I've searched multiple times but cannot locate information on the meaning behind a "P" appearing after the style number in a creed patch and would love input on what it means.

Entire creed is: EO63 - 10325P

Appear to be a Legacy Whiskey Hippie with a Factory Bullseye/Bullet stamp.

Thank you all in advance!

It's a pilot bag. Usually that means this bag was produced in a trial run before they appeared everywhere. Sometimes the pilot bags have features that the regular production runs don't have and sometimes they are exactly the same. You can see a regular production version here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Coach-I...884?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item4ab4c7e05c
You should get it authenticated if you are interested. I don't know if plant 3 was still operational in 2006.

First of all, whateve, thank you for the info.

The bag is listed on Bonanza -

http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Coa...tta-Leather-Hippie-10325-P-Crossbody/85636209

I have asked the Seller where she got the bag and am waiting for the reply.

The leather has that mottled look but I've seen my share with these variations even on display in my FP boutique. The hangtag is not the same as the hangtag on the production black hippie that I already own but I don't know that it was issued as such or substituted by a prior owner for a missing hangtag.

would love comments/opinions on what you all think.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

The same bag is listed on ebay and includes a picture of the creed.

You can see that the creed is different from the production models in that it isn't written in gold but that isn't a problem with a pilot bag. The mottled leather look is common in legacy bags and hangtags can be replaced. I don't see any problems with it but I am not an expert on pilot bags or legacy. Before you buy, post both the ebay and bonanza listings in the Authenticate this thread to get Hyacinth's or Demram's opinion.

Pilot bags were sold in select stores. The latest pilot bags were available to anyone who ordered early, before the bags were released, by calling Coach (JAX).

Hi, could someone ID this bag for me. It's a silver metallic.
TIA

ETA: I did a forum search and it seems to be a Parker in perforated leather.

Item: Small Black Flap Crossbody (NYC, 1980s)
Source: Rehabbing for a friend
Dimensions: 7" tall, 8" wide, 3" deep

Comments: This bag belongs to my friend of 14 years and she has carried it almost exclusively during all that time. It's amazing that it still looks so good! She has obviously taken good care of it but those "Made in NYC" vintage bags are very tough!

A few months ago I gave her a rehabbed British Tan City Bag and she loves it and carries it a lot. So I offered to rehab her black bag and to try and find out more about it and she was thrilled.

She is certain that it is genuine because she bought it at a major department store. She said that it is "older than my daughter" and she thinks she bought it in the 1980s. It has a 7 digit serial number (xxx-xxxx).

Please try to identify it and I'd appreciate any information that you might have, such as the style number and the approximate date of release. Thanks so much!
