It's authentic but I didn't answer because I didn't know the same of the style.

I was hoping @whateve or @Hyacinth might know the name, thus saving me a post!

Thanks @BeenBurned. Sorry, I can get that later. I just wanted to buy it now. I think it is a Plaza bag. I love the color.

Looks like a plaza bag to me too! The catalog pic was just posted recently in the vintage Chat thread.

Correction: in the ID this Coach thread.

Comments: I read in another post that the stitching on the leather pieces that support the feet should be sewn in with smaller stitches than around the edge of the base of the bag. Mine has same-ish sized stitching, so now I’m concerned. Nothing else seems to alarm me, but I’ve been duped before... It took me a long time to get this bag and I would be mortified if it turned out to be fake

Comments: Please authenticate these Coach keychains. TIA.

If you're interested in a bit of additional info, I can help with style number of one of those without it. (Sorry, can't help with the other 2.)

3. The studded love charm is style 92548.

And I have the numbers of the last 2. The Studded Peace Charm is 92546, and the Heart Star Flower Spinner with multicolor metals is 92603.

(I actually had my photos and the numbers of the last 3 put aside and then Opera decided to crash. I wasn't in the mood to look them up again once everything else was recovered. Sorry!)

Yep, Plaza Bag (Standard, not the Large), number 9860

Good Morning @Hyacinth. Thanks for the confirmation. What is the style number for the large size?

Thank you!

The Large is 9865, and measures about 11x8 inches

Thank you! I’ll be looking for one.

 

[Hyacinth]

Thank you! I’ll be looking for one.

Here are the catalog pages for both. If there aren't any measurements in a listing you can eyeball the proportions of the front flap compared to the turnlock, the Large's turnlock is smaller in comparison to the flap. That might be the only way to tell which is which.

Wait for @houseof999 or someone else who has this bag to comment on it.

This is something we've said countless times. When making comparisons on how something is supposed to be (whether stitching, fonts or another detail), you need to compare apples to apples.

So your concern with the stitch size on the leather pieces supporting the feet may not be valid on this style. My comments were made for style number 22922 and may not apply to style 10976. (I checked the 2 completed listings as well as a Japanese listing for the style and they do seem to have stitching as shown on your bag.)

Haha. I was all set to come in here and ask you experts if the purse I just picked up for $3 was legit.

But then look what I found inside! If this is a fake, the forgers are really going to new extremes to fool us.

We need to see the actual creed and serial number.

We still need to see a readable photo of the creed and serial number.

As a lot of buyers of newer bags have found out to their cost, care cards and other paperwork CAN be faked, or switched from one bag to another. In the last 15 years or so we've seen literally thousands of fake bags with counterfeit cards or paperwork. Even if this one is genuine, and we don't know yet that it IS, do you think a few pieces of paper or even a receipt can EVER prove authenticity? Read the Salearea Guides.
