Thank you for the extra photos.

It's a genuine Mini Bag, style number 9825 and made some time around 1989-1990, the "Bean Bag" creed indicates 1990. Here is Coach's catalog photo from 1989.

I AM THINKING OF BUYING THIS AND ASKED SELLER FOR A BETTER PIC OF THE CREED
I AM WONDERING IF THE NEWEST STEWARDESS BAGS HAVE LEATHER INSIDE ON THE BOTTOM THE OLDER ONES WERE SUEDE
NAME STEWARDESS BAG
SELLER HELLOCCHELLO
ITEM NUMBER 111883562648

1. In the future, NEVER list an item before you know (with 100% certainty) that it's authentic. The law (and as such, ebay policy) requires that sellers know items are authentic or they cannot be sold anywhere.

2. The purse forum rules disallow posting your own listings for authentication as it can be construed as advertising. If you need an item authenticated (that you didn't purchase directly from an authorized retailer), you may post pictures only without mentioning selling

3. The bag looks okay.

I am so sorry. Thank you, Stephanie

It looks good. The new stewardesses have a different style number so they could have differences from the original design. Why would she remove the feet?!

Items need to be authenticated prior to listing them, especially when buyers/resellers aren't expert, aren't authenticators and haven't checked the Salerea authenticity guides or TPF answers to AUTHENTICITY questions!!! where that specific prefix has been mentioned:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-sh...enticity-questions-94198-72.html#post26447774

ETA: Wait a second! That's not a purchase; it's also listed on Etsy by the same Oregon seller.

NO, not authentic. Mybonvivant needs to end the Etsy listing.

Phew! Thanks a lot!!

May I ask what the hangtags looked like in these days, were the logos on both sides or just one?

Usually they were stamped on both sides, but because they were 2 separate pieces of leather that were glued together, the two pieces often came apart after a few years.

I am confused. Does that mean the same seller had it listed on EBay and Etsy?
I don't go on Etsy that much. lol

Did the Etsy listing already disappear? I can't find it.

Which is fine, as long as it's gone for good.

"I am confused. Does that mean the same seller had it listed on EBay and Etsy? "
Probably depends on how much you believe in coincidences.

Thank you BB, looks like the listing has ended.
