They all look good. I would ask on some of them whether they are smoke-free and also asked about the condition of the side edges of the back exterior pocket. Sometimes they come loose there.

I didn't pay attention to whether they all had hang tags. No bigger for most people.

The measurements are important. The Lexington isn't as deep as the 0544. Check the width and the height. make sure your laptop will fit if you have a laptop. if it's for an iPad they should all work fine. the 0544 can be a bit clunky. Color - brown tends not to be a big seller. British Tan or black are nice - watch for coffee spills on Br Tan (ask about them).

Sorry I did not respond earlier. Been working a lot of OT.

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to authenticate these for me. :hbeat: It makes me feel so much better about buying a bag second hand.

I think I am going to purchase #1 and #3.

Before I do I would love to know out of these five which one you would purchase? Are any of these more valuable than the others because of the style or where it was made?

Again, thank you so much! :yahoo:

I think it may be ok, but the creed is slightly different than what I have on file. There's just enough of a difference that I'd keep on looking. There are always plenty of Willis Bags to choose from.

Good advice, I will keep looking. I admit I am always looking for reasonable shipping costs! Sometimes the shipping (to Canada) is more than the item, which never sits well with me.

No, if you click on the photo it will enlarge and show the Ks very clearly. It's the Standard Madison Satchel, style 9725 and probably from 1988.

Hi Ladies, Could someone authenticate this bag for me? It looks good except the creed shows a 5 in the month code and a c in the year code. Could it be a legitimate error? Thanks

It's a legitimate mistake that sometimes happened in non-US bags in the mid 1990s and is also mentioned in one of the Salearea Guides;

I've looked through my catalogs going back to 1985 and can't find anything that looks like this, or that has any of the same design details, including the shape of the flap, the rectangular "pillow" on the flap that seems pretty sloppy at the base, the way the corners are sewn, the zipper pull on the coin pocket, the snap, or the edges of the credit card holders which should be stitched on older wallets and heat-sealed on newer ones.

The ONLY thing that connects it to Coach is the stamp and those are easy to fake.

It's a genuine Colebrooke Case but it's NOT a full size brief. The measurements are only about 13x11 so it's 3 to 4 inches shorter than the standard size. Please make sure that's the size you want before you bid. The seller should have given measurements in their listing.

Here's a copy of Coach's description:
