Those pictures are inadequate and it's hard to tell whether the creed photo is even from the same item as the other 2 pictures.

Please request pictures from the seller showing the full front, back and the open interior view showing the pocket and the creed and full inside.

So far, there aren't any red flags assuming all the pictures are of the same item.

It looks good.

It's fine.

It looks good.

Thank you both!

I have seen the name of this bag spelled a few different ways so I tried to find it on the Wayback machine but so far I haven't had any luck.

Do you know if the name "Shelburne Flap Bag" is accurate and if that is the correct spelling?

Thanks again!

Here's a catalog picture that shows the correct spelling. Although I wouldn't put it past Coach to change the spelling. I think they did that with the current Laurel/Laural.

Fantastic, thank you!

I sure didn't need another "project bag" but the leather was so thick and smooshy and I'm a sucker for British Tan, and the bag was in pretty good shape, although it is missing the hangtag.

I was given this purse in the late 1980s or early 90s. Is it authentic and what is the name of the purse? The stamp inside (see photo) says 017-6131. Thanks!

Welcome. It looks good. It is a station bag #5130 from the time period you mentioned.

Item: Pink Coach Cross Body Mini Bag
Listing number: n/a
Seller: jessstl96
Link: https://bnc.lt/focc/OTf4Wa3T9S
Comments: From the interior picture it doesn't look like there is a creed patch in this one. I know some smaller styles don't have one. This is the first one I'm considering of the Poppy ones, so if there's missing info needed in the pics, I don't know what to ask the seller to supply. If more pics are needed, I'll contact the seller and resubmit this request.


Thanks for your time, and Happy New Year everyone!

Item: Coach Red Leather Wallet
Seller: Salvation Army
Measurements: 5"W x 3.5"H closed
This appears vintage, a nice quality leather. I was able to make out the word "Italy" on the snap. I would appreciate it if you would authenticate. Thanks

I work for a thrift store that supports a local animal shelter and I sell items on ebay for them. A lady had donated 2 older Coach purses. I know both have seen better days but I was just wondering if someone could authenticate.
Coach Purse #1
Item: Coach (not sure on style)
(Leather is coming apart at one end of the zipper. Green from brass on zipper has rubbed off onto leather interior. Strap handle is coming apart. I know some of the older coach bags had a leather strip with the serial stamped on glued to the bag. This one's is missing but it looks like there was something there at one point. I'll post 2nd on in another post.)

Alright here is the second one.
Coach #2
Item: Coach
(This one still has the long strap that attaches onto the purse. It also in worn coming apart on the sides. It also has green that rubbed off onto the leather from the brass zipper. The only thing that has me stuck on this coach purse in the serial number. It has eight digits with no dashes. I've read that there were a few purses made that had eight digits, I just don't know if that is the case for this one.)

This one is authentic. It looks like a basic bag but it is terrible condition!
