Coach Creed stamped in wrong place on Vintage Station Bag, Made in NY

[deebogles]

I recently received a Vintage Coach Station bag and the Creed is stamped inside the outer large front pocket and not on the inner slip pocket. I've never seen anything like it after all the years selling Vintage Coach bags. It says Coach Leatherware, Made in New York City etc. and the leather is thick and beautiful. The hardware is brass and the strap clips even have the little anchor on them so idk what to do or think about this bag. Looking at the pictures, do you think it's authentic and someone just made a mistake at the factory? I restore Vintage Coach bags and I've never seen anything like this. Authenticate First approved my bag as authentic but I just don't know.

I cant speak for this bags authenticity, as I cannot see the creed stamp clearly, but as for the stamp location, its totally fine. Many older station bags were stamped on the outside pocket face like yours if it authentic, but i have never seen an older fake with the stamp like yours.

Thank you! Going directly into a warm bubble bath, prep for pop color! I may just keep it in my collection instead of selling it. lol Thanks again. Dee

IMO, I wouldn't dunk this bag for fear of weakening the older threads.

I believe the Station bag was released in 83, and in 84 they moved the stamp to the second flap inside of the bag instead of the front pocket, so I think that would mean your bag was made in 1983.
