It's a "Demi Turnlock" made in 2000. It looks like it's in good condition.

You might want to check in on one of the "rehab" threads for help in how to begin fixing it up..

The first one has what should be an invalid plant code. The "A" plant was located in what became Coach's corporate offices in the late 1980s but was shut down years before that bag was supposedly made and production shifted to other US and offshore plants. It's barely possible that the bag may have been made by a very small production group still kept in the original location to make preproduction and sample items but there doesn't seem to be any reason why they would have made a one-off Station Bag that was already being produced at their other plants. There's an outlet stamp on it but the stamping isn't very clear and may or may not be counterfeit. There's no way to be sure of the bag's authenticity.

The color of the second one, a Court Bag, is Taupe, and it's lighter than the standard Brown - more like a dark Hot Chocolate shade. It's an unusual color but it was available on the classic bags in 1995 when this one was made

LOL! Thanks! Yeah I do...I have trained him well on whats what! He brings those home to me all the time and he is always so excited! He loves it esp since its such a great deal and its better than having to buy a $500 purse (which he still has to do anyways..haha)! :D
 
Can I suggest that you ask at the main Coach forum about the color of the lining in those specific bags? There's a much bigger group of buyers and collectors there and there's a better chance that some of them may know the answer about the lining colors.

The mint green interior for this bag on Coach.com is for the Gold (metallic) bag.
 
hi, i found there is another bag look exactly the same model.
the code of the bag is L27-6335....

wonder why the front code is different from mine C04J-6335?

which one is authentic?

here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-C...PURSE-BAG-/250841956711?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags

Please read my post about Coach serial numbers:
http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/answers-to-authenticity-questions-94198-3.html#post1944848

The first half are codes showing when and where the bag was made, and identical styles can be made in different months, years and plants.
