Hello ! I was given these 3 bags and I was hoping someone brilliant could identify the styles? The first one is a vintage bag and I'm not certain if it's authentic? Thanks so much, I appreciate any imput !

I don't think it is authentic either.

What are your thoughts on the vintage bag?

I already responded. I said I thought it was fake.

I agree.

Although the serial number on your bag isn't one of the more common invalid ones, it has been seen before. One of the red flags we see is when a supposedly random serial number is seen on more than one bag. In this post, the same bogus serial number, 1110-119 is on another fake:

ETA: And here's a listing on Poshmark for another fake with the same number:

LOL! Look at the last comment on that old listing!! That poster can't make comments there any more!

ETA 2: BTW, I am not a fan of Poshmark and won't authenticate listings from that site and I always recommend against buying from the site.

??? Did I insult you somehow? Why don't you think we are nice and informative?

She told you it was fake! What more do you want?

Understand that those of us who post here do so on our own time. We do it without any compensation and find time between family, jobs, obligations, and real life in order to HELP so buyers don't get screwed.

And the sad thing is that often, instead of a grateful "thank you for your expertise," we sometimes have to put up with rudeness, entitlement and abuse.

Nice! It's an authentic Madison Tuxedo bag.

How lovely, that's wonderful to hear. Thank you! It is a lot smaller than I imagined it to be, but oh so pretty anyways!

 

[colorguardjames]

Can you please confirm that this bag is inauthentic?

 

[BeenBurned]

Can you please confirm that this bag is inauthentic?

Confirmed!

BTW, was that bag listed online? Please post a link and info as per post 1, page 1.

 

[colorguardjames]

Confirmed!

Would you mind describing why so I can prove my case?

....Thanks so much, I appreciate any imput !

So by “I appreciate any input,” you actually didn’t really mean ANY input...
As others have stated, the authenticators here are top-notch, and do this on their own personal time for FREE. If you can’t be patient and wait for the multiple experts to chime in, you should pay an authentication service for their “nicer and more informative” assistance.

As usual, thanks to the lovely authentication experts here who’ve helped me in the past! It's been so busy in this thread lately (so I don't want to jam it up with requests since they're in my possession & not going anywhere) but I always try to pop in to learn something new...

Where did you buy it, and when? That makes a difference in what arguement you use to prove it's genuine. We also need to see the original listing.

We're serious about requiring all that information up front when we authenticate, we're not just being nosy.

I'm coming late to this discussion, but I'll stand firmly with my fellow authenticators.

First you send me a Private message asking for authentication, which os against forum rules. Then you not only take up a qualified authenticator's time but then question her judgement AND throw insults at her!

By all means, go somewhere else. If you want to be rude and insulting at least you should be made to pay a "nicer" professional service for the priviledge of being insulted.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

It's probably genuine, at least I don't see any red flags although the creed photo is hard to see clearly. Soft Signature Small Zip Tote, style 6082 and came out in Spring 2002. Good luck with your rehab.

Hi, everyone, I don't have anything to authenticate right now, but I just wanted to say thank you. I know I'm guilty of skipping off with my new authenticated coach, and forgetting to be grateful for all the work that everyone puts in to find answers for us. I definitely appreciate all of your services here to us new collectors. Thank you again and always from the bottom of my little coach loving heart.

I’m a little embarrassed because I got over excited and submitted an offer for the bag before fully examining it or asking for more photos. Here is the information:
