The only new creed picture is the top one for the two-tone bag. That is authentic as well. I still can't read the number on the striped lining creed. I think everything l can see looks good.

ETA: I believe the twill bag with the striped lining is style 6134.

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.

You're right, we've seen one or two cosmetic bags with creeds but no numbers.

All of them are genuine.

I think the twill bag with the ticking lining is 6134 which I have down as "unknown Greenwich twill tote" and the bags from that line had that same ticking lining, they may be the only Coach handbags that have it. I've never seen catalog photos of any of them but the serial number fits. Only one or two of each style has ever been spotted here so everything in my photo file on that very small family has been saved from Ebay listings. We've never found out the official names but the line is definitely called Greenwich and is from 1999.

Here are a few photos including a clear pic of the creed from another bag, click on the thumbnails:

It looks like a genuine Bleecker Leather Large Flap Bag from 2007. More opinions are always welcome.

I agree it is authentic. What a deal! I paid a lot more for mine. The color might be rust.

Hi Beenburned

I just realized the creed says Hug it. Drape it. Squeeze it the leather will soften over time and take on a quality uniquely yours.
Does that sound right? Making me worried.

The creed is correct for the style of bag.

Creeds have changed over the years. Format changed, wording changed, font, font color and numbering changed. On an authentic bag, the creed has to be correct for the bag it's on.

*Hug it, drape it, squeeze it . . . * was used in their print ads way back when!

If you can enlarge the print below the bag, some of the wording is there. There’s no idea like a proven winner.
