Soho Back Sac 4134​

No. J4C-4134
31.5 x 36 x 14cm

Hi, I would love to get this green Back Sac from an online platform in Japan. But the Coach catalogue did not show that they sell this Back Sac in green. Please help me review this. Thank you very much!

It looks fine. Not all colors made it into the catalog.

The bullseye looks odd to me too but I'm not seeing any other problems. I think it is fine. More opinions are welcome.

Thank you so much for your eye on both the bags!

And yeah, I'm not sure how often or common a wonky bullseye comes up for you all and your experience.

And here is the second one! Thanks again

Item: #8668 Nylon Mini Bag (not sure what to call this)
Found: Local thrift
Comments: The bullseye symbol looks off to me, not sure if these are ever authentic mistakes or not.

I've seen fakes with fake bullets but the bag in question looks fine.

Can already tell that this is likely fake bag. 9927 is Willis

You are correct. However, very rarely a genuine Coach could have an incorrect style number stamped in it at the factory, so always have them authenticated here just to be sure. This one also has a problem with the inside pocket zipper backing and there are two other problems with the serial number.

You could try reporting the fake to Poshmark using the Report link in the listing but chances of them actually removing it are about 1 in 20, which is why we do NOT recommend buying from Poshmark. A buyer's chances of getting a refund after buying a fake aren't much better.

It's why we require that seller's names or IDs are included in all applicable authentication requests, so members can Search this forum to check on a seller's history. Please keep that in mind for future requests.

Posh seller portraitndpatch either doesn't authenticate her items or doesn't care if s/he sells illegal counterfeits. I wonder if that's the same bag that's still shown as Available in the seller's closet along with a photo of its apparent twin that's shown as Sold?

It looks genuine.

But I sure hope that anyone looking at what apparently are the seller's photos actually reads the description first before they buy it thinking that it's green, or they're going to be disappointed when they open the package.

Hello and good morning, authenticators! I’m curious as to whether or not this bag is genuine - I haven’t seen another Sonoma bag with a zipper on the side, and usually the serial numbers are 4938 from what I’ve seen, whereas this one is 4934. Thank you for any help!

eBay item number: 126455745493
eBay seller: jaga_35

Please post a copy of the seller's creed and serial number photo.

4934 is the Large Backpack Nubuc, 4938 is the Small Backpack Nubuc. Same style, just different sizes.

Do you have a catalog picture of 4934?

 

[JuneCleaverSemperFi]

Would you please authenticate this belt I purchased from the consignment shop? Stamped 8556 G3 on back. Stamped made in Italy on back of buckle. About 1" wide. Thank you
Sorry the stamp is so tiny & leather seems to be a polished calf so tried my best to get a clear shot.

Hello! I have a coin purse for you guys to look at when you have the time.

Name: suede coin purse
Where found: yard sale
Size: approximately 5 inches x 3 inches

 

[Hyacinth]

Do you have a catalog picture of 4934?

No, sorry, just of the 2 Small versions in Natural Grain 4911 and Nubuc 4938. 4908 was the Natural Grain version of the Large Nubuc 4934 but neither one of the Large versions is in my photo files, only my text list.

From the 1996-1997 Source Book:

Thanks. I have this photo. I've never seen the larger one. The one in the listing has a zippered pocket diagonally on the front. The creed looks good. I've never seen one so I didn't know about the pocket. Also, what's weird is that the seller's measurements are very close to the size of the small -11 x 9 x 6 inches.
