Do you have the medium or large Carly? The large size signature Carlys have more rows of C's than the medium. The C's on the large are the same size as the ones on the medium (if it's the regular signature print). What size bag is yours? Can you post pictures in the Authenticate This thread?

Judging by the dimensions of coach.com with their current line of Carlys, it should be a Large. My camera is being stupid so that's why I didn't post in the Authenticate thread. Hope that helps someone help me though!
Many thanks for any tips/pointers.

Hi, it's hard to tell without pics. Hopefully your camera will cooperate soon! What color is your Carly?

To keep the the original topic of this thread, is it safe to say, as an authenticity tip that Large Carly bags never have more than 4 full C's across in the signature print? (I've never seen an authentic one with more).

@Coach12, try the Authenticate This thread.

I was browsing thru Bonanzle and came across a Seller's Booth who appears to have a few "vintage" Coach pieces. I considered posting these in the "deals" thread, as the seller has an upcoming 25% sale coming and some of the prices seems pretty "reasonable" however, I don't know much about authentication of Coach bags and wanted an "expert" opinion before I post anything.

Could someone take a look at a few of these pieces and give me your opinion? TIA!

Her Coaches seem to be ok although the creed stamp pic of the tan Station Bag sure doesn't look like a tan interior to me. Maybe someone else can take a look since I'm totally unfamiar with color changes in digital photography. Also her "Sonoma" is actually a Hudson but it looks genuine.

thank you!! I actually posted them in the other thread before I saw your reply -- do you think it's OK to post them in the Deals/Sales section then?

As long as you suggest in your post that someone at the Authenticate This thread looks at them first. There are a LOT of very convincing "classic" Coach fakes out there and it's very easy for a seller to buy one by mistake.

thanks -- I'll do that.
her prices seem reasonable to me
and with an addtl 25% off, they seem
like they might be good "bargains"
but as I know nothing about Coach, I wanted
to get the opinion of someone who knows more
