Please authenticate:
Item: Vintage Coach Brown Leather Small Crossbody Handbag

Comment: Creed blurry, can't read, but serial number font looks weird

I see a problem with the strap too.

Here's a PROVEN fake Willis from my files, compare the creed and serial fonts and the indentation in the first line of the creed. All the fonts and details are identical. The serial number is on the Always Fake part of the Daria48 List - 012-3445.

and here's the fake you asked about, if the creed wasn't so worn down in that spot (accidently or deliberately) I bet it would say "SCRTCHES". And I have several others:

Hi Everyone, Long time for me & hope all is well! i picked up this little spell bag & was wondering if it was genuine. About 6 3/4" tall x about 5" across the bottom. The creed inside reads J4K-5123 United States. Straps are about 22" long when the purse is fully cinched up. Color looks orange. Thanks for the help!! :heart::biggrin:DSCN4798.JPG DSCN4800.JPG DSCN4802.JPG DSCN4809.JPG DSCN4811.JPG DSCN4812.JPG

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.
  • Please utilize the "Quote" feature when responding directly to another post.
