Hello dear Coach experts,

Is there a way to tell the approximate year of this Coach Willis Burgundy Bag? i bought it on ebay a few years ago. Made in Costa Rica. Let me know what other pics I need to add. Thank you!

I think it was probably made in 2003. The style of the plaid looks a lot like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-bag-T...202?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item258a401412

I haven't found it on the wayback. I haven't found the tote style in wool and I haven't found anything in the gray colorway.

I haven't found anything at all with that strap design either, which worries me. Almost all the totes with the "wraparound" straps are fabric. And the Coach totes with extra-long straps like that usually have a buckle adjustment on the straps. I haven't seen that exact plaid in any of my catalogs from the early 2000s either, and I have 4 or 5 catalogs from each of those years.

There's nothing in that photo or design that says "Coach" to me. I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole without more photos.

I don't think OP is still interested, but I found these wristlets, which might be the same fabric: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Wrist...238?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20fab1e226

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Classic-Coa...299?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eceb5faab

They are similar in design to these, one of which has a dot on the label:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Wool-...091?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c521e0fab

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Wrist...003?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5674726ee3

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Rust-...798?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c51558a7e

This similarly designed tote has buckles on the straps, but is probably from a different collection.

ETA: This tote matches the herringbone wristlet above, which is the same style as the gray plaid wristlet. It is MFF from 2007 and also has buckles.

The closest I can find is a different plaid and different straps. I'm with Hyacinth on this one. It's either fake or it's not Coach.

the styles are 8936 and 8937 from 2003.

It might possibly be a piece that matched the gray plaid wristlet. I've seen the other wool items before but except for the wristlets Whateve posted, I haven't seen that one. It could be MFF which would explain why it's not archived anywhere and the similar design of the all-leather bag #5187 seems to confirm it being an outlet style. But I'd still insisit on seeing a creed and serial number before even thinking of buying it.

Look what I found! I found the image in a google image search and found the listing from which it came but unfortunately, the pictures aren't showing.
