No, they won't fall apart. I think some reissues are nice. It might vary by color. I saw some black ones that looked terrible at the outlet a few years ago. Some of the other colors I saw were fine. I don't remember seeing a red. This isn't exactly red; it's vermillion, so it is a little orangey.

Genuine, it looks like styloe number 92482, called the Bonnie Pouch Charm. I think it was made some time around 2009.

I just have to add my editorial comment. I wish Etsy would enforce it's policy requiring items to be vintage (or handmade). If not vintage, Etsy should remove the listing! Although COFlatIronCoach lists it as "vintage item," it's nowhere near 20 years old and shouldn't be listed on Etsy.

I'm curious about this briefcase.
seller lindascoach
item number: 122450029223
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-COA...-Briefcase-Hardside-Made-in-USA-/122450029223

The serial number font doesn't look quite right as compared to other creeds from the same month/year/plant. In addition to the spacing and size differences, the "o" in No. is more oval on the known authentic ones vs. more round on the creed from lindascoach.

And for good measure, here's a C7H authentic creed, also the same font and spacing as the known authentic items.

I'm not comfortable with briefcases, and since there aren't any other verifired examples of that plant code being used in a genuine briefcase that we can use for comparison I'm not comfortable authenticating it. That H code has been all over the place and could possibly have been temporarily reassigned to a briefcase or business bag plant that already had a decent serial stamp with a standard-sized H instead of the oversized one we're used to seeing. Unless there are provable problems with the details of the case itself (which is a style 5410, not 5420 as the listing states) I personally wouldn't be comfortable reporting it.

Maybe NoShoePolish could take a look?

Thanks for looking. That's why I asked.

Item: Men's 1941 Gotham Crossbody
Listing number: 332189050499
Seller: lei.us2014
Link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/332189050499?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Comments: The creed picture I asked for is blurry as heck, but what do you think so far? Should I ask for a picture of the item number tag? I also find it kind of weird that there's a Factory pricetag with the F in front of the item number, but no bullet imprint on the creed.

I'll repeat again: The 1941 collection bags are well faked so adequate good clear pictures are especially important. Please request pictures of the made in label (both sides) and the white production tag.

Bulleted items are those that are made for the boutique but are subsequently sent to the outlets. For MFF bags, there's either an "F" in front of the style number (on items with the style number on the creed) or it shows as MFF on the white label for those bags that have them.

Just saw this bag come up on eBay and want to pounce since it's a color I've very rarely seen. The full description will be posted shortly and I will upload a photo of the creed once it's sent. Could you please authenticate?

Item: Coach Duffle
Item Number: 182543776783
Item Link: eBay
Seller: roma202119

It can't be authenticated without a creed picture. Creeds are essential, especially for highly faked styles, of which this is one.
