Hi. I purchased this bag at Goodwill several months ago before I nrw anything about Coach bags. I almost positive it is a fake. The hardware looks super cheap. View attachment 4205137 View attachment 4205138 View attachment 4205139 View attachment 4205141 Can anyone confirm?

Yes, it's fake. I can't read your very blurry creed picture, but I've never seen that embossed "leather" and the logos on the hardware are wrong. Plus the hardware is too thin.

Good morning ladies could you please authenticate this City bag?

Item: vintage coach 9790 burgundy glove leather city flap cover x-body
Item number: 173525477169
Seller: kapeed-2012

Comments: I've seen a few bags with the M plant in the US and others with the M plant in Costa Rica. Was there a switch at one point?

Thanks!

I also had one but mine didn't have a tag so I don't know the style number either.

I don't see anything indicating that the poppy wallet/wristlet isn't authentic. It looks good to me.

I had a similar Poppy wallet/wristlet in another colorway. Unfortunately, it was a long time ago before I was authenticating and didn't save the style number. I agree that it is very confusing with all the other similar stuff in the picture, and we need more pictures.

Yes I'm sorry thats the only picture that she sent me and I had to crop out the one wristlet because of everything in the background so I apologize I try to get in touch with her to send me more pictures of everything and and she hasn't responded it's someone I know locally and I have similar wristlets like the same style just different colors but I could not find this particular color and it's so frustrating because I don't want to buy it if I can't get it off of The Catered but I will get some more pictures to you hopefully today thanks so much for responding

It looks good. It seems that the M plant code was used by two plants at the same time.

Thank you! Another question, do you know if the bag came out in burgundy in 1997 or maybe this bag color is mahogany? The seller is not quite sure of the color.

I just want to make sure my photos are working for authentication above. I noticed requests posted after mine have been authenticated and I’m at work and I’m getting “X” for my photos but I don’t know if it’s because I’m at work (so it’s blocked?) or if it’s because I’m having issues with posting photos.

Im on my phone and the upload feature isn’t working as well. I will admit I’m a little spooked knowing the description is stolen and the style is being faked. Hindsight is 20/20 and i wish I had the brains to come here first before spending so much and what could be a fake.

Please, please, please don’t take this as me being impatient. Take all the time you need. I just want to make sure I’m being as helpful as possible on my end to make your side easier.

I know this is a very thankless task you do for all of us out of the goodness of your hearts. And I really do appreciate it and can’t thank you enough for it.

I think it is mahogany. I'm not seeing burgundy as a 1997 color.

I'm not sure if it's possible to authenticate this, but I've never heard of a "market sample" and wanted to get opinions. Not really looking to purchase - just more curious than anything. Personally, I think the bag itself seems Coach-like and the description of "closes without fasteners" makes me think of the Laurel that just came out, though this one would be a decade old if it WERE an actual sample at all based on the creed. But that seems a big if that someone would have an actual sample bag - or maybe I'm just not that worldly to have awareness of that.

I've never seen a tag like that but the style looks like this: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/does-anyone-know-any-info-about-this-new-madison-bag.408159/ Bonnie Lady Bag #13385. It might be okay but I don't have any comps. More opinions are welcome.

Wow - that looks like a great match and the timing is right. Huh - I guess I was wrong to be so skeptical of "market sample." Thanks for the info!

I was wondering about the G33 I hadn’t seen that before I wanted to make sure it was authentic.

We need to see pictures of the bag as well. If it was listed online, we need the seller's name and a link to the listing.

Here is a photo of the outside I posted a photo with flash to Hyacinth. I hope this helps. I bought it at Goodwill (for $7!) so there was no listing.
