Since we have some new members...I posted this bag a little more than a year ago on the AT thread but without any Coach logo, Hyacinth could not authenticate it. I DID see this bag on ebay years ago with the small black & white Coach lozenge. I bought it at an estate sale here in Florida at least 10+ years ago...the quality of leather, stitching and details are SO Coach-like. Does anyone here recognize it? Any info is greatly appreciated!

I am disappointed. .. for all of us really. I think this just shows what greed can do to people.
OMG, I am SO sorry!
I somehow feel responsible, just because I posted it here, and maybe this thread is where that awful person got the heads-up, then used it to be so devious.
That bag was so badly listed, and you'd never know from the title how special it was. I really just wanted someone here to see it, knowing the amazing work the Rehab & Rescue ladies do on these older bags. I, too, was hoping to see it featured on the R&R thread. I just can't believe someone would be so mean and underhanded.
I'm also both awed and overwhelmed that you were planning to gift it to the Archives. What a wonderful gesture from a true & dedicated Coach "historian" - and yes, your interest in the older Coach lines shows that it's not the money, but the history that matters to you, just as it does to some of the other posters here. I commend you for your generosity and kindness and feel absolutely dreadful that my post may have been the catalyst that upset everything.
As I said before, I only wanted the "right" person to see it, and I apologize that I may have led the "wrong" one right to it.
To add insult to injury. .. I'd already emailed Jed Winokur to let him know that I'd gotten a great deal on it and offered it to him for the archives for free
Shame on that seller!!! If we cannot trust both the seller and the buyer to keep up their end of the bargain, what the heck is the purpose of Ebay??? It is so very disheartening when all some people care about is the God Almighty dollar!! How very disappointing.....
Hello!
Wondering if you guys could help me confirm the authenticity of this vintage Coach purse. I believe it is from somewhere between 1980-93. I'm sorry the creed pic is not clearer, it's hard to take a picture of in such a slim little bag. Says 'Made in the United States' and the serial number is 029-0026. I think it predates the more modern creed that Coach uses. Just wanting to make sure it's genuine. Thank you very much!

I agree, the whole thing is awful. The seller made a deal! They definitely should get some kind of seller ding from Ebay. I would never want to buy from a seller that would do something like that!!!! You were not intending to flip the bag for resale but donate to the Coach archives, where a bag like that would be preserved!!!!!
Last ditch effort here.... Jed is sending me a donation form as we speak... here's an email that I just sent the seller...wish me luck!
Okay Linda,
I hope that you read this and choose to do the right thing. Jed just sent me the below email response. I had offered to donate the bag (free) the archives if they were interested in it. I do that to make sure that these bags don't rot in a chest somewhere or end up in a greedy person's hands like your other bidder where they try to extort money for them. If you agree, I would pay you again and you could send the bag directly to the archives. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do this for all of us that love COACH and don't want these old beauties to go anywhere but where they will be lovingly restored and displayed for all to enjoy.
Please let me know asap so that I can either tell Jed the good news or tell him what has happened with this bag. I can tell you that he would never buy it otherwise after this. They have integrity as well.

And even if Debi were going to flip it, there's nothing wrong with that. The seller made a deal and should have done her own research before listing the bag. Although what the seller did isn't illegal, it's unethical, it's poor customer service and she's not a seller I'd want to do business with.
Very true...it does really come down to her backing out of a contract made on ebay.
