It's genuine but I don't have a name or date, probably something like Signature Accordion Wallet, and maybe from around 2004 give or take a year either way. More opinions are welcome.

Hello! First off, sorry, no photos. I saw this purse in a local thrift store and didn't have my phone with me. It was a stewardess purse, kinda heavy, thick leather, brass feet and buckles. The buckles had 'solid brass usa' on the under side. The shoulder strap looked as it should(I had a stewardess once) and all stitching looked good. I was sold until I looked under the hood at the patch. It had the same paragraph as other bags from that era and underneath that it said 'Made in New York City, U.S.A.'.....but no number, so I left it. (They don't take returns and it was $40.00.) One more thing, the zipper on the inside pocket wasn't one I recognized, it looked like it started with a W and then maybe an i? If this is a fake, it's well made out of nice thick leather. Were any of the stewardesses made during a time of no numbers? If there were I can go back and get it Monday morning. Thank you! Suzanne

It was introduced in 1977 and although I can't find any definite dates for when Coach wasn't yet using registration numbers, from other vintage bags we've seen here it's totally possible that some early Stewardesses didn't have numbers. We've seen apparently valid dates for the stick-on numbers for 1980 so a slightly older bag with no numbers wouldn't be surprising.
Maybe DemRam has more information about the zipper manufacturer. Over the years they've used at least 6 different zipper brands, she may know which one that is.
Thanks Hyacinth! I'll wait and see what she says. They're not open on Sundays so nobody will beat me to it if I want to go back and get it.
Not a problem, thank you for the help! Unfortunately the seller just confirmed that the bag does not have the hangtag, so I am back requesting help for two more bags, sorry for the monotony, but any help authenticating would be appreciated!! Does anyone know if Coach will replace hangtags from second-hand purchases?

Comments: I have never seen the "made in the united states" text under the creed text for this bag, however I definitely don't have the experience to tell what this means.

The first one's a total fake. Both the month and plant codes are invalid, and the creed is not the one that would have been used in the year 2001 which is when the year code indicates it was made. Please report it as fake if you can.
The second one seems ok.

They all seem ok. I'd like to see a creed photo of the last one but the rest of the details look ok.
Thanks Hyacinth. I've placed my bids accordingly. However, I'm going to pass on item #4 with the missing creed.
Below is another item I purchased instead, which looks real, but please confirm.

Hello,
This is my first posting so I hope I am doing it right. From everything I have read, it appears this purse is authentic. However, I still need some experts to verify that it is
The serial no. is L0693-F08A09
The lining is coach monogram which I read goes with the leather bags.
Please help me authenticate! Thanks in advance!

We need to actually see a readable photo of the creed patch and serial number. Thanks!
