Ugh! This is yet another example of someone calling Coach and being given misinformation.

I believe this bag is authentic but it's definitely not a Zoe. And it's certainly not from 2002.

Does anyone know the style name?

LOL! This is what she was told by Coach:

I knew nothing about this purse so I called the phone number on the Coach website to ask about it. I spoke with Pamela at 11:15 am on 6/29/11 and verified that this was a real Coach bag. She told me this was a Zoe Hobo style. I asked what year this was from, she told me 2002. I thought it was older, something vintage, lol. But it's not. It's a 2002 style and one of the last made in the US.

Looks like a vintage Basic Bag to me! I have 2 of them in brown and gray:

Thanks. Do you happen to know the style number?

9455 is the style number. I just added pics of mine above. Both of mine are vintage (circa 1980) but the oldest one has a big Talon zipper and the newer one has a slightly smaller YKK zipper. Here are threads with lots of before and after pics of my 2 Basic Bags:

I found a stock pic of the Basic Bag and learned that it was first introduced by Coach in 1974.

Please ID this bag for me. I took as many photos as possible. I have only seen one other like this, but it was in red. But they didn't know the style either lol.
Thanks!

It's an Amanda Hobo from Fall 2001. None of Coach's pictures show any hangtag at all so I can't say what it should have, sorry.

Even more proof, as if we needed any more, that the vast majority of Coach employeees are utterly CLUELESS in authenticating and even identifying older bags. This one didn't even know that a bag where the serial number DOESN'T start with a letter can't be identified using the serial number.

My guess would be somewhere around 1987 from the creed and the double strap.

It looks good to me. Does the wording on the creed say "Costa Rica"? It's hard for me to read.

The name of that bag, style number 9832, is "Turnlock Clutch" and that one was made in 2000.
