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.

Thank you again, so early 80s it's perfect.

It's genuine.

 

[SEWDimples]

It's genuine.

Thanks Hyacinth. I appreciate your expertise and time. What year was this made?

 

[SEWDimples]

It's authentic. It's probably black. It could be navy. The navy back then was so dark it is really hard to tell from black.

I ordered this bag. The seller said it was black, plus it has the anchors on the hardware and the hang tag. It was a good deal because I received $5 off. Thanks again.

Thanks Hyacinth. I appreciate your expertise and time. What year was this made?

The year code looks like 1999

Hello!

Comments: the seller had a variety of things wallets, purses and keyrings, but I was thinking whether they were authentic ? (all the Coach key rings) because she has so many to sell all at once. Sorry the photos aren't the best

For some reason only 2 of the seller's photos are showing for me. Did you buy them yet?

I can't help with the Michael Kors, try their regular authentication thread.

We need better pictures for the Coach items - close-ups of the small metal hangtags and the fronts and backs of the charms, and we need to see the chains extended full length to check the charm placement and the size of the links. If those are the only pictures you have, we'd really need to see more. THE 2-PIECE COACH KEYCHAIN BOXES CAN BE A RED FLAG THOUGH. We'd also want to see the sides of those boxes where the label is usually pasted especially the white box with the brown trim. The color of the chain on the Cosmetic Mix worries me, the metal looks dull and grey-ish insread of bright silver, and the size of the links isn't clear enough in that photo.

If you can get large individual pictures of front and back of the cosmetic mix, the heart lock and the photo fob (also an open pic), that would help.

The pom poms look good.

I added a few more lines to my post.

I added a few more lines to my post.

And I'll add that the cosmetic fob and the heart lock are both very closely faked.

And the fakes are often in boxes just like that with that tissue paper. I wouldn't take a chance on them unless you can get better pictures for us to be able to tell for sure. From this angle, the heart lock doesn't look good.

I'd avoid this listing from Cathy on Gumtree.

Compare her cosmetic mix to my own comps.

First I compare a fake to Coach's own stock image. Second comp is that fake compared the Cathy - Gumtree picture. Notice that the fake has the same "off" differences as Cathy's keychain as well as the same box.

Fake compared to Cathy's:
