I love how you say it's "used loosely". Can't tell you how annoyed I get on ebay to see Vintage in the title of an auction then see "made in China" inside of it

Coach changed the strap on the Basic Bag some time around the end of the 1980s. The original ones had the double straps.
My sister's birthdy is coming up and she wants this vintage court bag. I found someone selling one, but when i looked inside the serial number is G13-9870. Now, as soon as I found out she wanted a vintage bag, I tried to do a little research on this site and others, and from what I gathered the serial number should start off with a letter, then a number, then another letter, followed by the style number. Does anyone know why it's like this? I know the bag was originally purchased from an outlet- could that be it? Other than the serial number, it looks real to me.
It's called a Whitney Satchel and was made in 1999 but that's the only information I have on it, sorry. Maybe someone else can fill in the blanks.
No, the third digit can be EITHER a number or a letter. The "3" is just a code for one of the Chinese plants. It's not considered vintage since it's only 10 years old and vintage is usually defined in handbags as 20 years or older.
They're BOTH very bad fakes. Coach NEVER made that green multi fabric - I'm getting a headache just looking at it, and both have fake Carriage emblems and the fabric pattern isn't lined up or centered even close to being correct.
I really hope you didn't buy either bag in the photos. Whoever is selling those is a crook and should be reported. Where did you find these photos and bags?
WOW. Thats good to know. No I didn't buy them but I know someone who did...thanks for the info!
If they paid with a credit card, recommend that they file a dispute with the c.c. company.
thanks! I'd imagine with heavy use, the thin strap would wear out, but I do love the feminine look of the thinner strap. I was lucky enough to find a vintage made in New York one, (straps in great shape.) I'm gonna shine her up soon!
