You're welcome! On any bag that has an all numeric serial number, the last four digits aren't a style number. Coach didn't start putting style numbers in their bags until 1994, so any bag made before then has a unique serial number that has no relation to the style. Read the Salearea guides for more information: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Coach-Serial-Numbers-the-Basic-Facts-/10000000034886433/g.html

According to some sources, the classic pouch was Coach's very first style.

Could someone please authenticate this Coach Leatherware bag?
The red streak continues at Goodwill...
Approx. 11”w x 10”h x 5”d Strap drop 19”
Shoulder Pouch from the Lightweights Collection #4025, yes?
Any idea of age? I have another one of these that Hyacinth dated from 1988-91...does that apply to this one too?
As always, thanks in advance for any and all info!

As far as I know, only the factory versions came with a long strap. I have a mff Zoe from 2009 that is fantastic quality. I ordered a mff Zoe from FOS last year that was horrible.

This wallet bothers me. The pull looks like Sonoma but the leather isn't pebbled, the stamp says Leatherware but the nylon zipper and the pull suggest a much later date of manufacture. I just want confirmation that it is fake before I report.
seller: collectiblegoodies1956
link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Vinta...t-/261444771101?pt=Wallet&hash=item3cdf529d1d
number: 261444771101

As an aside, can we report this listing for putting a Coach hangtag on another brand? Look at the creed. They copied Coach. I wonder if that was legal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310921357200&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:3160

The wallet from collectiblegoodies1956 doesn't look right to me either. The lozenge imprint is much larger than I can ever recall seeing and the font doesn't look right. I'm not sure I've seen that slot for holding a pen on any wallet. (I've seen them on PDA cases for holding a stylus.)

The same seller also had this listing (ended early) for a fake Coach eyeglass case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-sunglass-case-/261442104041?pt=US_Sunglasses&hash=item3cdf29eae9&nma=true&si=e6Ifl6l%252F2bmjZ8Ne8MmYkWVC1UQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

And she sold this fake:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-fish-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

and

Probably. The font of the serial number is wrong and the magnetic snap isn't stamped correctly. The mag snaps should be stamped almost completely around with the maker's logo and US patent number, like the one below.

Thanks. I suspected as much.

Hey, I actually know a few honest car salesmen!

Actually I do too.. Its a bit of a stereotype
My choice would have been "politician" - Oz must have a better class of public servants than the US. :D

You're kidding? Power corrupts. We've just been through a state and a federal election. Every one is sick of politics and being treated as an idiot by our so called leaders.

Thanks! It is mff. I googled image searched & found a creed pic from the bay & there was an F after the dash. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the color, but it is a fantastic price!
