It looks ok, called a Neo Mailbag. The New Collections 1998 catalog shows that one and the Neo Cabin Bag 6398 with exactly the same front plaque including the EBA prefix, which I can see if I enlarge the Cabin Bag photo. The inside creed is definitely genuine.

Here's the front plaque on the Neo Cabin Bag in the catalog. It's not very clear but it does say EBA, and I have NO idea why.

Thanks. I am at work so I can't look up anything in the cheater's catalogue (I wish he had more years in it though).

Yep, and I wish he would have copied more accessories.

My collection has some newer catalogs up to around 2007, and a scattering of older ones back to 1985 (maybe one per year, but back then Coach only added maybe one or two new bags per year so that's just about the right mix) but I don't have a scanner. :nogood:
 
I have a scanner but not the time. When I went to open the files the other day to look for that tote, they opened up in Paperport.


I have some (most) of the ones from 2006 until the Poppy Collection (and duplicates so I could take them apart) and some before that.

Thanks a lot Hyacinth. Both leather hobo & Signature Carly was sent with dust bags which make me suspicious of fake items. May be I haven't come across that kind of coach dust bag. Anyway thanks to the expert.

This looks like an authentic dust bag. Coach has made dust bags in several colors and variations.
 
Re catalogs/
If you all ever would consider a volunteer for scanning your catalogs etc, I'd be glad to do it - my professional background includes about 15 years working in document management.. in other words, I have scanned (literally) pallets of legal documents, catalogs, 50 years of guestbooks from a hotel, blueprints & art.. and just plain paper/ephemera.

I've sworn I'd never do it again as a job, but would absolutely be pleased to donate my services to help pay forward all of the help you all have given me over the years.
I have the equipment.
Could make them searchable as well.. pdfs would be my recommendation

DM me if you think I might be of help on this, probably an after holiday project, but would be pleased to assist.
 
Here's a Willis found today in the wild (thrift store), I think it is okay but would appreciate expert eyes to reassure me it is authentic.
Black Willis
In my possession
Thanks in advance!
