Hello there!
I have three bags I'd like to ID and possibly get a date range. Please click on left and right arrows on the image directly to see all photos.
I feel like one of them is a city bag but not sure what the two are

Also does anyone know the color shade of the Burgundy one?



Thanks!

For IDs of bags with unique serial numbers we need measurements and pictures or descriptions of all details, such as the pockets. The first two might be convertible clutches. It would be helpful to see the bottoms/corners. The last one is probably a city bag. You didn't show a creed for the first one so I can't date it. Depending on when it was made, the color name is probably burgundy. The other two are probably late 80s early 90s. The pictures are very small. They don't enlarge on a PC.

Thank you. I thought I uploaded a creed for the burgundy one but looks like it didn't make its way into the album. Its an NYC bag but still not sure of the date. Thank you so much for your response!!

We can't narrow it down more than mid 70s to late 80s. If it is a convertible clutch, it was made for many years.

8430A105-7778-4CDE-97EA-2AE07745AE94.jpegIs this authentic? Ordered it through instagram shop here in the Philippines (preloved_oneshop02). It is indicated in the caption that it is brand new, and it came with the box and paper bag. But upon opening I became suspicious because it’s very different from my Coach wristlet. Please help me identify if it’s fake so I can tell the seller and have my refund.
 
This looks like a special tag that was attached to Coach men belts at one point. It was not supposed to match the belt color - was the same for all belts. The leather looks and feels a bit different from the one used on bags.
Thanks so much for the tidbit, it brought back an early Coach memory! I have a little bit of info to confirm! In the late 80’s, I was in graduate school outside NYC. I worked part time in a swanky conference center. Coach had just come on my radar during my college years. I had a manager who wore his belt with the hang tag dangling from it. Even then I wanted to say, it’s not a hand bag for crying out loud! The 80’s, good times, you wore your designer status loud and proud. :yes:
So the posts a while back gave me a good chuckle remembering that manager wearing his belt with the hangtag. I recently bought a vintage bag on line with the packet of advertising and care papers. I chuckled again, seeing the belt hang tag as I saw it being worn.20201115_083215.jpg

It looks like the Whitney Satchel, style 9182, from around 2000.

Thank you! I knew I'd seen that design somewhere but only looked in catalogs leading up to 2000 and couldn't find it.

We still can't say if the one that was asked about is genuine though. I think it's unlikely that the style was ever faked, but as long as it's even possible we need to always remind posters that authentication is necessary if the discussion comes down to an actual bag sale or purchase.
 
Hello, I just purchased a Coach Fulton Satchel in Dusty Rose Oxblood from my outlet store. I'm trying to determine if this was made for factory outlet or if it was a retail bag- All indicators point towards retail. However, it does not have a bullseye on the creed and I've found the same bag online listed with an "F" in the s/n....however this one does not have an F. I've also seen it listed online as a Coach 1941 line but I can not authenticate this- Trying to confirm. It did come with the dust bag which leads me to assume it was a retail bag. If it is retail, why is it missed the bullseye? PXL_20201201_004340081.jpg

Is there a made in tag sewn into a seam? If there is, can you take a picture?

I don't know if this style was made for retail or outlet but I do know that Coach wants to make it more difficult to tell factory from retail. I bought an outlet bag about a month ago and there is no F in the style number nor a bullseye, but there is a dot on the made in tag, which indicates made for factory.

Well, I have an additional predicament:. It is a Christmas gift from my husband and he has hidden it! He's too good at hiding gifts for me to EVER be able to find it! I know there was a tag inside the bag and it said "Made in Vietnam". I do not recall a dot on this tag but I will have to wait until Christmas to let you know! It was the ONLY bag I found in the whole store that had a dust bag so I was cautiously optimistic that it was a retail bag. My local outlet also made it rather obvious when you stepped bag and took in the layout of the store: It appeared that they kept the retail bags on a shelf near the registers. They were bags that were all ,"one-offs"...no duplicates, and most of them seemed like they had traveled a great deal- Missing carry straps, odd/mismatched stuffing inside, some had the care instructions in the fancy sleeve, others didn't....which were not within any of the factory outlet bags. Additionally, I did talk to one of the retail associates about retail vs. factory bags. She was rather unwilling to offer additional information to me but she did spill the beans that all of the new factory outlet SNs have only 4 digits after the dash....no more F. The style you purchased with no F, did it have 4 digits after the dash, or 5?

As you can tell, I was on a mission to find a retail bag. I also bought a wallet. I found a dreamer wallet (66615) and, there again- while placed in drawers with other wallets, it was among a group of wallets which there were very few of each color. I actually found 66615 on the coach.com site! It is listed as out of stock....so this MUST be a retail item. It also contained a sleeve and care instruction card which others did not. I feel more confident that this is a retail wallet. https://www.coach.com/coach-dreamer-wallet/66615.html. Any thoughts on this one?
