Coach Edie turnlock
Thank you BeenBurned
Hi BeenBurned,

Would you please authenticate these Coach Swagger and Edie turn lock bags ? They are both private purchase so I don't have a link for them.
Thank you in advance.
I think both look okay but it's really helpful to know where they came from and the source of the "private" sales, even if at a thrift shop.

There's a reason why post #1 of the discussion asks for (and eventually will require) requests for authentications to include specific information as well as pictures.

Other opinions and comments are welcome.
 
Last one… Thank you all again!

I'm back! it's 3431 and is called fabric field wristlet from 2004. Your colors are fuschia and vermillion:

Authentic.

Darn! You Beat me to it!

It was called a TWILL Field Wristlet in the Spring 2004 catalog though. Just another example of Coach's infamous inconsistency.

Thank you both! This may be the closest I ever get to a double sided Cashin courier [emoji39] And those butterfly pins from the wayback machine pic are cute!

FYI, the butterfly pushpin is style 4366. They came in pinkish-purple, lime green and white. I can't recall other colors and those 3 are the only ones I have (crappy) pictures of.

Could someone please authenticate these 2 fruit key chains? Thank you in advance! Joodlz's post has given me key chain envy...

At times people on the forum have proven more knowledgeable about vintage Coach than Jed of Coach. For example, there is a style that several tpfers own that he has no knowledge of. I don't think he is in possession of much more information than we are, other than having all those fantastic old bags. The procedures and whys and whens weren't saved by anyone in Coach so we are all guessing.
OH! I SO TOTALLY AGREE WHATEVE!!!!!! Miss Debi the Restorer or Jed of Coach are NOT the Be all & End All.~~Especially after the debacle of buying up bags at DIRT prices & destroying them..Yeah- Go ahead & Bag Slap me Mods~ I don't have a mansion or a warehouse full of money..BUT I DO HAVE INTEGRITY..
I want to say a BIG Thank you to RL Bernstein for your insights & investigations. It is really refreshing to read your posts.Happy 4th of July Everyone! CHEERS! S.
 
Would you please take a look at these 3, too? Thank you! I need to stay out of the thrift stores…
