AUTHENTICATE This COACH So I recently bought my first coach bag from a person I known to be reliable and noticed that it doesn't have a serial number anywhere! The zipper says Ideal which I'm not sure what that means. Like I said, first Coach bag! But was told that It could be an older model and some dont have serial # In New York City bags. It also has made in Philippines in inside. . I just wanna know if I need tell this person to refund me my money if its fake.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.
Please follow the following rules:
- Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.
- This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:
Item:
Listing number:
Seller:
Link:
Comments:
- If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:
Item Name (if you know it):
Link (if available):
Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
- Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
- 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.
