i recently purchased what i hope/think is a vintage coach cross body bag. the creed number says "No 034 3249." coach couldn't help because they said their available records don't really go past the early 80's, maybe. anyone have any idea about this bag? i informed the customer rep that it does say "made in the united states" at the end of the inside coach statement. the rep said coach stopped making bags in the us in the early 80's he believed. HELP!

You will have to post pictures of the bag (with measurements) and a clear photo of the creed. There is no way to say if a bag with a "random serial number" is authentic or what the name of the bag is.

That number could have been used on any bag made during that time frame.

By the way, Coach did NOT stop making bags in the US in the 1980's...so calling Coach is just a waste of time. Mostly you get nothing but bad information.

Upload photos to Photobucket and post the code here - OR attach pictures from your computer using the "paper clip" icon in the POST REPLY box.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! being that i called coach twice to speak to to TWO different reps, and both times got nowhere, i believe you are correct in saying that calling them is a waste of time. so sad. they should have a vintage dept! i will try for photos and see what replies and info come back. thanks again!
 
Is this the bag? It looks like a "Casey" bag but without a clear, readable picture of the creed there is no way to be positive OR to tell what year the bag was made.

This is the brown bag's version.

I have the black bag version and this is what it says:
"This is a Coach bag. It is made out of a completely natural glove tanned cowhide. The scars, scratches, veins, and wrinkles are natural markings characteristic of full grain leathers.

Made in the United States

I don't know what year the "Casey" bag was first released to Coach stores.

Are you asking about the authenticity of your bag, which is black and is NOT the bag in the listing? If so, you will have to post pictures of your bag with a clear photo of the creed in the "Authenticate This Coach" section.

If you know your bag is authentic - you can tell the year it was made by the letters/numbers underneath the creed wording.

The information below will explain how to determine the year of manufacture.

This one has me stumped, it's an older Coach, smaller crossbody, purchased from a local charity thrift.

I've been calling it "The Taco Bag". My husband is calling it "The Pierogi Bag". Hopefully neither of those are the correct name :D

Taco Bag Details: British Tan, approx. 9" w x 6.5" h x 2.5" deep, #0276-304 "Made in the United States"
I've attached one 'teaser' photo and more pix w/ a couple of shots of the creed are at

Thanks as always!

Please forgive me if this has been answered in the past, I did a search and could not seem to narrow down an answer. At any point in Coach's history, did they make bags that would not have within the stamped creed where the bag was made? I spotted an older bag today at a flea market and while I was inspecting the inside of the bag and looking at the creed, it was worded correctly but was missing the location information. It seemed odd to me. Thanks for your help.

How about "The Pot-sticker Bag"? "The Calzone Bag"? ;)

It's called a Kimball Zip from the early 1990s, the style number was 9911.
