I just checked it and it's working ok at the moment, just keep trying the link. Much of the information in the Guides is aimed toward the classic and vintage style Coaches, so I hope it's useful.

or try this one and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "see all guides"

Thank you, Hyacinth. Found them all, saved them all for further than study.

There are pictures of two different bags there. One is a convertible clutch and the other is a pocket purse. The first three pictures are of a convertible clutch. The rest, including the creed, are for the pocket purse, which is authentic. Some of the pictures came from this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-BLACK...314826?hash=item3ad720330a:g:H8UAAOSw4GVYNRuz

Thank you. I don't feel like messaging the seller to fix it so I'll pass.

Genuine, 1995 Willis and 2001 - NOT 1980 OR vintage !!!!! - City Bag Spectator.

Like we keep saying, don't ever expect every seller to know the name, age, designer, etc of a Coach bag. But sheesh - 21 years off?

Hi there, anybody could help me to authenticate this coach bag please? I got this bag from a friend of mine since she's moving out of state. The creed# 056-6159. Thank you in advance

We still need to see a photo of the creed and serial number because the actual details of the stampings are important. I know it's hard in smaller bags but if you read the first post in this thread for the requirements for authentication, that's one of them along with the bag's measurements.

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/

"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..."

It's probably genuine since I don't think that particular line of bags was faked because of the unusual snaplock, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks Hyacinth! That's why we get them authenticated.

Item: satchel/cross body
Creed: C1388-25058(?)
Link:
https://item.mercari.com/gl/m399957457/
Comment: ID too please?

It was called a Poppy Edgestain Large Flap Satchel. I can't find any comps and it isn't my area of expertise so I'll refrain from authenticating.

I think the bag in the Mercari listing is authentic. (After reading the rest of the posts, I'm not sure you're still interested in it, though!)

Thank you so much!! Just bought it! Wasn't going to buy at listing price and after your post went back to see price dropped to $80 shipped. I basically stole it before the negotiating person came back to buy. It wasn't reserved so.. It's mine!! Woo hoo!

 

[Pursehangers]

Thank you for your help Hyacinth. Here's the dimension
Measurements: 7.5" L x 2" D x 5 3/4" H
Shoulder strap drop: 22
And I attached the picture of the creed. Much appreciated.

It's an authentic Chrystie bag #9892, made in the early 90s.
