Listing states no creed inside bag. Doesn't look old enough to be creed-less and seems too large as well not to have one. I look forward to an expert's opinion because I have no clue.

Thanks!

Another of the seller's listings is worthy of a peek. She states that the prefix is G2P but the picture shows K4H.

I don't have a picture in my records of the wristlet but I do have the coordinating keychain, style 1674.

I would assume (though not guarantee) that the fish on the wristlet would have been the same. The eye appears to be a sequin with a bead on top.
Awesome close up shots you take!
That looks right, it matches the other sequins on the fish. The bead is still there, no sequin :(
 
Happy Friday everyone.

It's not a Coach. It looks exactly like a Coach style but without a creed, it isn't a Coach. The style was introduced in the mid 90s so it isn't old enough not to have a creed. It looks like a very good copy.

That one looks fake to me. Not only does it not have the distinctive font and spacing for the H plant, but it says it was made in China in 1994. Coach wasn't making items in China then and the H plant was in the US. A 1994 creed would have the old wording. The pocket zipper appears to be nylon, which wouldn't have been used in 1994.

Even if the plant made a mistake and it was really made in 2004, I've never known H to be used for a China plant.
 
Hi again! I acquired this today while out with my baby. It was in a vintage shop that just opened a month ago. I was walking by and it was on an outdoor stand rack and I got it for a song! So, can anyone tell me about this? It looks to be a feedbag but I'm not sure. The number is G8P-9060. 13Lx11.5Hx4.5W Strap 19.5 approx. Made in Costa Rica. Could someone authenticate? Thanks!http://s74.photobucket.com/user/nightfox32/library/Coach 9060

Also, is this a good deal? I love midnight blue!

Thanks in advance!
The bag is an authentic Legacy West Hobo. I'm not sure about the color. It looks black but it could be navy. Coach didn't have a midnight blue color at the time that I know of.

If it is authentic, it is a large slim duffle. I can't authenticate as I can't read the creed.

Thanks so much, whateve! Midnight blue/black/navy? What's in a name, right? I've learned to distrust specific descriptions of color. If I were feeling poetic, midnight blue would fit the bill, but DH would probably simply say dark blue or navy... Anyway, authentication is MUCH appreciated. Thank you!

yeah I was having a hard time getting a clear pic of the creed when photographing it. My camera was giving me grief. I'll try again to get a good pic of the creed. Also, can I dunk this one because it feels like it has a hard bottom.

I dunked the smaller version of this bag without a problem. Whatever they reinforced it with survived the bath just fine. I think it is just stiff leather.
