1- I don't recognise the change purse at all. And although it looks as if something is stamped on one of the metal pieces holding the bow it's too small to read and it doesn't help that Goodwill stamped their watermark right over it. What little is even visible doesn't look like a Coach logo or name, the center letter should be an "a" and all I'm seeing in the photo is a vertical line. Maybe someone else will recognise it.

And whatever the "book" inside is, that couldn't be used to authenticate even if it's a genuine Coach insert. But a photo of it should have been included by Goodwill.

2 and 3- genuine, although #3 is a cosmetic case, not a wallet. It's probably from the early 2000s like the red Soft Legacy Small Backpack.

The red change purse with the bow looks like a Darcy Bow Framed Coin Purse. I don't know how it would be possible to authenticate it from the Goodwill photos.

The coin purse is probably authentic although Goodwill needs to rethink the placement of its watermark and should have clearer pictures.

Assuming authenticity, it's MFF style number, 63264.

Thanks very much--especially given the quality of the Goodwill pictures and information!

All are fine. 9142 was called a mini hippie, and the color was just called red. The color of the Janice is probably British tan. The shade that was called British tan varied quite a bit over the years. Tabac wasn't a color from the early 2000s.

Thank you!

Genuine, from the early 1990s

Why does it worry you?

Don't ever expect every detail on one style of Coach to be the same as on all the other styles. Coach changes details and Rules constantly. The ONLY time you can ever compare one bag's details with another, assuming they're both genuine, is if they're the same style made in the same plant, month and year, and even then there can be differences. The bag looks fine to me unless you can point out something wrong with it.

Thank you so much for the explanation. I was somewhat wondering about the buggy in the creed. I mean, it was not a clear embossed/stamped image.

Authentic. I don't know the exact name but it was made in the late 60s or early 70s and probably is a Bonnie Cashin design.

Thanks so much, Whateve. I really appreciate your expertise.

Comments: just curious about the creed. Does Coach not put the serial on it anymore? Just received this in the mail today. Love the metallic whiplash.

"Carriage", actually. I think buggies are usually open and only use one horse and seem to have been more common in the US, carriages can be open(?) or closed and will usually have 2 horses - England's rainy weather almost demands a top that can be raised and secured against the weather, that's one of the privileges of the up-and-coming middle and upper classes. Or at least that's the impression I've gotten from Jane Austen films.

ETA - And naturally, several websites I've just read say something completely different - that a Carriage is any kind of horse-drawn passenger vehicle. So call it whatever you want.

And the Carriage emblem has been on or in many Coach bags and other items for maybe 6 years now. You also have to look at the leather used for that patch. Highly textured leather like that is almost impossible to stamp and get as smooth an impression as you could on smooth leather

I have one more vintage Coach that belongs to me. I'm especially wondering about the holes on either side and if they're for a strap or hangtags. 11 x 7 x 2.5. Thanks very much!

It's authentic. The holes are for a strap. The bag was probably made in the late 60s or early 70s before they figured out that straps worked better with the sewn tabs and rings on the sides.
