Hello, ladies,
Could you authenticate this for me?

Item: COACH ZOE F12671 Black Smooth Leather Hobo Purse Shoulder Bag
Listing number: 273343988885
Seller: kkas_us_n7ihvuvh1
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-ZOE-...988885?hash=item3fa4924495:g:I1AAAOSwNDZbQWdd
Comments: Looks like it's missing the long strap. I just love Zoes!

Thank you so much!

According to my photo, that style never had a long strap. The bag seems genuine, but the brass hangtag is a very cheap fake.

The full price version of Zoes didn't come with a long strap, but many of the MFF versions did. The seller mistakenly put the F in the style number in the title even though she is selling a full price version.

2 - I've never found an ad for the skinny flight bag with the longer straps. They didn't make very many of these. Most have the shorter straps and a long removable strap. The longer strap version may have had the same style number.

Thank you, Whateve! I do have a Zoe that my sister got at the outlet with a long strap. I think I'm going to get this one. I love my Zoe, it fits everything, a perfect everyday bag IMO

Good afternoon! Could someone please let me know if this Asheville is authentic? It measures 13L at the widest point by 9h x 4d. If it is authentic, does the 7 in the creed mean 1997? Also, it came with paperwork to. Thanks so much and hope everyone is having a great Sunday.20180708_135605.jpg 20180708_135652.jpg 20180708_135709.jpg 20180708_135333.jpg 20180708_135740.jpg 20180708_135754.jpg

I'm trying to authenticate this wristlet, sold as a "Bonnie Cashin-era". There are no tags, no serial numbers. It looks to have the Mexican Stripe lining. The inside is off-white suede.
Thanks in advance! :smile: View attachment 4125431 View attachment 4125432 View attachment 4125433 View attachment 4125434 View attachment 4125436 View attachment 4125438 View attachment 4125432 View attachment 4125433 View attachment 4125434 View attachment 4125436 View attachment 4125438
It's not Bonnie Cashin era. It was made around 2006-2007. The lining is what was used in the 65th anniversary Legacy collection. It was a jewelry case. It's authentic. More opinions are welcome.

I agree completely with Whateve, that wristlet was made THIRTY YEARS AFTER CASHIN ENDED HER COLLABORATION WITH COACH! That seller's name and listing URL needs to be posted here as a warning to other potential buyers. Please supply that information since it's required for authentications as listed in Post Number One of this thread. If you bought it from a legitimate website based on the "Cashin-Era" description, you might have a valid SNAD (Significantly NOT As Described) claim at least with Ebay.

Don't ever believe everything a seller tells you until it's confirmed by experts. And be especially careful about any listings that use Cashin's name in the descriptions. It also wouldn't hurt to do some actual research about Cashin and her history and relationship with Coach, which ended in 1974.

And if you want to see what REAL Cashin linings look like, look through the posts in the Vintage Chat thread at the main Coach forum.
