OK, here's a weird one. I'm asking for authentication for two bags, which I thought were "twins." However, they have different Serial No's. One of the bags has a bullseye on the creed, and it has a signature lining. The stitching is more color matched with the leather. That serial No. is E060-8A70. The other bag has a plain color lining. That serial No. is E0793-F11199. So the one with the plain lining was made for the factory store? I photographed them together because I thought it was funny to see...however, if it makes authentication easier, I can break into two different posts. They are the same size, (about 8 inches tall by 11.5 inches across by 3.5 inches across the bottom), they have the same hardware (however the bullseye bag has a leather pull on the interior pocket and the F bag has a metal circle). The bullseye bag seems to have a more soft, supple leather. Are one or both authentic? Thanks for helping. Both bags were made in China. The bullseye bag has some extra stitching on the belt loops, and they have different wording on the creeds. Bullseye spells full-grain with a hyphen. F bag spells it "full grain." How acquired: one at shopgoodwill.com, one a local goodwill thrift store.

Both are genuine. One was made for the full-price stores and one for the outlets. Even if Coach meant them to be identical except for small details they still would have had to assign a different style number to the newer one made for the outlets because 4-digit style numbers had been replaced by 5-digit numbers starting in 2006 and the stamping hardware changed accordingly.

Dear Authenticators, I think I have purchased a fake :sad: But want to double-check it here before reaching out to the seller.
If I have done better research on this authenticated thread, I'd know this seller has known to sell a mix of authentic and fake items ...

Item: small crescent
Listing number: see below
Seller and site where listed: TheVintagemints / Etsy

Original Listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/274804...how_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details

Here are my photos of the bag creed, the hardware (says "solid brass" on it), and the very fake-looking bag tag

Comments: I'm pretty sure that this is fake but I wanted to confirm that before I report it. The creed is blurry but there appears to be mis-spellings in the words!

Those pictures are awful! I can't even really tell the style of bag other than that it's a tote.

The hang tag is fake and the dust bag is fake.

I can't see the full creed but I believe that the bag may be okay.

If you can get them to send a picture of the full creed and serial number and possibly the bag standing upright, that would help. (The bag picture isn't necessary (for me) though for buyers, it's certainly useful!

While we're talking about red leather totes, here's one I found today. Authentic? 10.5 inches tall by about 16.5 inches across (at top, widest) by 4 inches across the bottom. Obtained: thrift store. The made in China (Chine) tag looks strange, translucent. Thank you! Serial No. G1376-26769.

I'm no expert, however, I do spend a LOT of time looking at coach purses on the internet (and in my space). That purse on Shopgoodwill looks a lot like this one: 12343. PS: I've bought several things from this seller (it's my local area) and everything has been legit and beautiful.

It IS 12343. I can see that on the creed photo on shop goodwill.

The more I looked at the bag the more I was convinced I want it. I bought it. I'll share photos when I get it so you can all confirm if it is legit. I FEEL that it is, But of course hearing from an expert would be super useful.
