VTG COACH Shoulder Bag Black Leather 3 Section Top Handles

Pre owned in Excellent condition. While the vast majority of Coach purses have serial numbers, there are some exceptions. Specifically, older bags (from the 1960s and earlier) and some smaller items like clutches, swingpacks, and mini bags, may not have a serial number or a leather creed patch. Newer bags (particularly those from 2014-2016) may also have the style number on a small white tag inside a pocket, rather than the usual leather patch Older Bags: Coach didn't consistently use serial numbers until the mid-1970s. Bags from the 1960s and earlier may not have any serial number. Authenticity: While the presence of a serial number is a good indicator of authenticity, it's not the only factor. Other elements like the quality of the stitching, hardware, and overall construction should also be considered. In summary, while most Coach bags have serial numbers, there are instances where they may not be present.
