Can anyone tell me the name of this briefcase style and perhaps a guesstimate of how old it is? I've rehabbed it, but I can't figure out what the official style name is. Not sure where the best place on the forum is to ask. Thanks!thumb_IMG_2464_1024.jpg thumb_IMG_2489_1024.jpg thumb_IMG_2491_1024.jpg thumb_IMG_2463_1024.jpg

Hello kind authenticators:
Item: Legacy Garcia Medium Bifold Wallet?
Size: About 5.5 x 4 x 1
Comments: Bought at a consignment store, I believe is authentic but I do not trust myself. If it is and you happen to know the style number, would be great. The little tag at the store said Style 12707 but that's a big clutch. TIA

Hi- I recently purchased this Madison Gracie 4413 but now I'm second guessing the authenticity. The serial starts with an "I" and I always thought coach skipped "I" when indentifying the month in their serial numbers. Please help!

Also the word only in the creed is different then some of other Gracie's I've seen online. Those have been from 1995 and this appears to be 1994 so not sure if that is the difference regarding the actual wording used.

My apologies regarding the format. This bag was not listed online so I don't have a link or name of a seller to reference. I am happy to repost in the format with the info I do have. Thank you.
 
  • Item: The Madison Collection "Gracie" 4413

    Comments: (redo from prior post) I recently purchased this bag and now I'm second guessing it's authenticity. I noticed the serial number starts with an "I" and I was under the impression based on research coach skipped "I" when using the letters to indicate the month a bag was made. In addition, I've noticed the wording is different than other Gracie bags I've seen online. The others were made in 1995 and this one is 1994, so not sure if that explains the difference in wording. Any insight /help would be greatly appreciated.

tem: Coach Space Rogue
Listing number:22741548
Seller: Tradesy seller name Peppa
Link: http://trsy.co/22741548http://trsy.co/22741548
Comments: I received this Coach Space Rogue from Tradesy listed as new. I believe it to be a fake due to the top handle no glazing on the edge. The luggage tag felt plasticity and does not hang right. Biggest thing was the leather shuttle patch in the upper left corner on the bottom of the shuttle is whited out. Here’s the link. Thanks for your help.

It's genuine. Sometimes Coach plants made mistakes in the serial numbers, especially non-US plants in the mid 1990s.
