AUTHENTICATE this COACH!

[Hyacinth]

Hi,
I'm new to the forum... I recently found this black leather coach and in all my research I can't seem to figure out what style it might be. The serial is from the days where the serial does not mean anything (or so I think)
Any assistance in identifying this purse would be appreciated!

Can you post the bag's measurements, please? It would be a big help.

Thanks, and welcome to tPF!

I have that exact creed in my files. Apparently that is what the 2011 Stewardess creeds looked like. The pictures of the rest of the bag are too bad to see anything.

It's an authentic Becket zip #9920 from the early 90s.

Thanks, whateve!

Looks like a Becket Zip, style 9920 from 1993. I think you and Coach aren't measuring it the same way.

Thanks, Hyacinth! Yeah, my numbers were a little off...I measured the height from the middle...and there was a little tequila involved...LOL Thanks for the catalog pic, too!

Oh wow. Thanks Whateve.

How can they say the Stewardess is 'limited edition' when it's been around since 1997? Another Coach foible.

Hi ladies, could you please authenticate this bag? I've requested a clearer picture of the creed but the seller hasn't responded and the auction is ending soon. Am hoping the partial creed picture is enough to authenticate. Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing a B for the factory code. It might be a P and it is a trick of the angle. If it is a P, the bag is probably authentic.

Thank you for your time.

Gorgeous. It looks to be an authentic twill convertible clutch. I'm going to guess that the style number might be 8635.

Thanks Hyacinth! Great idea with the eyeshadow.
Should I use a light color ?

Hyacinth, as usual your instincts are spot on!!
I did the eye shadow thing and found the horrifying "SCRTCHES" in the creed.
So this one goes on the pile of sheeet I have!

(And the British Tan Station bag that I could not read the creed on (post #6173) but you said seemed
genuine ..did the eye shadow thing on that and voila...C5D-5130 appeared! )

THANKS MUCH!!

You're welcome! Congratulations! It's a gorgeous bag, and getting the matching wallet too is a fantastic bonus.

It got even better! The seller just messaged me that she actually found the strap!
Now I am really stoked
