Opinions? The logos look fishy to me. I can't remember ever seeing a logo other than a creed with "leatherware" inside the cartouche.

It doesn't look right to me either. The "Coach" font looks wrong too.

I've attached a picture of a vintage wallet I had. It's a different style but the cartouche is what I think it should look like.

BTW, did you happen to see this listing from lola362436 ?

(I wonder if the previous buyer recognized it as fake. It sold on September 17 here.

And she was posted here with a fake:

My own records show fakes were reported in 2016 too.

I'm not even going to try and guess. There are just too many variations with older wallets.

Thank you! I agree the logo looks wrong. If it is a vintage style, the logos are in the wrong places. They should be on the inside, not the outside. I don't recognize the style so I can't compare it. I didn't report it because there isn't enough glaringly wrong with it for me to be sure.

Hello! I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right spot or not, please let me know! Thanks for all you authenticators do. Your knowledge is invaluable! I have 5 purses I thrifted over a period of time I am unsure about. Do I post one at a time or more than one at once? For now I'll start with one.

This particular purse I am unsure about the name of it. It says Bean Bag on the inside. Here are the measurements, they are an approximate... length 8.75 inches, width 1.75 inches, and height 4.5 inches.

 

[Hyacinth]

Please post them one bag at a time, it's easier for everyone.

It's a genuine Dinky Bag, style 9375 and probably made in late 1990. The "Bean bag" in the creed has nothing to do with the style of the bag, it's a mistake made at the manufacturing plant.

So it's real? If so wow that is great news! Thanks so much! Why is the number in the inside not 9375 then?

 

[gmgoyke64]

Is this purse authentic?

I think it's a Carnival Bag
I purchased thrifting.
Length approximately 8-8.25 inches, width 2.5 inches, and height 5 inches.

Thanks!

The colors as shown on the tag aren't correct for the color of the backpack you received. And a dust bag probably wouldn't have come with a MFF item.

Please post a link to the listing from which you purchased. Before further comment, i want to see the listing.

Yes, it's a genuine Carnival Bag from 1996

Please read the Salearea Coach Guides, at least the ones on Creeds and on Serial Numbers posted here:

Good afternoon. Could someone authenticate this Coach on EBay. I usually buy Rebecca Minkoff but this Bleeker caught my eye. Sorry if this isn’t in the correct format.

Thanks for any help!

 

[BeenBurned]

Dear authenticators, I recently bought a Coach backpack and although the seller insisted that the bag is authentic, I'm highly suspicious, please help, many thanks!

If it's genuine, there are NO others like it. If fake, it's a "close" one. Personally, there are enough questions in my mind that if I bought it, I'd return because I don't believe authenticity can be proven. And I spent a lot of time trying to determine whether it could possibly be genuine.

My concerns:
1. Tag has incorrect color listed
2. Tag has incorrect style name
3. made in tag doesn't have "dot" for a MFF item
4. white tag format/font doesn't look right
5. creed isn't stamped in gold
6. Can't find another bag with "61" as the plant code. I don't believe 61 is a valid Chinese plant code.

Notice the differences in the following pictures.


I'm not sure whether the comparison picture in the middle is an original tag or if it was a remake at store level. I'd like to have found a better picture of the same style but was unable.
