) zipper line akin to the pre-creed Feed Bag precursor to Duffel Sac. All the Duffel Sacs (style 9085) and earlier Feed bags I've seen have buckles and zipper ends that terminate along the body seam line. And I don't see any marking in the vicinity of the creed tag indicating that this was an "irregular."

Thanks in advance for your time and input.

I've never seen that before either. And something like that seems like it would have caused the bag to be considered too irregular to sell. It's hard to imagine a bag with that glaring a mistake even being allowed to leave the plant.

The other pictures in the listing aren't much help, they're of the wrong areas or badly out of focus. It's impossible to see how the inside pocket is installed and aligned, for instance. The stitching around the top and top edge doesn't look right either and neither do what little I can see of the strap buckle mountings.

But whether or not the bag is fake, it's so badly and obviously flawed that there's no way I'd buy it even if it could be proved beyond any doubt to be genuine.

It's authentic but I can't find a style number.

I can't find a number either, but there was a whole line of Made-for-Factory bags in that fabric called either Hamptons or Hamilton Tattersall and made in 2009. There was even a jacket to match:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-COACH-W...720190?hash=item1c4ea80bbe:g:shwAAOSwqu9U66BR

There were one or two other Tattersall color combinations from around the same time too.

Item: Court bag 9870
Listing number: NA
Seller: perfectplacement from etsy
Link: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/11...i_CH-ZJrXu&eaid=37239073919&x_eaid=a8bcb3adbf


After clicking the link, scroll down for pictures of the item.




Comments: I believe that it is genuine and that it is a Court bag but I'd appreciate it if you could confirm that. And if you know anything about the bag - when it was made, etc. it would be greatly appreciated!

It shows "No. G8C-9870" in the creed and it reads:

"This is a coach bag. It was handcrafted in the United States of completely natural glove-tanned cowhide. The variations in the grain are characteristic of natural full-grain leather."

Thanks for your help!

It looks fine. It is a court bag. It was made in 1998 in the US.
