Hello everyone! I have several bags I'd like to have authenticated from recent thrift shopping trips. The first is an XL Duffle sac measures 9" x 9' at the bottom, 15" across at the top and 13 1/2" tall. It is missing the strap.

The second is a Stewardess Bag 11" long x 10 1/2" tall x 4 1/2" deep

And the last is a Dinky 9" long x 5" tall x 1 1/2" deep.

Hello again,
Jane here, and I just wanted to know if this Coach purse is authentic or not.
I got it at a yard sale for only $1. It looks authentic to me, but i want another pair of eyes to take another look.
Thank you as always!

It's an authentic signature duffle from 2006.

And in case there's concern about the run-on words (genuineleather), that was found on this style of bag from several of the Chinese plants in 2006. (I've found it with the 5 plant, the 82 plant, the 85 plant, and your bag from the I plant. I'm not implying that this list of factories is complete but just that the run-on text isn't a red flag in this case.)

Hello there...hoping you can authenticate this for me...bought online at my fav site...I do trust them but as it came in a plastic bag with no dustbag I just want to make sure Im getting the right product.
Hope the photos are good enough...fitting a tablet in this mini was a bit of a tight fit. Hope you can see the made in Vietnam ...it was a bit hard to photograph. Please tell me if they are not clear enough photos and I will try again. Thank you

Welcome to tPF!

They're all genuine, the first one is a Court Bag and the other two are Soho Belted Pouches.

My mistake. The downside of cloning past listings for format when creating new ones and not thoroughly proofreading the completed listing for accuracy. Though there are some who say that when COACH opened their Florida plants in 1987 or so and transitioned away from the MADE IN NEW YORK CITY USA creeds, that the NYC plant modified their stamp to MADE IN USA (as opposed to the MADE IN THE UNITED STATES stamps that appear on other bags), there's nothing official out there that confirms this position. So the listing should (and will) be edited to reflect the info shown on the bag's creed stamp. Thank you.

Very nice looking bag here. I am a bit tempted. The seller is claiming in made in NYC. Do you see something here to indicate this definitively? All I see is made in USA. Your thoughts??

The bag is authentic. I was going to say the same thing. No one knows for sure whether the use of the "made in USA" stamp means it was made NYC.
