Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what this wallet is called and what year it is? There's no tag or anything. I know nothing about it :(

My mom had it laying around in her closet for years.

It's a compact clutch wallet, probably from about 2002-ish.

I can't find a style number for the leather version but this is 6054:

This looks interesting, especially the strap attachment. Does anyone know what it is, please?

It reminds me of an early School Bag, style 9695, maybe before the strap attachment was changed to the sides of the bag instead of clipping to the rings on the back. But that's just a guess. The turnlock tab design and creed/serial stamp makes me think late 1970s - again, just a guess. The turnlock tab and strap attachment on the back are the same as what was used on the old Slim Pouch from around 1978 that eventually became the Station Bag. The strap seems kind of short but I don't know how long the original one was.

Thanks Hyacinth. I'm not sure how comfortable it would be to have the strap attached in that way. But it looks cool!

There's no way anyone could wear it cross-body unless they were impossibly thin, even if the strap was longer. That's probably the reason that back-mounted strap design didn't last very long.

So...hi. I'm totally new here.

I kinda have a question about a Coach bag that I purchased on Ebay (yeah, perhaps not the best choice).

Luckily, it's not fake, but...there's a problem.

It's a Madison Small Phoebe in the Ocelot print fabric. I really enjoy the bag, but the zipper pull of the middle compartment just fell right off. I don't know if this is a normal problem with the bag or if someone did something to make it like that. The listing described the bag as being new with tags. Which it was, but then the zipper pull falls off.

I will admit I paid about half of the retail value of this bag, and I really enjoy the bag, and I'd rather not return it or complain or anything, but I'm just wondering if it's normal. I decided that because of this issue, the seller won't be getting any feedback. This issue made me decide against leaving a positive, but I'm not unhappy enough to leave a negative or neutral. I'm more confused than anything because it's so strange. It just fell right off.

Unfortunately I also scratched up the hardware getting it off and on. Blech. I now have the zipper pull tucked inside to keep it from falling off. I'm trying to think of a way to fix it so it won't fall off and get lost, never to be seen again.

I read about someone having a similar issue, but with a different Coach.

These things happen sometimes, regardless of brand. The seller might not even have known. Coach does send bags out for repairs. Bring it to a Coach store - they'll charge you $20 (has that changed?) for shipping, and they'll send the bag out to be fixed. Should be an easy fix in this case.

Good luck!

If its a fairly recent bag, there's a good chance you can get it repaired free. I have a new willis that had a broken turnlock and they sent it in , repaired and shipped it back to me without charge.

If you do take it to coach, don't mention ebay.

Yeah, that would probably be wise.

There isn't a Coach store near me, though, just stores that carry Coach. Urgh.

I think maybe I should refrain from purchasing newer Coach bags on Ebay in the future. Inexpensive older ones, sure, but nothing like this again.

Why? There's hundreds of us here who have purchased probably thousands of new bags, without issue. eBay or otherwise, your problem is definitely not the norm, and I hope it doesn't deter you from Coach.

Oh, I'm definitely not, I just question the safety of buying Coach from Ebay. Meh. I know this didn't happen because I bought it on Ebay, but I'm still a bit gun shy now.

I definitely love Coach and plan on buying Coach in the future (when I can afford to).

Ebay tends to be a lot safer for buyers than for sellers.

The problem you experienced has nothing to do with where you bought it. Manufacturer defects can be found on items purchased anywhere, including directly from Coach or from Macy's or from Nordstrom. (Consider all the new cars that have recalls. Those cars were sold by dealers.)

Stuff happens. By avoiding ebay, bonanza and other online sites, you'll be missing a lot of possible deals.

Hi..I thought I would ask a question here. I would like to resell a Coach handbag (used) that I purchased from the factory over the summer. I just noticed it does not have the serial number on the back patch like usual, but inside the zipper pocket?? How do I go about reassuring the buyer that it is NOT a fake. I can't believe Coach has started this.
