Hi—I love this forum! I browse it every so often even when I'm not shopping. I've carried a black Court bag almost daily for the last three years and am looking to buy another Coach. Would love to know whether the following are real.

Authentic vintage Coach crossbody, light brown
Burgundy Rambler
Green Willis bag

And one Court; I have never seen that "c" mark to the side of the creed before?

Thank you so much for your time and assistance.

Welcome to TPF.

All are authentic. On the 4th listing (Court), the bullet stamp (when on authentic bags) indicates that the bag was originally a boutique bag but was sent to be sold at the Coach outlet. (Existence of a bullet doesn't mean the bag is authentic. Bullet stamps have been faked.)

For future requests, please refer to the first post of the thread for the posting format and necessary information:

Thank you, BeenBurned, for authenticating these items. I apologize for the improper formatting—will do it correctly in future and appreciate the kind heads up.

The info about the bullet is good to know and some fun trivia! In case anyone else is wondering what that means, here is the photo.

Hello kind authenticators, just a quick and may be silly question.
I imagine everything can be faked, so what about Coach shoes? Are they are faked as much as purses, less....?
I am thinking about getting some boots for this winter, and I am wondering if I should have them authenticated first or no need if they are sold as new on Ebay. TIA and no hurry on this one :smile:

I don't know whether shoes are faked as frequently as bags and accessories or if it's just that shoes aren't questioned as frequently so it doesn't seem like they're faked as much but they are faked.

It's a good idea to have them checked. (Very few sellers show as many of the necessary pictures as should be shown but from what I've seen, for a basic authentication, I can usually tell whether it's authentic or not.)

Thanks for your reply, there was no hurry...LOL
Regarding shoes and Ebay I do not know what to think when it comes to buying from the big sellers, not the person selling their own items. Those big stores seem to have the same type pictures, even if they look like different stores, and are located on opposite ends of the country, they only show one shoe and no pictures of the box, although some mention to be new in box. I guess when the time comes I will ask first. Thank again.

I think I've seen some of those listings you're referring to. (Advanceshoebuys or some similar name comes to mind.) From what I've seen, they seem to be buyers of closeouts, discontinued items and the like. I'm guessing that they buy directly from the manufacturers who liquidate end of season merchandise and broken size lots (where there's no longer a full supply of all sizes).
