Hi Tia,
You are in Jacksonville? I am in Citrus County. I am far from an expert but it looks like a signature gallery tote. We will see what Whateve or Hyacinth have to say about it.

Hi Tia,

Coach made a lot of similar styles. We'd need a clear readable photo of the creed patch and serial number to try and identify it.
Anyone know what year and line these ring binder planners were from? I love the 3x5 I already have and just won a 3.75x6.75 in red on eBay today. I've seen them on eBay in a cobalt blue, too. The hardware is gorgeous, the strap is generous and the leather has a nice squish to it. I just wish it had more pockets and a bigger pen loop.

Hi Girls!
I'm new here and to the general topic of Coach bags. I purchased this purse on ebay a few months ago and had noooo idea that they are supposed to have a serial number(with a few exceptions? ...so I'm learning). It's much smaller than I thought it would be (but that's another story). The thing is, there is no serial number on the creed whatsoever. The workmanship seems fine in all other ways with a fine zipper though the hardware d-ring shape on each side does not match if that is at all relevant. It's a vintage bag though I have no idea how old it could be so the leather has some "patina". My concern though... is it fake or real? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated from all you experts out there! http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinkpurr/

Welcome to TPF!
The bag looks fine. It's some type of soho leather hobo though I don't know the style number, nor do I know whether it might have had a serial number that "rubbed off." (Sometimes the imprint isn't really deep and can be very difficult to see if it becomes worn.) I can't tell from the picture you've posted whether that's the case or if this bag is one without a serial number. This is a smaller bag so it's very possible that it's one that has a creed without a serial number.
Do you have the item number or a link to the listing from which you purchased?
In the future, if you have authenticity questions, you can post here as per post #1 of this thread:

BTW, it's not a vintage bag since vintage is usually considered to be 20+ years old. The bag would be from approximately 2004-05.
One 6-ring version was from late 2001 and was called a Textured Medium Organizer, style 8742 and had 4 credit card and 4 multipurpose pockets. Measurements were 4 1/4 x 6 inches.
The Textured Small Organizer # 8741 has only one credit card and two multipurpose pockets and the same measurements. The Organizers are described as textured water buffalo calfskin. The catalog doesn't say if there was a smaller size that took the 3x5 refills. They made a lot of different styles and there's really no way to find information on all of them.
Coach also did a matching wallet line the same year with the same clasp, called Madison (Mini Wallet, French Purse, etc) not to be confused with the mid-1990s Madisons.

Awesome, thanks. Buffalo calfskin explains the really squishy tactile leather.
I recently bought a used coach purse that is in exceelent condition however it has a smoke smell to it. I have sprayed a little frebreeze on it and some perfume. What is the best way to get this smell out. I have heard place it in a sealed container with baking soda. Does this work. The purse is signature cloth and has some leather on it.
Thanks
Thanks

I posted this in the Coach forum and someone suggested that I cross-post it here.
I was browsing eBay looking for a Coach purse that wouldn't break the bank, and I came across this cute Coach Soho Pleated Signature Hobo purse (click here to see the purse), in a purple color that I haven't seen before.
I couldn't find much information about the purse online at all, so I was hoping someone here could shed some light on it.
