My friend has asked me to identify this bag for her...I am pretty sure it is an older piece since the leather seems to be a vachetta with some darkening, and I estimated the original price at $198-228. Can anyone verify and give more information or an item name? Thanks!

We always prefer to have a clear photo of the creed patch, so if you can post one, that would be great.

The style LOOKS like a Signature Demi but that style has frequently been faked - the creed photo also helps us see if it's genuine or not.

I guess I should clarify...she is not wanting it authenticated, just curious as to the style name and what the price would have been. Based on the leather and signature pattern, I am guessing this is from at least several years ago before the Poppy line.

We believe that unless something's authentic, it doesn't have or deserve a Coach name and it wouldn't have a Coach price or value either. And if we had a photo of the creed and serial number we could also tell you the year it was made.

If something's counterfeit, it's nameless and worthless. I hope you understand the reasoning behind that.
We aren't trying to give you a hard time but this is one style that has been frequently faked and some of the fakes are pretty darned "good."

Single pictures aren't enough to authenticate and in offering the information you're requesting, we would be implying authenticity.

Again, a photo of the creed would be very helpful. We can give you the name of the style and when it was made.

This is an example of why more pictures are necessary. The following listing looks very much like your bag. This listing is a fake:

purchased this at the outlet about a year ago or a little longer - I know it's a MFF bleeker checkbook wallet - anybody know the style # or color name? I have misplaced the tags & receipt, I'm usually really good about filing those away.

I understand. If I had the bag in my possession I could post more photos. But it is not my bag. A friend of mine who is out of state purchased it at a garage sale and was asking me if I knew what it was, but this is the only photo she sent.
 
Heritage line, no?

It's exactly as Hyacinth said.

I own this bag as well, actually, or something that looks very similar to it. I just purchased it at the outlet store in Woodburn. My camera is terrible and won't let me get a clear shot of the inside serial number, but mine says E1194-F17881. Is this the same bag?
 
Creed pictures are difficult, make sure that you are using the macro feature on your camera (it is usally indicated by an icon that looks like a tulip or other flower.)

Another trick is to dust the creed with light colored eye shadow to make the writing stand out. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! I'll try to sneak in a little time and take shots tomorrow. My mom tells me she has more vintage bags for me -- she doesn't carry them. One is bone and had a run in with a chocolate shake; we'll see how that goes! :p
 
Hi, the attached bag is for sale (along with some other items) from a local craigslist vendor. I'm thinking of asking for more photos and details, but first I was wondering if someone could identify the bag for me? It would help me to research for more information and pictures. Thanks!
