I think we'll have to do that instead because yes, we do believe her and don't believe she was given a fake by her company. Just doesn't make sense. She's not a liar and she can more than afford over 100 Manolo Blahnik heels and live in a huge park ave apartment - so its not a question of whether we believe her, its a question of can we can prove the authenticity for potential buyers. We want everyone to feel comfortable with this, we don't come across many fakes but used items all have "their story". So we'll investigate and get back to you on what we find! Thanks all!

Several Coach experts (who are also the experts that ebay relies on for authentication) have looked at your pictures of the bag in question and have stated their concerns about details that are incorrect. These are people who are very familiar with and have been authenticating Coach for years. I wouldn't hesitate to accept their opinion. There are details that just don't add up.
Just because someone can "afford over 100 Manolo Blahnik heels and lives in a huge Park Ave apartment" doesn't mean that they are beyond questioning or that everything they say should be accepted as fact. I know of people who can more than afford the real thing, but who for one reason or another, choose to carry fakes.
You are right to want to verify authenticity before selling, as it's illegal to sell a fake. It needs to be verified as authentic without a doubt before it can be sold anywhere. Your best bet might be to send it in to Coach for authentication. If you do send it in, you'll have to pay for shipping both ways. And keep in mind that if Coach determines that the bag is not authentic, it will NOT be returned to you. Good luck.
I'd still like to see the additional pictures I asked for in my previous post.

Can anyone ID this bag for me? It's listed as a Hamptons Weekeneder but I can't find another like it and there is no creed shown in the photos.

Thank you!
I think the title is the actual name, but perhaps the word order is off:
Hamptons small weekend tote.
OK - I think I found it over on the Hamptons reference thread so I feel better! The strap color is different but I'm sure there were variations. I'll keep looking around.
I love this place! Thank you for your help!

What bag is in the photo on the right and what color is it? - the hobo with the braided strap?

It appears to be the Dylan Hobo, style #10045, in Tobacco. It retailed for $428 in Fall 2006. It also came in a White color (pic attached). Without seeing the creed, I'm just going by the details I can see in the auction picture.

Ladies,
I don't want to annoy but am reposting from Aug. 11 in the hopes that someone knows the answer. I won't try again if there is no response, just would really like to know, since I have a 12603 and love it!
Can anyone tell me the proper names and the differences between these two purses? Are they different sizes of the same bag? The photos below are from ebay postings. The bags look identical to me, so I am left wondering about the different numbers.
Also, do you think it is possible to get the inside of the first one clean?

I assume you didn't get responses if no one knows the actual name of the style.Ladies,

Although I'm not familiar with the actual items, I assume that the difference between 12602 and 12603 is probably in the measurements. Usually that's the difference when there are two very similar styles.
BTW, your links aren't working.
Thanks BeenBurned. I think you are right about the measurements. I see now that one is shown as 13" long and the other is 16".
Let's see if these links work:

Hello ladies - it's my first time posting here.
I've got several older Coach bags and I want to find out more about them. This one is made of gunmetal/pewter pearlised nappa leather. It's 9 inches wide & 5 inches high. Lined in black fabric with Coach logo. The strap can be altered to make it into a wristlet clutch. The creed says it was made in Italy and the serial is J9E-6151. I've searched the Coach archives and auction sites but haven't found another like it.
Any help appreciated.
Marie

I'm not sure if I should post this one here or on the vintage thread.
The serial number on this looks like L 9089 but it's hard to read. I've searched around and seen a similar black one advertised and the lady thought it might be an "Ashville Satchel". I've never heard of that style but, to be fair, I am in England where we don't get Coach bags.
The bag has the "O" in a circle which I think means it came from an outlet store.
Any info welcome!
