Found this Coach Bleeker tote with an extra little addition under the inner zip pocket flap. Bontex is a company that makes a product called Mori-Fresh that prevents mold and fungi type of growths in leather goods.
Darn, I was going to grow mushrooms in this one!!!;)

Well, at least the Bleeker Bucket is genuine, you'll have to supply your own mushrooms. :D

Actually if someone lives in a damp climate those sheets would probably be a big help.

Also, the one that I just purchased came today. It looks fake to me on the outside, although I notice no major problems with the creed. Help?

Ooo, really? I thought for sure the one I purchased was fake, the two halves of the fabric on the back don't match up at all. I know there are always exceptions to the "authenticity rules" though...

I'm entering the Creed # and not having any other bags come up with this # online, but it sure looks and feels real, and I assume it should be from 1994?

It's distinguishing features are the side panels are narrower at bottom, then widen as it goes up to the top of the bag, then the strap starts wide and gets narrower again at the apex where the shoulder should be. I see styles like this on ebay all the time, but again, the creed # mystery happens.

Dimensions at widest are 10.5" wide, about 10.5 tall, and 5" deep at bottom. Strap drop as pictured is about 18" (crossbody) Creed # says C4C-4128 but is hard to read. Thanks for your help!

It's a Boulevard Bag from the Manhattan Collection made in 1994.

OH thank you! Rarely when entering creed #'s do I receive NO HITS besides the horrid fakes I kept looking at. I assumed mine looked more real than theirs ;) I wonder if that means this particular bag is rare?

It's fairly rare, and older bags don't show up on the Internet much. Don't forget, Google only started somewhere around 1999. And if something was never posted on the internet, Google isn't going to find it. Don't ever depend on Google as an authentication tool.

Help please!

Item: COACH Navy Leather City Bag with Turnlock Flap
Listing number: 270806161655
Seller: judithlnj
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Navy-...655?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3f0d4e18f7

Comments: I'm interested in rehabbing but can't be sure that this is authentic. Also, would I be able to get the wrinkles out? Any help is greatly appreciated!

First of all, the strap looks like it's been marked or maybe damaged a bit from wear, you might want to ask if there's any damage. And I hope those are just wrinkles, and not stretched leather.

The bag is genuine but I don't know what a bath and rehab will do for the wrinkles, you need other opinions about that.

Thanks, I'll definitely ask about the damage!
