Hi guys!
I am looking for some help on these 2 bags for a friend of mine.
She is selling them for a friend of hers and would like to know about them a little more before she decides if she keeps them or not,

The Navy bag seems pale but its just the photo.

Also, the little black bag do look like a few ive seen in my catalogs but the serial reads 2525, and I dont have that anywhere in the little I have on my side, her friend said she bought the bag new in about 1980 or 81.

Would anyone have the name or the model? Im pretty sure they are authentic but it never hurts to check!

Thanks and Merry christmas to fellow Coachies :)

I'm not completely sure the first one is genuine. Did your friend ever tell you where she got it?

The plant code N belongs to Mexico, and the second digit looks more like the letter "i" than the number 1. There are some strange stamping marks near the top and bottom of the creed patch, the serial number isn't in my files, and I'd like a better look at the straps and where they attach to the bag. The straps are like the style used for the Equestrian line of bags but the style number doesn't fit the right sequence, the color and the year code don't fit the Equestrian style either. The placement of the serial number is kind of strange too.
 
I don't know the name of this one. It is not from an auction. The serial number is G9082-F13571.

I have a number of photos, really too many to upload here but they are on Photobucket at http://s1095.beta.photobucket.com/user/fvshkatie/library/Coach G9082-F13571

Thanks so much in advance! I appreciate your help and wish everyone here a wonderful holiday season!

It looks ok to me, probably a Hamptons Tote or Satchel of some kind, made in 2009 for the Factory Stores.
 
Thanks Hyacynth and Whateve!

Ive asked for more photos for that 1st bag i posted, ill add them as they come.
She did mention the shoulder strap is wider in the middle than where they attach
Ill post when i get more :)
 
Merry Christmas Hyacinth, BB, DemRam, Noshoepolish, & Whateve!!

Thank you so very much for all that you do!

Thanks!

And we hope everyone who celebrates the holiday has a perfectly wonderful one

and that Santa is good to all of you

and that you find the right person waiting for you under the mistletoe

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts on this one. I have a half tote of purses and they are all different but mostly Coach (one Balenciaga snuck in there!). I'll be posting more after the Christmas is over but I promise not to wear out my welcome.

Have a great holiday season!
 

The stitiching on most Mini-C styles was never perfect, and the plant in Turkey had almost no experience working with Signature fabrics. I don't see any real problems.

And to back me up, here's Coach's actual website photo of the same style. Check the center seam.
