Don't know why I'm looking at a white bag when we just got nailed with another 5 inches of snow;-(

Just that it's genuine and was probably called an Eyelet something-or-other.

(And that white suede is impossible to get or keep clean, but you already knew that)

Thanks Hyacinth, for bringing me back to reality.

It looks fake...there's the tell tell border around the serial and the dreaded J8H. The model is actually correct for the #520 "Travel Backpack" though so wait for others to respond....curious too!

What also worries me is that Coach probably would have used 0520 as the style number, although they might have been as inconsistant about that as they were about everything else. Without having any photos of a genuine one to compare to, all I can go by is the creed and serial number, and I agree with Tetondeb, it's a wonky prefix and that all-around stamping impression just isn't right.

It also worries me that several style 529s from the same time period used a different creed wording but I don't know if it was because the two styles actually were made of differently-processed leathers. There's a "D8B-529A" here - and I don't remember an A at the end of a late-1990s handbag or travel bag serial before, does anyone else? - that says "...handcrafted in the United States of lightweight and durable weather resistant glove-tanned cowhide that is specially treated to withstand the rigors of travel". The 520 on Etsy just has the "variations in the grain" creed. (It doesn't help that I don't have much confidence in the seller of the "-529A" backpack either!)

I'd definitely avoid the one on Etsy just because of the creed. And the 1998 H plant creeds that seem genuine all have that slightly larger and misaligned H, not the one in the Etsy listing. But except for that it's totally understandable how anyone would think it's genuine, and I hate to report a seller for a fake when there's no way she could have known unless she's one of the hundred or so people who checks the Fakes Lists.

Hey, what are friends for?

Hi, I was just checking back a couple of pages and it looks like designerdesire never got an answer to her two posts ( 2525 and 2573) regarding a newer bag. Wasn't sure if there is someone who can answer for the newer styles. Thanks.

BUMP !!!

(Sorry, I don't know diddley about either of those styles)

Hyacinth,
Debi found this catalog photo of a "520' so would that make a difference?

I just know a mucky puppy will jump on me if I buy that bag! I can't seem to use the smilies anymore. well I think I fixed that, maybe too muH?

 

[Spoiledlttleldy]

It might be ok, but can you live with a "BAM" monogram on the front?

Not to go off-topic, but I'll bet Emeril Legasse's wife would love it.

Hi everyone! Not usually a Coach poster, but been on the forum for a long time. My mom indicated she wanted this purse and her 50th is coming up in a few days so I got it for her! Could you please help me to authenticate? Thanks so much for this invaluable service!

I apologize for the delay in my response. I'll blame it on a senior moment. I thought I'd answered.

The bag looks fine.

I found this awesome wallet at a thrift store, but I've not any experience with Coach wallets. it looks like super smooth, fine leather and it has a metal zipper. no creed?

It looks good.

It's a Tanner (style) bag and Tanners don't have creeds.
