Hi would you please authenticate this bag I purchased from a coworker? It's about 11.5" x 7.5" x 3.5" Thank you

It looks good.

Genuine Crescent Bag style 9235 probably from the late 1980s or around 1992. The 1970-1979 date in the seller's listing is too early.

Thank you so much!

Nice! One of the Mystery Blues from the mid-2000 decade made for the outlets, and it has the white contrast stitching too.

I don't suppose there's a price tag tucked into one of the pockets showing the color name? THAT would be the cherry on the hot fudge sundae!

Oh I will have to check, its in my workshop. Might be in the pocket. I have been calling in Royal Blue, but I have been searching for a list of blue Coach from the later styles. I seen Indigo blue. But I am not sure it is the seller calling it that or if its Coach.

Your grandfather had amazing taste!

It's authentic. If you buy the bag, I don't think you need to say anything about the tag. Otherwise, you could send the seller a friendly note telling her that the price tag is for a different bag. You can explain how the description on the tag doesn't match the bag and the style number doesn't either. The Bleecker sold for $258 in 2000.

9309 is a smaller bag and doesn't have the outside pocket.

Much appreciated, whatev!

It was just called a Backpack. From the April 2000 webpage:

We've never found an official list of the more unusual colors in "classic" leather styles made between 2003 and 2007 in China for the Factory Stores anywhere including on Coach's website. The only potential source would probably be if a bag still had the original price tag. There may have been several different blue shades too maybe depending on the year. My 2004 Willis from the same release didn't have contrast stitching, and I would describe the color as Light Denim, Wedgewood or Federal Blue but I've ever been able to confirm any of those names, they're just what I've seen that shade of blue called someplace else. It isn't what I'd call Royal Blue. And some posters have what looks like a more aqua shade of blue, like what Coach back then called Pool or Mineral.

I think my 2004 Costa Rican Janice is the same blue as your Willis. My aqua like Rambler's Legacy was made in 2005 in China. The leather isn't very nice.

Is this a coach purse? There isn't any kind of tag inside with a serial number of any kind..
Thanks

I believe I'm the only authenticator who rarely makes exceptions to my decision not to authenticate for or promote Poshmark, Avoiding disclosing where a listing is posted as a way to circumvent doesn't go over well (with me)!

Since you've found posts that indicate problems with Poshmark, I needn't go into my reasons but suffice it to say that there are many valid concerns and cases of buyers, sellers and innocent Poshmark users getting shafted there.

I will finally add that if someone else chooses to comment on the listing, a brighter and clearer picture of the creed is needed.

Why does the forum allow for some and not others? This Poshmark seller lauds that it was authenticated here.
