2nd:
Coach Willis Medium 9927, made in china




the only thing that has me scared on this one is that it's made in China. I thought these were USA and Costa Rica produced.

Nope, they were made in China too.

I believe that bag is authentic but please wait for confirmation.

That's a really strange font on that creed and the only other bags with that prefix are Willises. I wonder if it looks that way because this was early in China's entry into the Coach market.

This is a previous authentication request for an identical bag:

3rd one is either really old, or possibly a fake.
Item: Coach Flap messenger bag- 449-1126, Made in NYC




It is a quality bag (albeit dirty and worn). I'm hoping is real, so I can try to restore it.

4th:
I saw this one in an earlier TPF authentication post, but couldn't see the photos
Small Coach NY leather handbag, creed E8E-4187 made in Italy:

Both look fine.

Coach Soho Signature Hobo






I can't find anything to indicate this is fake in any way. so, it probably is.
Thanks again!

Only one picture is showing.

I'm not feeling any red flags w/this one either.

Coach Janice Legacy (Janice's legacy) 9950 Made in Hungary



The zipper on this (and some on my older bags) is a bit greenish-it's easily cleanable, but I don't want to waste time cleaning fakes for the trash.
This bag appears pretty legit though (IMO).

@BeenBurned,Regarding the Willis- it is a deep Creed stamp for a vintage bag. (compared to most vintage bags) IMO. Yeah, a little odd. But I'm relatively a newbie, so that's why I'm seeking your expertise.
I really do appreciate it.
Oh, and I'm leaving my Photobucket Purses/bags section public, for my own reference, and anyone else interested, as well.

Make sure your pictures are showing and that you're using the IMG link in PB.

Coach Bean Bag?
The Creed is so worn on this one, even with my readers and a flashlight I can't make it out. Looks like the serial # is 576...It's also bothering me the shoulder strap clips are a very silver toned finish while the toggle is brass, and the stitching is a bit wonky...

This one is fake. There are a few authentic bags with "bean bag" creeds but this isn't one of them.

Ugh. I'm a dumba**. I copied the URL, them moved them, so I wouldn't confuse them. Will fix, sorry.

 

[Morrigan3]

Thanks Whateve. I thought there were too many issues w/ the Bean.

This is the lynn creed:


I'm going to have to go through and re-link everything.
This is the album 7 sub-albums.
Sorry.

That serial number 4437-576 is also on Part 2 of the Daria48 Fake Coach numbers List posted at Ebay
http://www.ebay.com/gds/Fake-Coach-Serial-Numbers-Part-2-/10000000179041909/g.html

"4437-576 -

this always-fake number is showing up in many 1980s and 1990s styles, even in bags with Bean Bag creeds. Every one so far has been fake, and it's a good example of what a fairly accurate fake Bean Bag creed and serial number look like - see my Guide on the latest "Bean Bag" information. (added Oct 2014) "

It's ok, I've seen at least 2 others with the same or similar serial numbers and fonts.

MORRIGAN3, it's not "vintage" it was just made in 2003. You can't compare stamps from different plants and years, they're ALL different.
