Thanks, the spaces are what I figured made it fake (that and made in USA instead of United States...also the strap didn't seem right) but I wanted to get it checked out first. The creed is really hard to read to in person so I missed the misspellings. Aside from the creed this was the best fake I've come across yet.

"Made in U.S.A" is a legitimate stamp but only on a small number of bags from around 1988 thru maybe 1991, mostly from the Lightweight line. Having that at the bottom of the creed doesn't mean the bag is fake. But misspellings and incorrect punctuation usually do - the people at Coach who set up those stamps knew how to speak and write American English correctly, unlike the crooks who made the fake copies and usually didn't speak English at all.

There are other problems, like the size of the letters in "Leatherware", but spelling mistakes or mistakes about what material the bag is made of shouldn't happen in genuine Coaches. There may be a tiny handful of creed mistakes that slip through, but 99.98 percent of bags with creed and serial mistakes are fake.

ETA - looks like "wBinkles" is on there too. Here's another fake creed with the same mistakes and stamped by the same stamp. I can't tell if your serial number ends in -534 or -531 but -534 is the usual way the fake number ends on all the other ones we've found so far. There are 8 spelling and punctuation mistakes just in the creed.

Hi...hope I can post this here. If not, please direct me ( I heard crickets in the Issey clubhouse )
Does anyone know about this bag? I can't seem to find any history as to whether it was full price...was it some type of exclusive? The clubhouse didn't have this exact bag or number. Any info or thoughts are appreciated. TIA!View attachment 3490936 20161011_213953.jpg

I've seen bags with the E in the style number at the outlet. It is unclear what the E means. That particular color was made recently in several styles for factory. They have made a bunch of colors in Issy for the outlets in the last year or two. The styling is different from the full-priced version. In my experience the leather on the factory versions is not as soft as on the original FP versions.

Thank you so much Whateve! You always seem to come through
 
It was made in 2008 and was called the Barrett. It was called a Legacy Boutique item. The color is probably cranberry. I don't know how many were made but it seems pretty rare. The really limited items are usually numbered. Retail was $498.

A wealth of information, thanks! If the creed was as clear as that one no way in a million years would I have picked it up
 
Hello ladies! What can you tell me about this one? Also is it missing anything aside from the hang tag?

Great bag...I have one in the same color (wine) and it rehabbed like a dream. And, mine was flatter and not in as good shape as yours looks to be. Happy rehabbing.

It doesn't look to be missing anything other than the hangtag. It would look pretty with the metal ones Coach sends when asked. Or you might get lucky finding one at an outlet store or even the boutique.

I still can't get pics to show up when replying to a thread. boo! lol It's the Soft Satchel from the Lightweights line in the color 'wine.'

Thank you! I saw a listing recently that was numbered 28 of 40! :shocked: What I didn't get though it said that on a hang tag. So if someone took that hang tag off no one would know what number bag it was! Unless the creed patch also says that but i'm not sure it does.
 
Which Dakota is this?

Measures 9 X 7 X 2.5?
