Please help authenticate Coach E06S-10218

Hi again!

I tried searching for the code in the creed and there are very few things that pop out. Please help me verify if this is a legit bag or not. Planning to buy for mom. Thank you!

Authentic, made in 2006 at China Plant 'S' nice bag!

Thanks for that! Also, "full-grain leather" is stated in the ending of the creed statement. Is that an assurance that the bag is made of full-grain leather? I'm asking coz I read somewhere that most of recent Coach bags are not made of full-grain or top-grain leather anymore, and this one is not yet vintage level.

It actually says ‘Soft Milled Cowhide’ which it is. The creed wording isn’t always perfect, especially China bags.

Thanks for clarifying. The full-grain wording at the end of the statement confused me a little. But I hope the leather quality is still okay. This is a nice looking bag and I think my mom would like it. Thank you again!

I'm sure she will your very welcome!

Soft milled cowhide is the type of full grain leather used. That's why the creed mentions both. 

I've found soft milled cowhide bags to have beautiful soft and supple leather. 

BTW, the bag is a Hamptons leather carryall.

Thank you for those info. I forgot to ask the name of the bag, and good thing you mentioned it.

Anyway, how does the soft milled cowhide differ from the natural glove-tanned cowhide, especially in terms of durability? I recently bought a glove-tanned Compact Pouch (also authenticated here earlier). I tried searching their difference online but did not get the answers I need. Thank you!
