Comments: For some time Ive been looking for a classic, red leather Coach bag (like a Willis or a City Bag) in good condition to rehab and give as a gift - and it hasnt been easy to find! The red ones are rarer than the black and brown bags and they sell fast! Many of the vintage red Coach bags on ebay or bonz are either in poor condition or listed at very high prices.
I made an offer on this one (even though the seller only had 2 rather poor quality pics) because I recently missed out on a red City Bag that sold while I was waiting for a clear pic of the creed.
I studied the listing and reviewed the sellers feedback and the other Coach bags that he had for sale (and I looked at my black City Bag, too!) and I decided to take a chance. It was listed for $80 BIN or OBO; so I offered $50 and was pleased when it was accepted!
I am very happy with the bag and feel that I paid a fair price. The only thing I am not pleased about is that someone has punched an extra hole in the strap so that it can be made shorter. This wasnt mentioned in the listing although it is shown, rather obscurely, in one of the photos. Now I am really glad that I made a lower offer instead of just hitting the BIN button!
Im almost certain that it is genuine, but ever since Hyacinth pointed out spelling errors in the creed of a bag that I had purchased at a Thrift Shop, I just dont feel safe without the TPF blessing!
Please let me know your opinions about authenticity and thanks in advance for all your work. I will attach photos to this message and the next.
