ID This Coach item! -- Post any Coach item name questions here! --

Hello ladies, just a question and my apologies if the subject has been discussed already.
I just happened to notice that the price tag and inside creed have different numbers on a certain "newer" bags, some of them Special Editions, and I understand the creed could have been redacted differently, but the style number also different, or is it not a style number?
One example can be seen in this Ebay listing. No hurry... just curious and thanks.

Could someone please ID this bag? I seem to remember there being two different versions of the "Watermelon" tote/satchel (9440,9441?). This one has a zipper closure, leather covered kisslock, glued-in serial number. I don't have it yet, but the seller said it measures about 14" x 9" x 2". Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
Replying to my own post with the answer to my question. Mine is the 9441 Watermelon Satchel and I found these catalog pics:

There are more thorough answers somewhere on here, but essentially Coach went through a phase where they were using the same "serial number" on the creed on a lot of bags (and they also went through a phase where they weren't putting any number on the creed, just the wording.) On those bags, the style# and year/factory code can be found on a little white tag that is usually sewn into the bottom left corner of a zip pocket. The number on the price tag will match the number after the dash on the white tag.

The ebay example you linked is one of the bags from that time period. The seller should send you a picture of that white tag for proper authentication. Note that sometimes it is very hard to get a picture of that tag as some pockets do not budge when you try to pull them inside out, at least from my experience.
 
And although most of them have thankfully disappeared (or fallen apart), 99,999 out of 100,000 Scribble Bikinis (and "Coach" Bikinis in general!) were and ARE fake.
In case anyone wants to see some bikinis, here are a few:

And the following are like the fakes that proliferate the internet:

Thank you so much, your explanation is perfect!
I was not interested in that particular bag, I just wanted to know, learning about Coach is a never ending quest, LOL

Hello, going over listings on PoshMark I found these two vintage bags made in Mexico, and I am just wondering which is the real 9076 and if this is a mistake that has happened sometimes. Not interested in these particular bags, I only want to know so I do not dismiss a possible one in the future thinking the mistake means "fake". Still trying to learn :smile: TIA and no hurry.

No, it looks like she accidentally uploaded the 9076 pics to the other one.

Thank you so much, good catch Sherlock! So the 9076 is the flap with turn lock right? May be I should have more coffee before coming here to take your time :facepalm:

No worries. Yes 9076 I think is the companion flap.

Be careful because the seller doesn't verify authenticity prior to listing (although it's PM so they don't care anyway). She's sold a lot of fakes:
