Good Morning experts! Can you please authenticate these 3 bags for me? All in my possession and look okay to me but want to make sure.

I will post all three seperately due to the pic limit.

As always, thanks in advance!

I believe this item is authentic but I am curious about the box.
Vintage 80s Coach Red Leather Lipstick Snap Case +Mirror w/orig Coach box *RARE!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-80s...333031?hash=item58f1971767:g:q7EAAOSw4YdYz~rk

I've never seen that case (but will do a bit of poking around),

Although the seller describes it as "w/original Coach box" that box would never have been original to that case if the case were "vintage 80s" as described. If authentic, the case is probably 30+ years newer if it came with the box.

I can't read the bar code and label on the side of the box so I can't tell whether it's legitimate or fake (like the jack russell pave fake boxes we see.)

It's possible that the lipstick case is one of the following but I have no idea of their ages.

Fake. The Coach stamp is in the wrong place, badly stamped AND crooked, and the lining isn't right.

This one also proves what we keep saying over and over again - A ZIPPER STAMPED YKK CAN NEVER PROVE THAT A "COACH" IS GENUINE. Any so-called "authenticity guide" that claims it does should be ignored COMPLETELY. I hope you can pass that on to the FB group members.

Thanks, and will pass on the YKK info.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. I believe the lipstick case is from the late 90s or early 2000s. I have a picture in my files of 7196 with the original box, which is just the plain recycled brown box they used to use.

While that box might be a brown recycled one, there were brown boxes that were sometimes used. This is one example I found in my records. I don't have a shot of the label on the side of the box. (I have some other images somewhere but damned if I can find them. My point is that they used brown Coach boxes about 15 years ago.)

By recycled, I meant it was made of recycled paper. I have one that says "this carton is made from 100% Recycled Materials." You can kind of see that in the picture I posted. They used these boxes in the 90s and possibly in the 80s.

My guess would be around 2002 judging by the font and by the style number sequence. I'm too lazy to look through my 20 pounds of catalogs but the box looks perfectly fine so the number is probably accurate.

ETA - ok, so I was off by a month. 2001 Holiday catalog. No pics, sorry.

The hang tag font looks "off" and the chain links look thin and wrong.

Title: Coach Authentic 4pc Silver Keychain Lot Multi C, Silver C, Carriage Silver Coach

The links look like they were hit with a hammer. The enameling is very uneven too. It's fake. I've seen the style before I don't have any information about it. It might have come with a purse rather than sold separately.

I can't find anything like it, but my files don't have most of the ones from the last 2 years or so. But it REALLY looks cheap, and I can't see them using just a plain metal C with no decoration at all. I agree about the cheap chain too, and the chain should always be attached to the clip or keyring with a thicker ROUND chain, not just one of the links. I don't remember Coach using anything but smooth round or slightly oval links for the long chain either..

Some sellers just don't learn. I goofed in my post above. The ID I posted as the seller, ellistabryn was her Bonanza ID:

The seller's ID on ebay who listed the fake keychain was:
Ebay: huenefel_0 (3 )

The same fake was listed on Bonz:
Bonanza: Ellistabryn

So after both ebay and Bonanza removed the listings of the fake keychain yesterday, a new seller ID is now listing the same fake!! And based on the item locations and ID similarities, they are indeed the same person. (Will crosspost on the Hall of shame)

Seller - brynbaze4
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-C...-Coach-Muti-C-Silver-C-Carriage-/262905438425

Do not buy from Ebay sellers huenefel_0 or brynbaze4 or Bonanza seller Ellistabryn
