it looks good.

ETA: Please check post #1 of the thread for the posting format and info we need to see. We like to see sellers' histories and listings.

if the pictures you've posted are the item you received, my opinion applies.

I'm not sure which bag you bought from us_dudar but the listings don't have enough pictures to prove authenticity. And many of the seller's listings use Coach's own copyrighted images.

Sellers shouldn't be making unauthorized use of copyrighted works of others even if other pictures are the seller's own. JMHO.

Although the listing you've asked about is authentic kapeed-2012 has a previous (and now current) history of listing and mixing fakes.

My records show fakes were reported in 2016 and June, 2017.

And in fact, this is a current listing for a fake being sold by kapeed-2012. A seller of this many Coach items should have recognized this obvious fake one!

Am I reading this right? Is this bag 9014 for the link above a fake? I see a lot of them.

I believe it's authentic.

Other opinions are welcome. Perhaps someone has that item and knows a style number.

Hello ladies, I hope to get your expert opinion on these two vintage bags that I found at the bottom of my rehab pile, and I do not recall asking about their authenticity when I got them

Item: Stewardess?
Size about 11 x 10 x 4.5 approx
Item: Satchel?
Size 12 x 9 x 3 approx.

Thank you so much. No hurry... whenever you can.

Thank you so much Whateve, BTW how are you? It's been awhile since I visited this forum.

With the glue serial, could I estimate the satchel to be from around the late 70s, early 80s?

I'm very well, thanks for asking! Some people think glued in serial numbers were used in the late 70s. I'm of the opinion, and a few others agree with me, that they were used from around 1980-1983.

Item: "Coach Signature Embossed Silver Leather Shoulder Bag
Listing number: 282786470236
Seller: erebus42
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/282786470236
Hi! I'm new to purseforum and boy, am I glad you guys are here. I have a bad feeling about a Coach bag I just bought. I had one of those "gotta have this" moments and didn't research all the authentication tips before buying this bag. I haven't even received it yet and am thinking I may have made an idiotic move. This little bag has embossed leather, yet all the logos are all over the place. They don't line up at all. Most of the other things about the bag look authentic but I still can't figure it out. The seller's got 100% positive feedback and I'll only be out about $60, but I'd still like to have someone here have a look.
I've bought three other Coach items off eBay and have had good success with them. This one, though, has me stymied. If someone would please have a look by following the above link, I'd appreciate it. If you don't want to comment until I actually take my own photos, I understand and can wait. Thanks!

It appears to be an authentic metallic leather top handle pouch. Many pouches (and other small accessory items) don't have creeds. The optic signature pattern does overlap and isn't centered and aligned.

I don't know what the style number of the pouch is but I don't see any problems.

Wow—thanks SO MUCH for your quick reply, BeenBurned! I feel a lot better now. I usually know to look for most of the usual hallmarks like good stitching, quality hardware, inside lining materials, etc. But this is the first time I’ve bought a bag with the logo all over it (I usually like plain- colored leathers). I really appreciate your help!
