comment: again, I'm going through, trying to decide what i need to sell. not sure it's authentic -- it has a creed reads "Made in New York City" but no serial number.
Thanks so much

Looks ok to me. Some early bags had creeds but no serial numbers. It's actually called a Courier Pouch.

sorry about that :) It's 15931

Please wait for other opinions on the bag. I can't find any authentic sources of a bag with that style number and color. The only ones I'm seeing are fake-selling websites and that worries me.

I hope someone else might know the style.

Thanks for your help BB :)

A few pages back PickyCoachLover stated:

That price alone raises huge red flags for me. It doesn't have an outlet stamp either...so they did not get it from the outlet. The Gathered MSB's were Coach.com exclusives IIRC, and were not sold in department stores. So, if real, they paid FP. I know I wouldn't sell it for that cheap.

So I guess it's a rarer style. I am curious, as I've only seen absolutely awful looking fakes. Do they actually make fakes this good? It's clearly leather and the quality is just astonishing. I think I am going to take it to the Coach store tomorrow and maybe they might help me?

edited to add: I found one on Bonanza that has already sold. It looks identical to mine imo http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Coach-Madison-Gathered-Leather-Shoulder-Bag-15931-NWT/25266224

1- Wrong, it looks ok from what I can see - style 12961, Inlaid Op Art Large Sabrina. See below

2- probably fake, but I'd like to see better photos of the strap ends and hardware

3- yep, made in China. The seller needs to learn to read the creed before writing the description
Click to expand...
Thanks! I thought the creed looked a bit wonky on the first one. About the last one - what year did Coach start making things in China?

Item: COACH Gorgeous Vintage Periwinkle Blue Crossbody Handbag
Listing number:330676812065
Seller: shekinah737

Comments: Does it look like it says completelt to you? And is that a W in the number?

Thanks!

I believe it does say "completelt" and it does look like a W to me too.

It's fake for those reasons, plus the fact that style number 9927 belongs to the Willis.

:tdown:
