It's authentic. (I'm not sure it's quite as old as the seller claims.)

It's from the mid 70s.

I think it is fine. I've seen it but I can't remember what it was called. Did you find the "made in" tag?

I did, Made in Philippines thin plastic tags tucked in one of the pouches. Thanks, Whateve!

I just bought this dark brown Station bag on a whim, without looking into its authenticity. Could somebody please confirm whether it is authentic? It was supposedly made in Costa Rica and the creed seems to have the right format. My main concern is with the hangtag, which is much different from that of a Court bag that I previously purchased. The font on this one is much boxier. Granted, the Court was made in the USA so I guess it's possible that there will be variation. Does anyone have insights into this? Thanks!

It's authentic. I don't see a problem with the hangtag. I think the letters were more distinct on older hangtags. Probably the stamping machine was wearing out.

Glad to hear. Thank you!

Comment: I searched the forum and found out this seller has a "history." And this bag has serial No. J8Y-9927, which I know is on the daria48fakes list. But I'd still like to get confirmation that it's definitely fake before I report it. Thanks!

Gosh, it's been over 10 years since I saw that ID!! (@Hyacinth, you must remember "IBEAWFUL," right?)

Yes, the bag is fake.

This 11-year old post is the first one posted about the seller and mentions the seller's lousy feedback:

ETA: And the seller has sold fakes in the past and gave buyers a hard time when refunds were requested.

Sad. It's amazing she's still allowed to sell on eBay.

Oh yeah. As soon as I looked at the post, that name just jumped out at me like a hungry tiger ambushing a deer. Hard to believe she's still kicking around, she must be part zombie.

Catbird9, if you have a list of sellers whose items you wouldn't touch, I'd recommend that name be added to it.
And if it has a J8Y- serial you don't need our confirmation. Report away.

Hello. Recently I bought this coach dinky tea rose. The seller said that it's her private collection which she barely used. Can anyone help me authenticate this? Thank you so much in advance.

Notes : I tried to snap some pics of the creed but none comes okay. However, the creed has a serial number at the bottom which is E1730-21585.

Thanks a lot!
Could you please tell me more about the model? I couldn’t find pictures on the internet. I appreciate your help!

LOL! I knew you'd recognize her/him!

I still had the window open and the bag certainly was fake with an invalid serial. Here are the pictures:


And for those who not only want to avoid buying from abawinful, if you sell, you want to add the buying ID, fatolabi to your BBL.

Not a city bag. It could be a convertible clutch. I can't tell for sure without seeing the corners and the inside pocket.

It was called a Berkeley saddle bag.



If a bag doesn't have any Coach markings, it is doubtful it was made by Coach.

Hello Whateve, thank you again for your help!! The bag a thought was a city bag is smaller than a city bag. If you have a moment, here are the photos of the inside and corners.
