Thanks!!

Thanks for your quick response and all the good news. Yes the fob is stamped Coach on the back. I'm not tuned in to the key fobs but I have seen quite a few posts of yours here about them so I know they are collectible. I did an ebay search and didn't see anything that matched this one though so thought it may not have been a separate item.

Thanks for checking it out. There is a little bit of verdigris here and there on the brass. Zipper pocket goes all the way across the back of the purse. Creed is not as lumpy IRL.

You're welcome!

I just purchased this but the color and the fact that it still had it's tag kind of alarmed me. When were aqua green coach bags produced?

That's a valid color for Spring and Summer 1997. The bag is genuine.

Hi everyone! So I lucked out today. I found a Whitney I've been eyeing for about a week and some kind of a clutch with pockets for cards and a little pocket. Both are in my possession.

You bet your bippy it would!
Along with that, the border around the Coach logo above the creed stamp is wrong, and the leather tab on the top zipper isn't sewn correctly.

Please report.

Thanks. It's gone!

Comment: Was the NYC 'A' plant still producing bags in 1996?

Officially the NYC plant stopped production in 1994 when the new plant codes were introduced. We've seen several authentic bags with the A code up through at least 1998. They may have used the A designation when bags were produced there for training purposes, and possibly for pilot bags. The bag in the listing looks fine. I noticed that the zipper pull is longer than others I've seen but we've seen variations in styles made in the different plants.

Please authenticate. And if you know, please tell me what it is. Thanks.

Yes, that one is fake. It also has the wrong lining and the date code is too early for the style. I'd love the red one if my name was Vera!

That's exactly what I thought. Plus the stitching is a mess - esp. that zipper pull.

Just change your userid to whatevera. hee hee!

They didn't actually say it was Coach. They said "Coach designer Bonnie Cashin." Bonnie Cashin was the first designer for Coach but she was never an employee. She was an independent contractor who also made bags for other brands. We've seen some of the early Coach bags that she designed with only a Bonnie Cashin label. We don't know if there was originally a Coach label or a Coach box, or if one of the ways they enticed her was to give her "top billing." I don't think Coach was involved in the production of this particular bag.

Authentic. The clutch is called turnlock clutch.
