The X stamped on the creed means it was sent to a final reseller like TJ Maxx or Marshalls. I can't find a name for that exact bag but it's from the same line as the style 9285 smooth leather version shown in the website picture below. They apparently had both leather and suede versions and probably a few different sizes, some with fixed and some with adjustable strap handles. "Suede Turnlock Satchel" sounds right and from there it's just a matter of working out the size designation.

Hyacinth is there a place I could send somebody to look up some stuff? She's having issues with the wristlet that I have up for sale it has the made in China little tab inside on the dot on it because it was made for factory and she's insisting she's never ever seen coach made in China I'm trying to email her information and I'm just not really getting anywhere.
I have that Hobo! It's a Hampton weekend sateen purse... The creed is a small brown suede patch in this bag
If someone wants to come post pictures for authentication, refer them here:

This person should know that not only has Coach been made in China, but it's been made in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Italy, Hungary, Turkey, Viet Nam, and several other countries.
Something else she should know is that many fakes indicate that they're made in the United States when they were not.
ETA: A buyer who insists that certain things are fact when they aren't and if you can't get through to that person, it's not a buyer you should do business with. I'd add that person's ID to my BBL and never look back!
Send her the link to the Salearea Guides posted at Ebay. Saleara is one of Ebay's largest and most experienced sellers of classic and vintage Coaches, and I did the research and writing for the six Coach guides so I can guarantee they're accurate. Several of them list all the countries where Coach has been made, like the one on Authenticity Guide myths.

Coach started making travel and business items in China as early as the middle 1990s and switched production of handbags and accessories over to China almost completely in 2000.
And I don't understand why your buyer doesn't just look through Ebay - except for some newer styles made in Vietnam, India, Philippines and Myanmar, almost every single bag including all the Signature, fabric, and patterned styles made in the last 15 years and most of the leather styles made after 2005 have been made in China and will say so right on the creeds. All she has to do is look at a few of the tens of thousands of Coach items listed on Ebay.
I had to do a little Googling, so this information might not be exactly correct. According to what I found the colors are khaki/brown.
For future reference, you're not in the Authentication thread. That one is located in the Coach SHOPPING forum, and Post number One in the Authenticate This Coach thread explains what information we need to give an authentication.
We'll also need a better and clearer photo of the serial number, it's not readable in your photo. From what little I can see of it there may be a problem. We especially need any links where this may be posted or listed for sale, if you're thinking of buying it, which I wouldn't recommend.
I'd also like to see a clear readable close-up of the "male" part of the magnetic snap on the back of the flap shown in your last photo.
