Without a full photo of the creed and any serial number it's really hard to even figure out a date for it. It's PROBABLY an early version of the Station Bag, but the seller couldn't even be bothered to give measurements. They often had the creed stamps on the front pocket. This would be the Shoulder Pouch Small from around 1983 IF it's genuine. And it would be small, only 6x8 inches.

From a 1983 catalog:

It matches the measurements of the little one. My phone is too long for the pocket but does fit inside the main compartment. So is it from 1983? It is made in NYC.

Any genuine bag with a New York creed would have been made before 1988. There's usually no way to determine the exact date or year. The only way I was able to pin it down to an approximate year is from the catalog pages. And the year is approximate, I don't have a lot of early catalogs.

I'm VERY concerned that what you say is the selling website seems to be using Coach's own copyrighted photos in some of their listings without Coach's permission. Buying bags from a Coach outlet, whether directly or through an Ebay seller, does not give them permission to use Coach's copyrighted photos. Even if they found those photos on the internet, Coach owns all legal rights to the photos and graphics if they were first published on Coach's website.

In the US, the use of a company's photos or website graphics without the written consent of that company is againt the law. It's impossible for me to recommend buying from a seller who violates copyright laws, and since I know that Singapore has a very strong reputation of being a country that is very serious about enforcing their own laws and all international laws, I am surprised that a website would risk a complaint of copyright and trademark violation from Coach LLC. If you had asked us before you bought it, we probably would have recommended that you not buy it just because the seller is violating US laws.

Someone else will have to authenticate the bag, if it's possible to do so, because I don't know enough about newer styles. We need to see photos of the inside of the price tag with all the production numbers and codes. There are also 2 small fabric tags inside the bag that we need to see, along a seam or in the inside of one of the inside pockets. One shows the country where it was made, the other will have several groups of numbers and letters that show the codes for the plant, month and year and the style number. It can be hard to find, and you may have to turn the pockets inside out to find it and photograph it.
