So the rings on the sides are square and rings in the bag Hyacinth posted are round? If it was a pilot or test bag, they might not have gotten everything the same.

Correct. Would a pilot bag have a style code ending with a P? Or is that less likely to see in the older styles?

Hi, could someone please authenticate this bag?
Item: Coach Vintage Stewardess Bag 9525
Item #223132342592
Seller: shyrla147
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...342592?hash=item33f3b95940:g:JkMAAOSwMPxbkB1b
I see that the seller only has five feedback ratings. Her other bag sales are similar. Is that a red flag?

Hi I'm new to this (or any) authentication thread. At the suggestion of a wonderful tpf'er, it was suggested that I put up my 3 recent vintage Coach purchases as the seller has been known in the past to have non-authentic bags for sale on ebay. Here are pics of the exterior and of the creed the best I could take of them. Your feedback is most appreciated!!!! And thank you Fingers crossed!

Post Pouch (Willis?)

They're all genuine, and the names are correct although the name Willis was never used for the Post Pouch.

Please refer to post 1, page 1 for posting info needed for requests!

If possible, please post links to the listings.

It's authentic. I don't see anything about the seller or her other listings to worry me.

ETA: I found a fake in her completed listings: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-CO...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Ok, good to know. Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it.

2. Coach Bonnie Cashin Purse, Coach USA, Tan, Brown , Shoulder Bag
Seller: crazygoodbananas

Pics are included in the links.
First time posting. Hope I get the format right!

Both are authentic. The first, the unknown Dakota style, is probably from the early 90s. The second is not a Bonnie Cashin. It was made between 1989-1993. It is a big rehab challenge unless you are planning to dye it.

Since @whateve brought up a listing of a fake in a seller's completed listings, I'll mention one also. (Personally, when given a choice between sellers who only sell fakes and sellers who mix, I find it more frustrating to see sellers who mix authentic and fake items because buyers don't know whether to trust such sellers.)

Although the bag JuliaAnn90 asked about is authentic, the second Etsy seller, crazygoodbananas also has this fake and clearly doesn't verify her items:

It's authentic. It was called a companion flap.

You are awesome, thank you!

Good evening. I am rehabbing a very rough Sheridan Mayfield bag and had gotten in the COACH hang tag below with a previous purchase that I think will work very nicely for the replacement of the missing Sheridan hang tag - I like the rivets and the tan leather color. Can you please confirm if the hang tag is authentic for me? And if it is authentic, what COACH bag it originally belong to? Thanks so much.

That's a gorgeous hangtag! I believe it came from the 2007 Legacy Thompson line. Like in this listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-...673202?hash=item5912461932:g:O94AAOSwky1bkX3K

it's authentic. I don't have that exact wallet in my files, but I have similar ones from the mid 90s.
