Could someone please authenticate this MFF Coach bag?
From GW yesterday...cheap...with no creed, I'm guessing they thought it was fake :)
Approx. 9"w x 6.5"h x 2"d Strap drop 22" to rings...outside pocket on back, inside zipper pocket.
Maybe a Soho Leather Flap Swingpack or something like that? Any idea what year?
I found a solid-colored one on ebay #F45664, but don't know if it's correct for this one.
Any info is always appreciated...thanks in advance!

No idea on authenticity but it looks a lot like this one:

It's authentic and that's the same style on Rakuten.

That is definitely an X for the month code.
I think it is fake. The creed is too puffy and the font and arrangement isn't correct for the G plant, as well as the X month code. Here's a good example of what 1997 G creed looks like.

as we've said many times, just because a seller calls it a cashin purse, that doesn't mean it actually is. i doubt if even 10 percent of coach bags for sale online with "cashin" in the description were actually made while bonnie cashin was designing for coach.

The original design may have been created by cashin but that bag was made years after she left the company, my guess is at least 5 years after but probably more like 10. The skinny tote style was made at least until 1986 and this one definitely looks like it's from very late in the style's production history,

eta - whoops, missed whateve's answer - sorry 'bout that!
gmta! :d

Bag and wallet
I can't read the creed well enough. Is it all numeric? It looks like it starts with "135." If it is all numeric in the format xxxx-xxx, it is probably fine. I'd feel better if I knew the complete number.

Is the set really that purple? I know they made it in navy; not sure about purple. Unusual colors are a warning flag on vintage styles.

I've had the same green mark on creeds before. It is verdigris but it doesn't mean that it is widespread. It is pretty common on bags where the creed is in a pocket behind a turnlock. I don't see any problems with what I can see of the multi-function purse (wallet).
