I'm looking for opinions on this bag.

item 162627832221

Notes: The plant appeared (at first) to be an "N" but when enlarged, it looks like "H" however I don't think the stamping is correct whatever the plant code. Additionally, the zipper appears to be too short with the top of the zipper ending too soon.

All the J9H- bags we've seen so far have been fake, and this one has exactly the same font as the others. The top zipper pull isn't right either. And the genuine strap should have 4 holes on each end but this one has only three.

It is in my possession and was a charity shop find. The leather is very thick and tactile, hopefully this comes across in the pictures. The hand tag had split so I had to glue it with leather glue. Very much appreciated.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Hello.

I picked this up at a Salvation Army store and I know very little about it. From guides I've read (I think they were written by Hyacinth) it *might* be early 90's if real since the serial number is 4 digits - 3 digits with no letters and claims to be made in Italy. It does appear to have a bullseye imprint on the top right of the creed. I included a closeup on the magnetic closure on the underside of the front flap, if hardware is something that makes/breaks this.

Dimensions: 10" wide, 7" tall, about 2.5" deep, and roughly 55" strap. It's very, very black but my lighting and background aren't ideal. Getting the creed photo was a bit tricky (because it's a tiny bag and because I had to use flash to get something readable. The serial number is 1751-392.

Image order: Front (flap closed), Front (flap open, exposing closure), Closeup of male closing piece (magnetic snap), Creed, Back, Side, Bottom.

I hope I did this right - thank you in advance for your wisdom!

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.

IMG_1559.jpg IMG_1558.jpg Hello pals. Please help me look at my purchase from UK COACH official online store.
I just purchased from UK coach and shipped to my country by a forwarding company! I assume Coach UK sent their shipments from Netherland (because the return lable is to Netherland).
I ordered this DINKY #38185 in navy burnished glovetanned leather crossbody dinky and after i opened the bag, inner batch is 20215!!! How come? I don't really understand why, but i know there are some dinky has a inner batch 20215 (i have a western rivets dinky which has 20215 inside batch from Macy's US, but its a DINKY 24 the large version), but I couldn't understand this #38185 has a 20215 batch, its neither patterned or large size, its just a medium dinky ... please see attached for its website pic and the item i received! Even the dust bag was sent wrong! Its not a 1941 dust bag?! So strange. But im pretty sure i ordered from UK Coach official! Im so disappointed! I live in Australia, if i return the item i need to pay extra postage fee ship it back to my UK forwarding company and pay administration fees total will be 76 Pounds! :sad: what should i do? Anyone can explain to me if this is their fault or this is what a correct#38185 dinky ?! Without a 1941 dust bag:(? Thank you pals!

The creeds on these bags are nonsense and don't match the style number of the bag. I don't think there is anything wrong with your bag. I don't know why you didn't get the correct dust bag. I would contact them about that. Maybe you can get the correct dustbag from a local store.
