It's a genuine Saddle Bag Spectator from around 1989-1990. I don't have the exact style number, it's probably 6851 but that's just a guess.

Thank you Hyacinth! In the 1990 winter preview catalogue it shows the Saddle Bag as
*NEW* The style as # 9851, but it doesn't show that they were made in the 2 tone spectator colors..
Does anyone know when COACH stopped making SPECTATOR bags in the USA?
Thanks for all your help everyone!!!!:tpfrox:

You're welcome. I saw a license plate today that started with J4K and I immediately thought fake - I've got creeds on the brain!

You're welcome! It is clear and in the 70s here in sunny California.

Turkish leather is beautiful. I'm working on a 2001 made in China bag. The leather is unbelievably soft and smells wonderful!

It is a style they only made for a short time. I fell in love with it since I saw it on the wayback machine about a year ago. In all that time, I've only seen two listed on ebay, so I jumped on it. It is going to need some creative painting to cover up the scuffs and marks.

They used similar colors to make some colorblocked bags last year.

That bag is fake and dbu1987 has a history of selling fakes.

Here's a post from May 9:

And another from May 26 when the same fake was relisted:

http://forum.purseblog.com/coach-shopping/authenticate-this-coach-855067-275.html#post26816328

DO NOT BUY FROM DBU1987.

Hi, everyone, can someone give me info on this purse. Only two pics unfortunately and the creed pic is blurry. The prefix on the serial number is transposed. Is it fake? And is this a Soho Rivington? That style seems to be the only one that continues the seam on the outside pocket. TIA

That's strange. On FF, the listing is coming up as removed. On Safari, I can click the link and it works.

I'll let others comment on authenticity.

It seems ok.

The H plant code has been faked but this doesn't look like one of the bogus ones. Yes, it's a Rivington. But if you're thinking of buying it there's a chance it's been re-stained or re-dyed, I'm seeing some vertical streaks on the front pockets that aren't natural.
