Hi all,
Please help authenticate this Coach Prairie bag.
This was recently sold from my personal collection (also an ebay purchase from a reputable seller from a couple of years ago) and the eBay buyer is claiming it's not authentic. Any help on this would be appreciated!

It is absolutely authentic. What are your buyer's concerns? You can direct her here if it would help.

ETA: I just noticed you are new to the purse forum. Welcome! Just so you know, it is against our rules to post links to your own active listings. Ended listings, like this one, are fine.

Thank you for your help and the warm welcome! I will direct your response to the buyer and see what she says!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you - phew!
That was us last year - starving and pacing around the oven. I bet yours turns out great and is worth the wait [emoji846]

Good morning everyone! I have a few items for authentication please

The first wants to be a Coach Shelbourne/Shelburne Bag 9038
9" x 9" x 3 1/2"



This one is hoping that it is an authentic Legacy Small Shopper 9086
12 1/2 x 8 1/2 x 4 1/2




And then there's this one.... I can't find anything that looks just like it online. The possible name I have put together might look like
Chelsea Signature Accordion Zip Wallet Clutch silver/gray
...but that's a guess. I know it was MFF so there might not be any record of it presuming it is real
7 1/2 x 4 x 1, coated canvas with leather trim

 

[missbaltimore]

oo and I almost forgot this one more

Both the Legacy Small Shopper and the Shelburne are genuine. I don't know enough about newer styles to be sure about the others, but they look ok.

Both newer items are authentic. The wallet is #F45674. I don't know the exact name but this style is usually called a zippy wallet.

Evening everyone!

Please authenticate...
I know it is factory and assume fakes don't stamp factory, but I wouldn't put it past them

Hi Everyone
My sister-in-law who helped start my Coach addiction sent me this link as a Christmas hint. Could someone please let me know if it's authentic and what the style and year is? FYI, no way can I buy a bag with all those ink marks!!! I’m going to search the style and year & hopefully find one in better shape that I can rehab for her. TIA!

It looks like a style #5230 Shoulder Brief from the late 1980s. But as the name implies, it's a briefcase, not a handbag. Is that what she's looking for? The measurements are about 16x11x3 1/2.

It won't be easy finding another one since you can't depend on what's stamped in the serial number to give you the style number, this style was made before style numbers were used in the serial number. You can try looking for " coach (shoulder brief",5230) " at Ebay using EXACTLY the words and punctuation I just typed but leaving out the quotation marks, but sometimes sellers of older styles don't know the exact name or style number.

Here's Coach's 1989 catalog page:
