It looks okay.

The tag would have the style number but just so you know, having the "right" tag and/or creed and serial number doesn't prove that an item is authentic. It's the details of the item itself that determine authenticity.

Personally, I recommend you consider whether you want to do business with a non-responsive seller. If she's ignored several messages before a sale, what will happen if there's a problem after you receive the item?

I did ask the seller a few times and tried looking for others similar to it on eBay. I suspect it's a made for factory item which might explain why I can't even find any information for it on the internet. If she is a non-responsive seller after the fact, I would just open a case with eBay. Just sucks because they are super cute and I need a new wallet. :D
 
And this is why s/he's still one of my "faves" - NOT. ANYONE with ANY vintage Coach experience should know what the **** a Stewardess Bag looks like! The seller STATION_85 says "there is a nice larger slip pocket on the underlying face with an additional little slip pocket in front." NO there isn't. It's a very nice bag but someone with their heart set on a Stew probably won't be happy.

Desciption is apparently recycled from another listing, which makes it harder to pin a name on it. My guess would be a Ranch Bag from 1990-91, but I guess the seller figures that Stewardess Bags bring more money and hopes that the buyer is too dumb to notice the difference, or too weak or embarrassed to complain about it.
Thanks Hyacinth. I won't be buying that one, but now I know what I'm looking for. I much prefer the double sided straps.
 
Now I'm thinking it could be 19874 or 47902, but I only find those in Ikat. Weird!

ETA or it's fake, but nothing about what I see in the photos makes me suspect it's fake. I'm stumped.
Coach used different style numbers for ikat than for the dream C so it can't be either of those. It could be the dream C counterpart to 47902, which would account for no creed.

Any ideas as to what style/year this one is?

I've never seen it before, and google and I aren't getting along. Thanks so much!
It's style number 13049 from 2009. Here's one on ebay.

I think they made this one in other colors too.
