You're right, it was made in 1998. The actual style goes back to at least the early or mid-1970s but that particular one doesn't. It looks genuine but technically it's not even close to Vintage.

Could you help me to authenticate this Coach? I found it during thrifting and never seen one without it's creed.
Very early Coaches from the 70s and earlier usually didn't have creeds, just a small Coach stamp or plaque. I don't see any problems with it, but we need measurements if you want us to try and identify it.
So, you said it is probably from the early 70's? Oh and thank you so much for authenticating, now I will clean it.

It could be almost any time in the 70s, there aren't any dependable dates for when each kind of stamp or emblem was used. The style itself is called "the original Coach bag" and was introduced sometime around 1969-1970.
Is this bag real? It has 5 hours left, no bids! I was thinking lack of bigs was due to the mispelling of poppy, but maybe its fake?

All of the hardware everywhere is a nice BRASS- consistently.
I've had iffy luck with this type of bag before. If this bag is real, it's amazingly CLEAN for being nearly 20 years old.

Comments: The seller says it doesn't say Coach anywhere inside the bag. The hangtag isn't one of the old ones. Someone could have just put a hangtag on a no-name bag and called it Coach. The station bag design, which this seems to be copying, didn't come out until the early 80's, when creeds were used. Can this be reported as fake?

I don't think so. The only Coach logo is on the hangtag, and copying a style isn't a copyright violation. And there's no proof that it ISN'T an early Coach either.
