Could you please authenticate these recent purchases? Both are from a thrift store and are in my possession. Neither bag has a hang tag anymore, must have been lost to time. Please let me know if you need any more pictures!

First one is a small clutch (not sure of the style name?), measures 9x5x2. I was having trouble getting a good picture of the creed with my cell phone camera, but the serial number reads D2S-7785, if it's hard to read.

Second one is a Stewardess bag, which measures approximate 11wx9hx5d. I love it, I hope it's genuine.

Thank you!

They both look ok. The top one is called a Hamptons Leather Demi and both were made in 2002.
 
One more for the day.
Item: Coach vintage black doctor bag purse crossbody leather MADE IN USA speedy
Listing number: 112211580048
Seller: jgerbs
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/112211580048?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Comments: Please authenticate this Coach bag. TIA.

Genuine, but it wasn't called a Doctor Bag or a Speedy (which I think is a registered trademark of LV). It looks like a Broadway Satchel, style 9891 from around 1991-92.
 
Ugh! More!
If anyone feels up to it, the Secretary of State in Mississippi might be interested in knowing about Suthrnatmosphere.Com.

Seller was also on eCrater though I'm not seeing listings. It shows as "invalid ID" so she might have been booted from Ecrater:

Based on the error message, I believe there is a suspended booth on bonanza that suthrnatmosphere had.

So she peddled cheap Chinese jewelry from a barber shop/tanning salon next to her house before she moved to Brookhaven? She still has that cheap cwap in her Ebay listings, along with the same kind of religious geegaws - which of course make selling fakes and cheating, i.e., STEALING, from people perfectly OK. Just like all those "inspirational" messages on her sites, like Instagram.

Keep in mind, there are TWO Helen J's who lived in both towns, and are about 20 years apart in age. Mother and daughter, apparently. Hard to know who is running this little show.

Well, let the Feds sort it out, hopefully either Coach or Michael Kors will be contacting them.

I think a supposed Gramercy Satchel I bought online isn't genuine (stitching doesn't seem as thick as past Coaches I've owned, lining seems textured not smooth, creed seems odd) but I haven't bought a Coach bag in a few years ....can someone please Authenticate? The pics turned out orangey but the bag is actually a nice red.

AUTHENTICATE This COACH

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:


  • Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.
  • This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

    Item:
    Listing number:
    Seller:
    Link:
    Comments:


  • If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

    Item Name (if you know it):
    Link (if available):
    Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
    • Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
    • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
  • Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.
  • Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
  • Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.
  • Please utilize the "Quote" feature when responding directly to another post.
