Yes, brass does that.
I don't see any problems with the bag.

Hello All
Long Time, the site looks different , hope everyone is having a great summer
I picked up a couple of hats this weekend, funny I never see any and this week I got 3.
I bought the signature khaki one first with the tan canvas lining then I found the other 1 and noticed the orange lining with size tag.
after extensive searches I can't find a single one with the tan lining
did i get duped?
also the black one went against my instincts but for a buck I gave it a try. is this one of the goes against the rules things with the signature
outside and inside? or is this a fake
here are the pics hope i did this right, everything looks different.
Thanks in advance

The black and the khaki with orange lining are both good.

I'd like to see a closeup of the Coach patch from inside the one with the tan lining. I want to see a bit of the lining around it as well as the stamping and stitching of the patch.

Trying to post, but I'm new here and probably muddled!

I'm hoping to authenticate this purse:

Item: Coach Janice's Bag
Measurements: 9.25 x 3.5 x 9.75 in.
Comments: From my web searches, I gathered that this bag was made in July 2001 (?).
The creed is in the photo.

I've already bought the purse as a replacement for one that got destroyed, but the link still works.

Listing: 278534616
Seller: The Aft Cabin
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/278534616/vintage-coach-janices-legacy-9950

Thanks so much for any help! [emoji846]The bag has a good Coach "feel," compared to my other Coach vintages, but I couldn't find anywhere to authenticate the factory code letter. Can P=Costa Rica?

Welcome to the forum! The bag is authentic, and you are right, it was made in 2001. The factory code "P" was always used for Costa Rica. There isn't a list of factory codes published anywhere that I know of, and Coach never made it public. The authenticators and collectors here have figured them out after looking at thousands of bags and creeds.

Thanks very much, whateve! I received a different Janice's Bag for my birthday (my choice, may have made a mistake), and the leather just didn't feel right to me. I'm curious about it, too, if you have a moment. I was planning on donating it to a local charity but wanted to be able to alert them if it wasn't definitely the real thing. If it isn't real, I don't think the seller was ill-intentioned. I promise to leave you alone after this![emoji6]

It is authentic. Some people have noticed a degradation of quality in bags made at certain plants or certain countries, especially after 2001.
No need to leave me alone; I enjoy helping people.

Greetings all! Recovering from surgery and my head is finally clear enough from the pain meds to start working on my rehab pile-- my own personal occupational therapy . I have several that I would like to have authenticated, all in my possession from the local GW. I'm still new to this new format so not sure how many images I can post at a time (?) but here are the first two.

Regina's Legacy 9983
7.5" long x 7" tall x 3" deep.
The strap seems to be a poor quality replacement but I think the bag is authentic.

Murphy Bag 9930
7" long x 9" tall x 3" deep
