Just opinions...

The first one, the red and cream 2-tone, doesn't look like any Coach bag I've seen and there aren't even any Coach logos. The enameling is really messy. Probably fake

second, burgundy, looks ok, style 1743 (which came in 2 different handbag designs AFAIK) and the logo on the base seems to match a set of my photos for a genuine Tote charm, a few are posted below

third, black, same style as the burgundy, looks ok.

fourth, nude - I agree about the off-center Coach logo on the base. Probably Fake, or really sloppy stamping, but the style isn't in my files (there was a 1K07 Tote 3-dimensional keyfob available too but it's very similar to the 1743 Tote Keyfob). If Coach made any other 3-dimentional charms besides the Top Handle in the last picture, I don't have them in my files.

Here are a couple more to add to your files. Unfortunately, my pictures are blurry/grainy from enlarging the stock images and it's all I have.

Ugh! She beat me! :smile:

See what happens when I don't finish reading before posting?

Thanks to both of you! And it's good to see pics from different angles.
 
This already sold but has a suspicious serial number prefix:
Item: Vintage Coach Chocolate Brown Leather Backpack 9791
Item #263846556432
Seller: mreyesgonzalez
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/263846556432
Comment: J6D prefix is on daria48 list, "often found in fakes," please confirm. Thanks!

ETA: Beware the redirect to a different item.

The date code in the serial number is also about 16 months BEFORE that style was even introduced. And there are 1 or 2 other problems too.
 
Please authenticate this thrift-store find. It feels like an authentic ergo (eg, the leather is soft and plush, the stitching is substantial) but I've never seen an E creed before. It measures 9 X 12 x 3. Thanks as always.

The only VALID E plant creeds are from Italy, that was their unique plant code from the very beginning until it was updated to "12" when plant codes were expanded to 2 numbers. We've seen quite a few fakes with USA creeds and I'm afraid this is one of them. The spacing of the words doesn't match that of genuine E plant creeds.

Below is a genuine one from the same month and year. At least I'm guessing that the year code is an 8, if it's anything lower that's even better proof that it's fake.
