Hope this helps....the 2 pieces of leather do not meet and therefore you can see daylight between them.
I rally appreciate the time you are spending to answer my questions. Thank you

Ask as many questions as you need. I've seen that before on authentic bags. It may have stretched from use.

This bag is in my possession and would like to know if it is indeed authentic before I put much time into cleaning it up.

Thanks in advance for your help and please let me know if you need more pics.

Hi all, wondering if anyone had a chance to review this purse. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

I apologize. I'd intended to come back to this one and forgot.

The bag looks fine.

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.

Came across this bag when searching for other items, and I've found conflicting info on its possible background. All I know is I love the finish, feel, look and even the smell, regardless of its history. Info as I see it: Coach Vintage NYC 633-2939 classic shoulder bag, turnlock, adjustable shoulder strap. Interior pouch w/Zippered closure, second outer pouch with smaller third slip pouch at turn closure. 1980's stewardess bag, British tan??

Authentic stewardess. I'm not sure about the color. It might be tabac or saddle. It doesn't seem orange enough for British tan. After you dunk it, you might be surprised at how much the color changes. Visit out rehab club here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/

Item: Gramercy Wallet (Made in Italy, 1998?)
Source: Local Consignment Store ($19)
Measurements: 3.5" x 5"

I found this in a consignment shop today and it looked like a genuine Italian Coach wallet to me but I couldn't find a label or a stamp that said "Made in Italy" so I was unsure but I bought it anyway. I examined it closely when I got home and finally noticed the writing and "Italy" stamp on the fastener for the snap! I have an Italian black gramercy zip 7001 bag from 1998 and this looks like a companion accessory but I haven't been able to find anything about it and it doesn't have a suede lining like the bag. I tried the Wayback Machine but came up empty.

Please share your opinion about authenticity and any information that you might have about my new little wallet, thanks!

 

[Ravvie99]

Would you kindly authenticate, please?
Also, I think this bag is painted - feels very plasticky and there are 2 drip marks! Ugh! Have you seen anyone successfully return to Mercari?

Item: Beaumont
Seller Id: Svelte1962

Comments: did this originally come with a thicker strap? This one's only 1/2"

It's genuine. A lot of small accessories don't show where they were made. It's a Gramercy style, I own the same one but don't have a name for it, but in the Madison line it's called a Continental Clutch so it's probably the same style name for the Gramercys..

Authentic. I don't have a catalog page for it but I've seen this wallet IRL. I suspect it was called something like Gramercy continental clutch since it is organized like the Madison continental clutch but that is just a guess.
