"No Coach model is a reasonable match: the rectangular zip-top silhouette and exotic vertically paneled body do not correspond to the listed classic Coach models, which generally use glove-tanned cowhide, turnlocks, or identifiable Coach construction.",
"Era is uncertain from the photos; the bag has a vintage-looking design, but no readable label or date identifier is present. The seller's Korea and eel-skin claims remain unverified seller-stated evidence.",
