I thought it could be a prototype...too bad, I was rehabbing to sell. Only thing inside is the creed, and the words (see picture below). The inner sole seams to be leather as well and has the words "Coach" printed on. Good leather, too.

I've never seen the type of sole marking as yours has (although that doesn't mean much). I've never seen a stamp without the Coach logo. (Are those 2 holes above the "genuine leather" stamp?)

Coach footwear usually (if not always) has style name/style number/size information stamped on the inside as well as on the sole.


This is an example:

Thank you, BeenBurned! I learn so much from you guys!

Too bad! Cute boots!:sad:
Note to others: There was also discussion (in more detail) on the "Authenticate Those SHOES" subforum.

Unfortunately, this is one of those cases where authenticity can't be determined. They can't be deemed fake either but without certainty of authenticity, they shouldn't be resold.

It looks like a Bedford Multi Function Purse, # 6994 from the Spring 2000 catalog. The measurements the seller gave are a bit off from the catalog which shows 4 3/4 x 3 1/4. It's on the Wayback if you dig deep enough:

Thank you very much!
I didn't know what year to look at on the Wayback.

Bags and wallets that have that small metal circle inset into the leather zipper pull will often be from the Bedford line and almost always from right around 2000. The thin font without any surrounding cartouche used in the Coach name on the front of some wallets was common around that time too.
 
How do I go on the Wayback Machine?

Here is the link for the wayback machine. It can be fun and addicting, and both a frustrating and rewarding experience. You need to know the year and approximate date (season?) when the bag you are interested in was released. Then start checking dates and you may get lucky. At least that's how I do it but if others have a better method then I would love to hear about it.

I usually have better luck using Google Chrome as my browser for the Wayback machine, as compared to IE, but that may not be the case for everyone.

Does anyone know when the Sharky Coin Cases were originally released. I think that it was last year some time and I have been trying to find them on the Wayback, but so far no luck! I just picked these up at the outlet this weekend.

I know my coworker got one as a gift , l believe for Christmas '16. I'll confirm with her today. I'll post back if I was incorrect!

It's still on the Coach UK website.
