Item: Vintage COACH City Bag Crossbody Messenger Purse Black Leather #9790 made in USA
Listing number:311158887582
Seller: hunterextrordinaire

Comments: I'm pretty sure that this is fine but I just bought it and I want to make sure. My concern is that the spacing on the serial number is off a little and it seems crooked. could it be a very good fake and the seller can't tell? Thanks so much for any replies!

Serial numbers on classic or vintage bags made before 2000 are almost NEVER spaced OR lined up evenly. I'm more suspicious of older bags that have perfectly aligned numbers than I am of those that don't. The City Bag is genuine.

Could someone please authenticate this Coach Leatherware bag?
I don't often shop on ebay...but when I find something this special, well I'm in!
Approx. 8.5"w x 5"h x 1.5"d. Strap drops 18.25" to eyelets.
Is this a late 60's - early 70's predecessor to a Dinky Bag?
I'm guessing the date based on info from our own Tetondeb's ebay guide...thanks, Deb!
Interesting that the front panel under the flap is a textured leather...has BEAD CHAIN stamped on the chain, chain is faceted beads and it has anchors on the dogleash clips...an oldie, but a goodie! A few smudges and ink spots, but remarkable for her age :)
Is it #9375, or was there a different style number?
Any and all info is much appreciated...thanks in advance!

It looks fine to me. Wait for more details from someone more familiar with the vintage styles than I am, like Whateve.

It's authentic. It would be from the mid 70s since it has a creed. Great find! I don't think it was intentional to make the front panel have a different kind of leather. They tried to use the nicest pieces of leather on the parts that would be seen most. I'm pretty sure the style number would be the same. I've never seen a catalog from the early 70s and the few ads I've seen don't have style numbers on them. They might not have been assigning style numbers back then.
