This Coach Bean Bag looks fake to me. Quality, creed & hardware are off. I'm not an expert, don't want to report before checking.

Hello,

Could you authenticate this Ali for me? Not a lot of photos provided unfortunately, but a clear one of the creed.

Thanks in advance!

That one is fake. The serial number, 308-9875 is also a known invalid number.

It's fine.

Thank you Hyacinth. I'm putting notes to myself in my bags that I've had authenticated so I won't have to wonder about them. I didn't know about this page before I purchased some of them.

That's a good idea. I keep a small Post-It in some of my pre-1994 bags with the style name and number.

Item name: Some Signature Soho?
I bought this from a local consignment shop. The price was too good to pass up and there was another lady eyeballing me waiting for me to put it back.

Thank you. I might go back for the other bag I saw!

Mini signature convertible duffle.

Hmm. Your bag is a MFF item from 2007. In 2010, Coach made a similar one with a Z style number for the discounters, style 15222.

Genuine Chester Bag, style 9901 from around 1992.

My bag arrived today and I'm a little concerned. I absolutely trust your authentication, but maybe it's a really good fake? It's in perfect condition, not a mark on it, which seems strange for being 24 years old. The hang tag is only leather on one side, but I suppose it's possible that it split. My biggest concern is the interior. It just doesn't look or feel like my other older bags. The suede is very smooth, and the inside of the interior pocket is white. I'm new to this so maybe it's just something I've never seen before. It just seems too good to true for as old as it's supposed to be. Please let me know what you think.

I don't see any problems, those details and differences have been seen before.

Wait for more opinions.

I don't see any problems either. In my experience, very small bags often look almost new even when they are vintage. I figure they are too small for anyone to use on a daily basis. Older hangtags were one sided, with suede on the reverse. In the later 90s, they started gluing two pieces together to make a double sided hangtag.

Thanks for the information. I've still got a lot to learn. Just glad to know that it's legit.

Hi, all! I found this goodie at a thrift store and am wondering if it's authentic. Since it's so small, I had a really, really hard time getting a photo of the creed and serial number. It appears to say Made in New York City as well.

Let me know what you think. Maybe I have a treasure!
