I don't agree with you! I think it is fake. The creed has the wrong wording for the date. There are other problems with the bag and the creed.

oop, not experienced. I keep being surprised by really shiny leather, and I think that's actually what's not right, and I'm getting the impression it is. Sorry for the trouble. I am liking dark brown more than british tan atm and might post another.

I have tried editing 3 times and the link won't straighten out. You can copy and paste, sorry, the smiley doesn't affect anything.. weirdly enough.

This one is authentic! It's not your fault, the links sometimes translate into smileys and that screws it up.

Comments: I normally buy vintage Coach and have no experience at all with newer styles. Any help in determining if this is authentic would be appreciated!

Coach's classic and vintage leathers WEREN'T shiny and weren't meant to be. Having a genuine patina from age and use is not the same as being shiny, which often comes from things like oil-heavy treatments or worse yet, shoe polish. For me, shiny vintage leathers are a red flag.

Hi everyone! Found this at goodwill and it'll be my next rehab project if it is authentic. Could someone please take a look?
Thanks in advance!

It looks good.

Authentic, but probably not called Whiskey. Whiskey was a Legacy color, not Bleecker. That is probably British tan.

Thank you, Whateve. Are they all authentic, or just the Bleecker?

I only looked at the Bleecker. Let me look at the others.

Thanks @whateve!! I really appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

I have few bags, purchased some time ago at the same thrift store, that I would love to have authenticated. Actually, I am thinking that the black hobo might be a fake - it's just not holding up that well.
