Front has the Coach logo, back has pocket.

For the benefit of others, I'm posting the listing. The seller shows the pocket side in picture #1. She doesn't show the other side but THIS LISTING shows both sides - see pic 1 and pic 2. And THIS LISTING shows both front and back in pictures 1 and 4.

This is the listing from which the bag was purchased and the bag (AGAIN) is fine.

Thanks BB, I was just going to point that out. That threw me too until I found listings showing both sides. I would think the side with the pocket is the front but apparently some sellers don't. Maybe Coach doesn't either but we already know they don't like outside pockets.

Every bag has 2 sides. It's a good idea to keep that in mind.

They can't be authenticated completely. Only one of the handbags, the light brown one, clearly shows the creed and serial number. That one and the cosmetics bag with the striped lining are definitely good and the tan wallets seem ok too. There's no way to authenticate the other 2 purses without creed and serial photos.

I'm curious about that "77A" that is carved into the leather!

Yes, this kind of thing is fascinating. I wonder since Coach did distribute to retailers, if it was related to a retailer? Or was it stamped on a piece of leather before it was cut? What a job it had to be simply to organize all the pieces of leather after they were dyed.

It's hard to imagine that a retailer would do something like that. More likely it was the leather supplier. although most of the supplier marks we've seen have been from Italy and just simple dye-based stamps. But Coach got their leathers from suppliers all over the world, so who knows?

The seller's pics are cwap but the style doesn't look familiar and the strap definitely was NOT made by Coach. Seller says the bag isn't marked so I doubt VERY much if it's Coach, the listing is at the very least keyword spamming and deceptive.

Thank you, Hyacinth! Those were exactly my thoughts, but I wanted to check with the pros. The style upfront looks like Quincey Bag, but the strap is detachable - and wrong in general - and the back is nothing like it. The turnlock and "lobster claws" - that's what fooled me most... reporting now.

Here is a small gift to all our authenticators...Im very new to Coach and much appreciate the help they have given me the few times Ive found bags thrifting.
The knowledge that they have is amazing and that they are willing to provide this service to us makes me very thankful. They dont get paid for it and in some very small cases dont even get thanked.
But I thank them and wish them all the best and hope they keep us informed. I still have a lot to learn.20190302_053531.jpg

Thank YOU! And although I speak for myself when I say this, I'm sure my sentiments are echoed by the others; it's posters like you that keep me coming back even after being abused, disrespected and attacked by others.

I don't believe the picture of the striped lining is the cosmetics bag. It is from the first purse, which is twill. I can't read the creed number and I can't identify the style but the creed wording is consistent and the font looks good. A cosmetics bag wouldn't have a number. I agree the last bag is authentic, as well as the two wallets. The coin purse looks good. The cosmetic case might be okay but there is no picture of the interior. There is no creed picture for the middle purse so it can't be authenticated.
