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!

It's about 12 inches wide by 10 inches tall with the depth about 2 inches. The strap drops about 20 inches.

It looks like a Town Bag Large from the Lightweight line, made around 1990

I'm not that familiar with the backpacks but they look fine to me. More opinions are welcome. There is nothing wrong with the Madison Royalton. It was made before 1994 so it has a unique serial number. More information about serial numbers can be found here: The color is might be Mandarin.

Thank you whateve. I am not sure whether it is maple or mandarin.

Hi. I see the following listing on eBay and I don't see how it could be authentic. Can you please check it out and if it needs to be reported I will do so.


Item: Coach Madison Gathered Leather Lg Sophia Satchel Grey Handbag, EXC. pre-owned
Listing number:281409642946
Seller: rwexpress
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Madis...946?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item41855261c2
Comments: this is listed as a Large Sophia - the pictures are not good but the style looks more like an Abigail. Says it was made in USA - creed looks bad.

Hyacinth, as usual your instincts are spot on!!

THANK YOU!

The eyeshadow trick is good. Also it is difficult to see the creed because that portion of the leather is wrinkled or grained compared to the outside. Does anybody know if Coach used different types of leather on the inner parts of these older bags as I have seen this grainy appearance before on these classic styles?

Yes it's fake. You can report it. The number is on the fakes list and there are a thousand other things wrong with it.

Ok wonderful ladies how about this one?

Coach Bleeker Satchel
I own

The Creed serial number: No BIN (or B1N) 9303

Link:








Measurements: 7 3/4" tall 11 " length 4 3/4 Depth 5" strap drop

The leather in this one seems pretty hard and stiff - my leather conditioner hasn't really made much of a difference. Is this normal for this style bag?
