It's a "Pocket Purse" made in 1997. Very nice.

Authentic? The item description says Costa Rica, but the creed states the purse seems to be from the US.

1- genuine Canvas Blecker Satchel

2- probably, I don't have all the old catalogs showing all the various colors available in different years and seasons.

3- Probably Fake -Monterey Flap. I'm really concerned about the April 1996 date code. I've seen other "Montereys" with apparently invalid production codes that otherwise seemed to have all other details correct. The Monterey line wasn't introduced until late 1999 and I doubt very much if that one is genuine. Even allowing for the possibility of a Sample bag there's just too much of a time gap between what the creed claims and what Coach's catalog says.

4- Genuine, but it's impossible to know the exact year, or to even tell the difference among all the various Tan and Brown shades Coach used back then. The catalog colors are almost never the same shade as a bag looks in real life, and I don't have a complete list of years and colors. Even what Coach has called British Tan has changed over the years, and tan shades tend to darken over time.

5- The Convertible Clutch was also available from Coach with a 36-inch strap. If yours is shorter that that it's either been repaired or replaced. I'm not sure if the 36-inch strap was adjustable or not but I doubt it. On early bags through the mid- to late-80s the longer 44-inch strap wasn't adjustable either. The removeable one you mentioned may have been a later replacement.

Thanks! I'm excited about the Saddlery Bag in "RED" and can you believe NO pen marks...yeah! This should clean up very well.

Bummer about the Monterey. Some of the fakes look so good.

I doubled checked on the convertible clutch and the short strap is in fact 36" long & a perfect match to the bag with no evidence of shortening. I'd say this is true to the bag.

Thanks again!

It looks genuine. I think it's a Slim Zip Bag, style 4018 from the 1991 Lightweight Collection.

Thanks so much!

Appreciate your help on this - looks like a 2000 Bleecker Satchel to me:

Concern question: Is the zipper supposed to have contrast stitching as well?

Thank you.

The first two look ok.

The third one worries me. Although it's possible that some plants may have had more than one creed stamp or may have decided to modify or tweak an existing stamp, it's just odd that a photo I have from the same plant, month and year is so different. It's your decision but I can't give you any positive opinion - it may be ok but I personally wouldn't bid on it.

The Court Bag 9870 creed is from a genuine bag, the tan creed is from the Station Bag you asked about. I also have several other creed pics from the same plant but a few months newer and they show exactly the same stamping details as the genuine black bag, I can post those too if you need to see them.
