Could someone please have a look at this charm?
From GW...Did I goof, or are there charms with no imprint on back?
Approx. 1.25" in diameter.
Any info always appreciated…thanks in advance!View attachment 3407091View attachment 3407092
I think it is fine. Usually there is only an imprint on the back if there is no logo on the front. It would be overkill to have it in both places, which is what we see on many fakes. More opinions are welcome.
 
Hi Experts,
I am considering these bags. Are they genuine?

1- genuine Transatlantic Weekend Carryall

2- I'm not comfortable with that bag. The fabric is showing some sort of ripple effect in the photos, the creed has no serial number but the other ones on Ebay with that style number DO have a stamped serial on the creed. A bag with that style number probably would have been made in 2013 and should be old enough to have a fully stamped creed.

The others don't have the metallic Coach emblem on the front of the bag either. There are also differences in the handles. If the seller is just guessing at the style number, that's not good enough. It might be a more recent bag but in that case we need to see the small white tag that's in the seam of one of the inside pockets for the correct style number and production codes. It's NOT a 23465 as far as I can tell.

3- seems to be genuine. The pair of hangtags is missing.

View attachment 3408748 View attachment 3408749 View attachment 3408750 View attachment 3408752 View attachment 3408754 Hello. Please help me authenticate this, and thanks in advance:

Coach Water Buffalo Slim Card Case
FS4664
3H00030312

That wallet was HIGHLY faked when it was new and in fact there were 2 others recently listed by the same seller in Glendale CA (which is a red flag just by itself) including one that just sold, and I have several reasons for thinking they - or it, if it's the same wallet - might be fake. Without having any photos in my files of a proven-genuine wallet in the same style, I'm not comfortable with it and have to consider it Questionable. If I find any reason to reconsider that, I'll post again. I'm also not comfortable with a supposedly 10 year-old wallet not showing any wear, if that is the same one as the one sold out of Glendale on June 30.

Please understand, there's nothing so far that proves it's not genuine, but past experience is what's making me very hesitant about authenticating it.

ETA - the outlet mark and Made In stamp are a point in favor of its being genuine, so I'm probably just being overcautious.

EATA - the only trustworthy photo I've found so far (and it's only of the front of the wallet) is on a BMW forum where' they're discussing sports seats and fat wallets (hey guys, get with the program and carry a Manbag!) and the photo details show it was originally posted at Inkfrog by a highly trusted Ebay seller. Scroll about halfway down:

The second one could be style #F36876. I'm not sure if the ripple effect of the fabric is just due to bad photos, and there aren't enough photos to authenticate in any case.
