1-Buckle Bag 1997

2-International Travel Bag style 511, early 1990s

3-Sonoma Small Full Flap, 1997. And yes, M is one of those plant codes that show up on both Costa Rica and US-stamped creeds

4-Small Sidepack, 1996

5-Can't find that one, sorry

6-Companion Flap 1999

7-You should still insist on a photo of the creed stamp especially with vintage bags. And you always need to see photos of the interior, and ask about any damage and especially about any odors. A lot of vintage bags can have mildew problems. It looks like it's related to a Suspender Bag from the 70s but I don't know the style. The original Suspender Bag measurements are given as 12x9x2 but the one in your picture looks smaller top to bottom.

(BTW, measurements can be a big help with vintage bags that don't have style numbers).

More likely Hamptons, Coach didn't start using Hamilton until recently, if all those outlet styles abbreviated HAM on the price tags really are Hamiltons and not Hamptons. The squared buckle on an older item usually means it's from the Hamptons line. ;)

sorry Hyacith, I didn't see your post. Thank you for the information. This next bag is also an older Hamptons. Am I correct?

Hyacinth,

I am sorry that I didn't get back to you earlier ~ I've been gone for the weekend with not so great internet access :)
Thank you so much for your IDs!
Also, thank you for letting me know what to look for when purchasing from someone on Ebay. This person didn't get back to me when I asked for the proper photos, or about the odors. Amazing to me that people don't answer a simple email as it would help them to sell!

I agree. And some sellers even have their listings set up so that you can't even ask questions through the listing. Any seller who does either one doesn't deserve anyone's business.

Maybe some sellers who know that their bags have condition problems figure if they don't mention the problems in the listings and don't answer bidders' questions, if the eventual buyer in unhappy with the condition they can't complain or file a SNAD claim as long as the seller didn't say anything about the bag's condition.

Thanks again. Your information about the square buckle did it for me. I just wish I could remember everything I learn here. I hope I never ask the same question twice.:smile1:

That's why each individual forum thread has a "Search This Thread" link near the top along with the Search links in the main forums.

Hi,

Are you sure it's an authentic Coach?

If you aren't sure about authenticity, I would be asking for more pictures and the measurements of the bag, and then post them on the "Authenticate This" Coach thread.

That one picture is NOT helpful.

:smile1:

Thank you for your response. No, I am not certain that it is an authentic Coach. I will post in the other forum.

Agreed and sad. Any form of non disclosure always hurts not only the seller but the whole Ebay community.
