It seems to be ok from what I can see but I can't figure out what style it is without more pics and measurements.

Thank you! I added additional pictures and provided some measurements. Let me know if it helps, or if I can be more specific in any way!

Item: Leather Bleeker tote (not sure on color)?
Seller: Savers
Item number: NA
Link: NA
Comments: On a roll at savers this week. I saw this listed on ebay as a bleeker tote but I am not sure if that is its name. (Obviously it is not vintage as some on ebay claim.) I would love to know what color this is. Thanks!

Thanks for the extra information. It's called a Swagger, style # 9820, from some time around 1988-89.

Item: COACH City bag, handbag, Purse Black leather Style #9790
Listing: 190728193244
Seller: cduffin27
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-City-...244?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item2c684944dc

Comments: The creed on this bag looks strange to me. I'm no expert so maybe someone could authenticate. Thanks in advance!

Also if I may ask a couple questions. I've been seeing some older bags that have a dot rather than the _ below the "No." on some creeds. Does that mean a possible fake or does Coach do that sometimes. Also some where the words "full-grain" or "glove-tanned" are broken up. For instance "full-" is on one line and "grained" the next. Is that reason to question the authenticity of a bag or has Coach done that sometimes?all were on older classic type bags. I've looked at the fake numbers list here but I didn't see info on this. Thanks for your help.

At one time or another Coach has done ALL of the above. They change details constantly and you can never think that because details in two unrelated bags are different, that one might be fake.

Even breaking up hypenated words between two lines has been done in some newer bags although usually not in older ones. And the bag in the photos you posted is ok.

There are no hard and fast "rules" with Coach. Any rules they make get broken within a year or two.

Oh wow! Thank you Hyacinth! I suppose there are differences in the creeds of the same style bag that was made in different years or locations too then? Guess you can count on me coming here for help a lot! LOL! I don't know how you can keep all of that wealth of information straight. I am just trying to absorb a few things and still am as lost as a goose in a snowstorm! :-/

Yep, the only times you can reasonably expect creeds to be identical is in bags of the same style made in the same plant, month and year.
