BeenBurned, thank you so much! I have been burned so many times, particularly at Goodwills, where you can encounter some very good fakes! That I unfortunately bought. Some were in the $40 and 50 range. Really appreciate the info about the stamping mechanism. Will continue to read and learn. Thanks to all here who share their expertise.

Just so you know, it's illegal for ANYONE or any store to sell fakes. (And thrift and charitable organizations aren't exempt from the law.) For the kind of money you're talking, I would definitely have returned and demanded a refund.

It's a good idea to use a credit card to pay for purchases that may be fake so you have the added protection of being able to file a dispute if the store or seller isn't willing to do the right thing.

If the amount of loss is small, some buyers will eat the loss to avoid returning and having them simply resell the fake to another unwitting buyer. But again, $40-50 losses are too much!

It's authentic from 2010 and seems to be pretty rare. I don't know the style name.

Note that zipper brand is irrelevant.

Hi, would someone be able to take a look at these? Thanks so much :)

Item: coach Plaza
Listing number: 254126047969
Seller: olivermax
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Comments: Looks as if the strap is not the original on this one because the hardware appears silver and the stitching and underside aren't quite right either.

Item: coach court
Listing number: 292953106016
Seller: wcsc258
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...rentrq:f9205aed1680aa13221faa47ffeabab7|iid:1
Comments: Would you say this color is British tan or something else like tabac?

I also purchased this recently. Probably should have gotten it authenticated first but it was a spontaneous 2am purchase and looked pretty good to me at the time. Still pretty sure it's authentic (though I have a concern about one thing) but would love a second opinion.

Item: Coach Court
Seller: leedo
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Classic-Coach-Tank-Leather-Purse-5c03390c3c984454a50948f6
Comments: Attached photos below of the creed as well as the strap attachment tabs. Interestingly, one tab matches the british tan color (last photo), but on the other side the tab is definitely a darker brown (middle photo). The darker color is uniform across the tab and only on the tab and not the bag so it's definitely the color of the leather and not patina or anything. Is this something to be concerned about?

The Court Bag is genuine.

The strap tab could have been replaced, or it could be a piece of leather that took on a slightly different color when it was washed or conditioned.
