AUTHENTICATE This COACH

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

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:

    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.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
  • Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.
  • Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
  • Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.
  • Please utilize the "Quote" feature when responding directly to another post.

I'm curious about this listing. I don't believe it's made by Coach.

The serial font doesn't look right for the April, 1999 C plant.

Yes, fake. I'm seeing silver grommets too.

Another problem is that the 9144 Legacy Studio Flap wasn't introduced until Spring of 2000 so the date code D9C- in the fake's prefix is a full year before the bag was even made.

REMINDER:

Per purse forum rules, sellers are not allowed to post links to their own listings for authentication.

Here on the Coach authentication thread, we don't mind helping sellers stay honest but if sellers need help verifying authenticity of an item, please limit it to posting pictures of the item.

Exception: If you (as a seller) have an item questioned here or through a buyer dispute, you are allowed to add pictures and/or show the listing if necessary pictures are in the listing.

That doesn't mean it is fake. That is how the creed should be for this style. I can't really read enough of the creed to be absolutely sure but I don't see any problems. It is A1D-9206, not A10-9206. Are you absolutely sure of the measurements? That sounds too big for this style. It should be more like 12 inches long x 8 inches tall.

Thank you! You're right, my measurements were incorrect--must have been tired!

    I am unsure what I am missing.
    -There is no creed stamp or serial number (Post 2014 bag)
    -Ad was pulled before I could link
    -There are no tags included in the bag except for the "coach" tag

What site did you buy it on? What is the seller's ID? On most online selling sites, listings are still viewable even after they end.
