I'm pretty good 40-50s and late 60s to early 80s. Not partial to the pure Bonnie designs of the 60s so I'm not as familiar with them. The 70s are definitely my "thing". I leave the late 80s and on to you guys! I guess I have the advantage of running things by Jed and those guys first. There's just so many experimental bags that came out in that time that it's tricky. I tell people that Coach was the Taco Bell of bags in the 70s. They took a burrito and wrapped it in a taco and gave it a new name then added guacamole and had something else! This bag had all the markers of one of those designs.

Hi,
Can anyone please authenticate this bag on ebay?
Item: Vintage Dark Brown Coach Messenger Bag Purse
Listing number:201074080162
Seller: melissam1307

Thanks
The dark brown bag had been verified authentic, but i found another similar red bag with a completely different serial number: http://m.ebay.com.sg/itm/251509642449?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE. Im so confused. Is one of this bags fake ? Or just a coding issue ?
On bags made in the last 20 years beginning in 1994, The serial number was made of codes showing where and when it was made and the style number, so two bags of the same style might have the same number or very different numbers depending on when and where they were made. The only thing that matters is that all the codes are correct for that particular style.
There's a lot here about serial numbers and how to interpret them. It may be a bit confusing especially if it has to be translated from English but any time you aren't sure if a serial number is right, always ask here.

I don't think this one is a case of a "newer" vs. older serial number.
In this case, the reason for the completely different serial numbers is because they're different styles.
The brown bag is style 9082 (made in 2000) and the red one is style 9134 (made in 1996.)
Note that the seller of the red bag, pursegirl214, mixes fakes and authentic and was discussed earlier this week:

I don't see any obvious problems but a picture (legible) of the creed would be helpful.
Not an authentication question but more of a "when was this bag made?" question.
I broke down and bought (won an auction) for this cute pebbled satchel which I think is a Chelsea? Anyone know when this bag came out? I know Coach makes a ton of different styles but I'm amazed how many ebay sellers don't put in the name of the bag they're selling.
Maybe they don't know the name?
Anyway, thanks for the help............and happy Saturday!
