The one I got in the plain white box is the yellow fur chick #93122. I got it at the outlet. They usually remove the tags and put them on racks before they sell them. I picked one off the rack. I think the SA was using the box to get the style number and she asked me if I wanted the one in the box.

I wonder if they put the furry ones in individual boxes for shipping to keep the fur from being matted.

That sounds logical.

Fake. The stitiching all over is really bad, take a look at all the close-up photos. The "pillow" on the leather turnlock tab is the wrong shape, the stitching on the strap looks too light, and the E code was only used for Italy.

Thank you! I suspected it was fake but I wanted to make sure. I noticed the bad stitching but I overlooked the shape of the pillow. I just compared it to my Willis and now I can see the difference.

I bought this blue Saddle Bag ages ago, and I LOVE it, but upon recently dragging it out, I'm realizing it's authenticity is about to go down in flames isn't it? It's about a perfect match when put side by side with my black one (which I believe to be real but maybe I'd best check it also asap in a thread to follow this) The Dimensions are : 10"W x 9.5" H thru center x 3"D with Strap drop of 22"

So that pesky letter "S" is a problem, isn't it? :nogood:

Even the grommets are the same on each bag

I have so many authentic bags with faded brass on the grommets and/or replacement straps that I am not sure how one uses that as a guide!!

It's a genuine Companion Flap bag made in 2000.

I don't think you can use them as a guide, that's why knowing about serial numbers and when styles were made is so important.

This one's fake. Style 9988 was a Saddle Bag, and it wasn't intorduced until Spring 1997. The serial number in this one shows 1994. The wavy inside zipper is a bad sign too, Coach would never release a bag for sale with a wonky zipper. Actually, both fake Saddle Bags have wavy inside zippers.

That's a highly faked style and so far you've found at least two of them - the one in your previous post is fake too. "S" is never a valid month code. And the "elephant-skin" creases at the top and all over the flap of the bag are always a red flag.

Again, use the Salearea Guides to analyze serial number codes, and ask here before bidding.
