It's an authentic Court Bag. Not so "vintage" though. It's from 2001.

Thanks, DemRam! I wouldn't have been able to tell what year it came from. You ladies are awesome

Fake. The C pattern on the genuine styles with these details was straight across, not angled. The "leather" looks like vinyl.

I think it's trying to be style 11067 but it's not even close, and here's a listing for a real one for comparison:

Thank you, and sorry the images were hard to see/ access

Sorry, I use NoScript and it blocks most Javascript including Ebay.au. Had to change a setting.

The Taylor Zip looks ok.

Thank you Hyacinth!

The first one is a Basic Bag made between the mid to late 1970s, style number 9455. It originally would have come with a wrist-length strap attached to the zipper pull.

The second is the same style but newer, probably early 1980s to 1987, also genuine.

Item: Coach Leatherware(?) purse ivory, made in the United States.
Bought at local thrift store a year or so ago.
My next rehab!

Please authenticate and let me know style name/number and approximate age.
Creed is very faint. I put a flashlight inside and shot with macro. Hope you can read it.

As always, Thanks!

Sorry to be so long answering this post:

It looks like one of the Town Bags from 1989 thru 1991 Lightweight line but without knowing the measurements I can't tell you which one. The regular was about 8x6 and the Large about 12x8.

I am no expert but I thought that the "Cs" are always lined up down the middle then out, and that there will never be partial "Cs" even at edges or seams.

Fake. (Does it look like they used the cheap fake lining fabric for the strip down the middle?)

Don't trade! It's a horrid fake.

I am no expert but I thought that the "Cs" are always lined up down the middle then out, and that there will never be partial "Cs" even at edges or seams.

Note that there are exceptions to the matching and alignment rule.

Regarding "partial Cs," that's not even a sometimes-rule. There will always be Cs that are cut off at seams.

Thanks that is what I figured. After posting it here the seller admitted it was a fake. I was sure it was based on the C's on the lining and the outside. Thanks!

You're very welcome.
