ITEM: Coach Leather Vintage Bag*Messenger/Logan Style*0238342
ITEM NUMBER: 330580688197
SELLER: jdcurtisakavintageking
LINK: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Coach-Leather-Vi...197?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item4cf824fd45
COMMENT: This might be a dumb question but I see this bag has a bullet on it meaning it was from an outlet. Did they have outlets in the 70's/80's like they say the bag was made? Is it a bag made at a later date? I'm confused :| It looks good to me though as far as it being real and I love the shape and colour just confused over the bullet?

Most sellers are clueless as to when their bags were actually made. That form of serial number wasn't even used until about 1989 and the Logan Bag didn't come out until Fall 1992. Don't depend on sellers' descriptions or guesses as to when something was made or who designed or made it.

Thank you :) I was assuming it was made at a later date. I have my eye on that one will see how high it goes. I'm trying to not bid on things on ebay right now because of the whole Canada Post thing but if I find something I just can't resist I will message the seller and see what we can work out since I know USPS isn't accepting packages to Canada :(

I know this is legit because it's from Salearea but I need help identifying what kind of bag it is? I am so in love with the shape! Were there more made like this in different colours? I am on the hunt for the perfect red bag so I am very sad this one is british tan!

It's called a Cooper Zip and probably came out some time in 1992. Quite a lot of colors were available, if you're patient you'll probably find a few.

Thank you :) This strike is keeping me patient and probably saving me a lot of money LOL I guess if people on ebay have that bag they don't know the name because nothing comes up in a search oh well always nice to know the name of a bag :)

Ooops, sorry, I don't know how I missed your question!

Yes, it's genuine. The Watson is from 2000.

Comparing it to the others for sale on Ebay, I can't really see any problems. It looks like the same style had been made for the Factory Stores for at least 3 years in a row, all from different plants. Those Soho Sig and Mini Sig styles are usually pretty lightweight and it is called a "Soft Duffle" by Coach so some of the things you're concerned with are part of the design of the bag itself. There aren't any signs of it being fake that I can see.
