Giving this a BUMP since I'm not familiar with recent styles.

Just guessing, but I don't think that wrinkling could be fixed. Did you buy it from Coach, or from a private seller? And if it was a private seller, was the wrinking mentioned or in the listing photos?

Purchased NWT from a seller on Poshmark. I asked her a bunch of questions & she was very willing to show me additional photos. She suggested the wrinkles weren't as prominent in person & that it could be smoothed out. I couldn't pass up the deal so I went for it :(

I've heard using a blow dryer on saffiano leather or ironing on low-heat over a cotton shirt can smooth wrinkles out?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if this is authentic? I'm thinking no.

Thanks!

So far I'm not seeing any red flags, maybe BeenBurned can spot something. What makes you think it's not right?

Btw, your first pic is showing the back of the bag, not the front.

Are you comparing the font to other bags from the same plant, month and year? If you're not, it's NOT a valid comparison.

It's authentic. The bag is exactly as it should be.

I've never done any rehab on saffiano, but heat is the way I would go.

Speaking of kinky stampings, here's one from a while back. Ignore the silver hangtag chain, the bag itself has brass hardware. Kind of looks like those K3H prefixes, doesn't it? Less squished together and with a different creed stamp but with the same font as K3H-

I have a similar creed in my files. It is a confirmed fake because it was found on the wrong style bag. I don't think Coach would ever have used a font that thick.

This purse is in my possession, could you please let me know if authentic and if possible name? Thank you in advance as always.

I have posted scans and pictures of the paperwork I got with a couple bags, as we talked last week. Sorry it took me so long. You can find it here and if you want me to post about it elsewhere, let me know.

The bag that it is about 8 x 7 x 2 inches

It's a genuine Legacy Small Zip.

And thanks for the scans of the vintage papers and inserts! The care recommendations sheet for vintage leather is especially interesting, even though our Coachies here have found dozens of other methods to bring life back to that classic leather, and should also reassure new rehabbers who might be worried about giving their vintage bags a dunking. :smile1:

I hope I did good getting these two very cute bags, after consulting the guides, but I still would love for the ones that really know, to take a look and also if they could, let me know what they are, I think the blue is a Regina, but not totally sure. Thanks!
