Was this bag authentic?

It looks authentic, however the Apropos little tag looks like from a modern bag, it was sold already when I saw it.

Please wait for DemRam's opinion on this one. I do notice that the black Coach plaque is different from the one I had on my BC bag. However, it's possible/probable that they may have used different logos and fonts. The lining texture and color placement look correct.

The "Apropos" tag looks like one that a store might at to items it sells. A google search found several stores (one in Paso Robles, CA) with that name.

I've seen metal tags that look just like the one on that bag. The style is an earlier version of my beloved 2111 clutch.


Cute bag. Pictured below is a photo of the same bag...the "Patch Pocket" designed by Cashin in 1969. I'm not familiar with the store, but the bag and metal tag look fine.

Thank you!

Probably fake - the zipper ring looks wrong, although the other details are very close. The underside of the top zipper panel shown in the last pic isn't quite right either. There's always a slim chance that the pull could have been replaced though. If it's a fake, it's a really close one.
