Not at all, if you have information, please post it. I'm basing my guess on the fact that it's not in my catalogs or in the Wayback Machine's archived pages, and usually bags that aren't shown in Coach's records where or when they should be have been outlet bags. The few I found on Ebay all seemed to have outlet stamps as well.

I was able to find Coach's stock pic but it's small. I don't know the actual style name.

Found it, it was Eva Longoria, hope these work!

Looking at the comments below those postings, there were two sizes.

I believe it was just called the 'Chevron Hobo'

It certainly divided opinion on here when it was released! http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/coach-chevron-hobo-love-it-or-hate-it-126447.html

I almost bought it on eBay last year, but changed my mind. I don't like the strap, but love love love the bag part with the suede.
 
This is my first time in any forum.:) I read what you wrote about the lady with the counterfeit willis bag.wow.I would have thought that to be a real one.I had to stop immediately and go check mine. Thank goodness it wasn't like hers.I'm still getting used to the way posts work so in the future I'll take your advice. In the meantime I have one more question:-),can you tell me when my willis handbag was made the serial number is K8P-9927. Thankyou

It was made probably in Costa Rica in October 1998.

The six Salearea Coach Guides posted at Ebay explain creeds, serial numbers, and much much more, I recommend reading them often and Bookmarking them:

Production date on the Chevrons seems to be late 2005.
 
I found this wallet at a thrift store earlier in the week. I'm pretty sure it's real, the leather is very nice! In any case for $5.00 and a lenient return policy I had to buy it. :)

I think it's a Checkbook Wallet in Signature Fabric. The cheque cover is missing but the wallet itself is in decent shape. It was really dusty and a bit grimy so a quick bath fixed it right up. Could you confirm that this is what it is?

I also found this little change purse(?) yesterday at another thrift store for a whopping $0.79! :smile1: There is no creed but the stamp inside says made in Costa Rica and there is a round stamp beside it. She is absolutely filthy so it'll be interesting to see what colour she becomes after bathing.

The dimensions are 4" x 3.35" x 1"

Thanks,

The signature wallet and the belt look good. I'm not familiar with the middle wallet.

thanks:smile1:

That style has been well-faked. A picture of the creed is needed.
