They didn't have more than one number and if you read the guides I suggested you'll find your answer. And yes it's a Station Bag.
I'm pretty sure it is real want to make sure
Willis no. J5D- 5130
What color is this? I think rare (what I have seen other blogs)
Taupe tan or mushroom tan?!!
Want to make sure SN match
Do people really make fake vintage coach bags? I thought I was safe in buying them!
No, you're NOT safe buying vintage bags. many of them were faked. This isn't a Willis, it's a Station Bag but without a clear readable photo of the creed patch and serial number it's impossible to know if it's genuine. The serial number prefix J5D- and many other prefixes starting with J are often found in all-leather fakes.
We usually need measurements when it's an older bag with no stamped style number. It might be a Bucket Bag from the late 1980s. And we always need a creed photo to authenticate a bag.
You're welcome. That Jackson bucket is pretty rare, I think. I've never seen one.
Good morning! Spent three hours yesterday sorting through six bins of Coach purses for my local thrift - lots of fakes!! Full report in a little while, but I do have a few questions.
First, is anyone familiar with the 9100 style series? I can't find any info on them. And second, does anyone remember what thread the lovely Hyacinth posted the scans of the color swatches on? I have been searching since yesterday and for the life of me I can't find them! Thanks everybody!
ETA: Found and bookmarked the color swatches!
ETA: searched on 1997 and found an answer about the 9100 series - the Manhattan collection! Does anyone have a catalog pic? Thanks!

No, I've never found any catalogs that show the 1997 collection, just a few bad pictures from online listings. If anyone else has any catalog pages, it would be great to see them.
Thanks Hyacinth. This was in the six bins of purses I went through yesterday. I think I'm going to have to take go back up and take more pics. This is what I found here: http://forum.purseblog.com/coach/id-coach-item-post-any-coach-item-name-355205-425.html#post24804256
But the one that I looked at doesn't have the embossing on the front. Hmmm. The creed number is the same as hers though. I also found a single handle flap with a style #9100. My tablet was dying so I didn't get as many pics as I would have liked!
The style number checks out and everything! There is a bullet near the creed patch. Please let me know as soon as you can!! I will be so angry if it is a fake!:$
This is a No. J..... It must have been the lighting or it is faded
