the short strap is connecting to the outside of the bag. on other newer versions of the bag, the short strap looks like it is connecting more to the middle of the bag. that was really the only difference I saw.

It looks the same as all the rest of those on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Clothing-Shoes-Accessories-/11450/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=coach+19393
Are you sure you are comparing the same style number? This is the shoulder bag. There was also a tote, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Hampt...449703?hash=item33aed3d2a7:g:wtoAAOSwhcJWJ74f It is style # 19391, while the shoulder bag is 19393.

Farther down is a link to 5 current listings for the same style but I don't see any differences between these and the bag you originally posted about here:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...e-before-posting-889527-805.html#post29709832

They all seem to be connected by means of several O-rings to large metal grommets at the same place on each top corner of the bag. Can you point out which ones aren't?

As Whateve already pointed out, you need to be comparing EXACTLY the same styles and style NUMBERS. If you're comparing a Tote to a Shoulder or Hobo-style bag, you're NOT comparing the same style. If the style numbers are different, why would you expect the bags to have the same details?

I'm assuming since you're saying some are "newer" than others, that you know where to find the date codes and how to read them? And how to find the style numbers?

She is listing her bag as style 19391 which shows the strap in the middle with the others I found on eBay under that style number but her strap is on the outside which would mean it should be 19393. Does that make sense?

Sorry I just checked again and she has the bag listed incorrectly. She has 19391 in her listing but when you look at the photos the creed shows correctly as 19393. Appreciate all your help:)

Yes that makes sense. You can't rely on the seller to know the correct style number. The number on the creed is what matters, and on hers, the number is 19393. Her title is wrong.

Yes I just saw that. Not sure why she has it listed as 19391 when clearly the creed shows as 19393. In any case, it is the real deal which is what I needed to know so thanks so much. Would you happen to have any advice as how to clean color transfer off of vachetta leather? That is the only issue with her bag.

It looks authentic.

Color transfer is really hard to get rid of. On top of that, this is vachetta, which is really hard to clean. There is a product on Amazon that is supposed to get rid of color transfer. I've never tried it so I don't know if it works and I don't know if it would work on vachetta. I've cleaned vachetta with vinegar and a magic eraser. It works on some stains but not all, generally lightening it a bit. If you bought it, it would be a risk as there is a good chance you wouldn't be able to get rid of the stain.
