It is definitely interesting to see them next to each other. Unfortunately I didn't have access to a creed from the same plant. But yes, I can see the differences! Thank you!

That is why the AT thread is amazing. Those expert authenticators do have comparable creeds and will usually show them. I am even downloading these pics, vintage geek that I am, lol. I even take my iPad to flea markets now. Not that the ladies are available on demand, but you never know, someone might be available in the time frame I am there.
One of the things that has been impressed on me over the past few years is that vintage Coach has been faked in more styles than I ever imagined and that fake bags often look okay on casual observation. There are fakes that have the NT-xxxx that are hot messes that can be spotted from 10 feet away. What took me by surprise was learning fakes were made in correct shapes and sizes (but other incorrect small details) that had correct style numbers and even passable month-year-plant codes! That is when my vintage eduacation really started.

I was hoping to get some help identifying a Coach but the site won't let me upload any photos. It keeps saying they're too big. I've cropped them and resized them on my computer but it didn't help. Is anyone else having this problem? I've uploaded photos in the past with no issues. Thanks for any help!

I had that problem too. Someone suggested downloading the tPF app. I did that for my android tablet. Even thought I don't use the app all the time and use the site on my Chrome browser, I have no problem uploading pics on my tablet.

I just use an old laptop for tPF and Ebay and have never had a problem with too-large pics. But I downsize oversize photos as soon as they're saved to my files just so they take up less space.

IRFANVIEW makes a great photo tweaking program, and it's free. Highly recommended!

Thank you Catbird9! I have not seen one before so I am assuming that they didn't make them for that long. I am also guessing it was made about 91-93? any catalog pics? I really appreciate your help and your knowledge.:smile:

They are pretty scarce, I don't see them very often on eBay (where I spend way too much time!) I don't have a catalog pic for it, but the xxx-xxxx serial number format would indicate an early 90s time frame. Yours seems to be in very good condition -- nice find!

They are hard to sell on ebay, because they won't let you use the name Brighton, which belongs to another brand. The first vintage Coach I bought was a Brighton. They are classic and chic in my view.
