We need to see pictures of the purse too. If you bought it online, we need a link to the listing and the seller's name.

OK - sorry! Got it at a garage sale.

View attachment 4182403 Hope I am doing this right - first time . Have this purse and want to see if it is authentic. Maybe a Dinky Crossbody? The stamp picture is attached. It is 8.75” across and about 4.5” tall ( that is hard to measure because of the flexibility. 1.5” deep where the handle attaches. Help is appreciated!

Bumping to add tag from pocket.... TIA

I didn't respond to the first request because the pictures weren't adequate. Now that you've added the picture of the white tag, it seems okay so far but I'd like to see both sides of the "made in" tag.

From post 1:

• 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.

ATTENTION POSTERS:

As posted in the title of the thread, posters requesting authentications should read post 1, page 1 of the thread to see what is needed for authenticating your items.

If your request has been ignored, more often than not, it's because the request is missing some (or all) of the necessary items.

If the seller doesn't have enough pictures or the necessary pictures in the listing, please request them and add them to the post.

Here is the made in tag. I didn't realized there was two tags. Thanks so much for your help

I don't believe that the bag sold by kendre86 is authentic.

Compare the creed to an authentic creed from same plant ( but a year later). Note the puffiness of kendre86 's creed, the amount of space between the top of the patch and "Coach" and the size of space between the text at bottom and the bottom of the creed patch. The stitch length down the sides of the creed patch is different to:

The kisslock is backwards also:

ETA: Did you happen to notice that has another of the same fake?

DO NOT BUY FROM kendre86

So I received this message earlier today from this seller upset that her bags had been reported.

New message from: kendre86

"I took every one of those Coach purses you saw on my account to the Coach store and they confirm that they are real and for you to report to eBay that they’re fake and you’re not a expert and examining Coach purses."

(Typos all hers)

I then referred her here and even sent her a link so that she could read for herself why her bags were deemed to be fake. She later messages me this:

New message from: kendre86
"This person don’t know what’s real or fake either she took a mother listing to compare to the purse I’m selling if you gonna compare it then compare it with a purse from the Coach store like I did."
(I'm assuming she meant another instead of a mother)

I replied that the authenticators also have pictures in their files of bags they know to be real to compare to and I send her a screenshot from the Coach website under the counterfeit section where it says that employees do not authenticate merchandise. I also asked her if she bought those bags from a Coach store, Coach.com or the Coach factory outlet. She never answered me on that but I did then get this response:

New message from: kendre86
"I called Coach myself and talked to them and they said they can’t determine that over the phone that I’ll need to bring it to a Retail store and I did and they told me the bag is real and I been took them Tea Rose bags to a Retail store to see if they are real. I know they got the pictures from the other listing that’s on eBay they have no idea if that bag is real or fake. Are you telling me that these people know more about Coach purses than they do?"

My answer back to her:

New message to: kendre86
"Yes, I put more faith in the authenticators than a Coach employee. Employees are not trained to spot fakes, they are trained to sell bags. The authenticators on the forum have years of experience studying Coach bags."

After that I did not hear from her again. At first I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that maybe she had gotten the bags somehow and she really believed they were legit. But now that I see that she doesn't want to even entertain that her bags might be fishy, well then, you can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped [emoji53]

long time reader, first time poster. I pretty much can always authenticate coach bags just from entering the creed number.. this bag has me stumped. Its not a purse, but more of a pouch. It's not in a listing. I'm just wondering it this is authentic, and hopefully some help in identification. The leather is top quality, the stitching is top quality. The lock is like one you would see on a briefcase. and there are two keys. thank you in advance for any help. the interior is super strong some kind of nylon,, similar to that found inside tumi cases. the size is aprox. 11 wide by 8 1/2 inch high, and about 1.5 inch deep. ( i forgot to take exact measurements.

Hello! I found two coach bags at my local flea market. On this one the creed is flat and unreadable but I can see the number:

And this is the second bag I found at my local flea market. It’s heavy and sturdy feeling. Thanks in advance! Don’t want to take the time and effort to clean these up and keep if they aren’t real.
