Authenticate this COACH

[DemRam]

What I see so far looks OK, but I think we need to see a few additional pictures, when you have time:

1. A picture of the side of the bag that shows the end of the wooden dowel. (Just like you did for the tan bag).

2. A picture with the flap up, that shows the inner zippered pocket AND the zipper pull. (Like you did for the tan bag).

3. A picture similar to the one below that shows the "top handle" shape and stitching.

I don't see anything that looks wrong with your black Willis.

The serial/style number is for a bag made in 1994, and though I don't have a Willis from 1994, I do have a Logan from that year. The creed and the letters/numbers look like the creed on my bag.

You may want to wait for other opinions to be sure.

I don't have a 1994 either but it looks alright to me from the pictures you've posted.

I do believe it's from the old "Soho" (lightweight) collection and the name of style 4150 is the "Fletcher". That one is from 1998.

Looks good!

Awesome, thanks!

I take a gamble on bags as they don't take returns or exchanges. Yay!

I'm guessing in the 1980s? The zipper has Talon written on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It looks good to me. It is the "Duffle Sac", made in New York City in the original Coach factory.

That 7 digit serial number is probably from the later 1970's through the early to mid 1980's. It's impossible to pinpoint the actual year with these random numbers.

Welcome to the Purse Forum.

Edited to add: All of my old Coach bags have Talon zippers, so that's normal for those bags.

Thank you so much for your reply! I figured it was pretty old because some of the features didn't look exactly like my other classic leather bags. I have the smaller version of this bag. I think it's called the Helen Legacy bag? I bought it in 1997 or 1998 from a Coach store. I loved the stores back then. Everything was leather and it smelled wonderful when you walked in! So different than the stores today. This bag here has a single-sided tag, the creed was a bit different than what I've seen and the leather is a bit stiff compared to my others, so when I first got it, I was afraid it might not be authentic. I love your album and thanks for the warm welcome!

It looks fine but I don't know the style name.

Maybe someone else has the style name for #8309. Your bag is from 2001.
