Hi everyone...
Does Coach ever have a bag named Messico? My aunt bought this bag from Camarillo Premium Outlet and I'd like to know if it's authentic. It has a suede lining not like what other coach bags have.. Unfortunately I don't have the bag with me now and I only have these photos.. Could someone maybe help me identify only by these photos? ^^IMG_8308.jpg IMG_8309.jpg IMG_8310.jpg

Welcome to TPF.

Unfortunately, those pictures aren't enough to authenticate the bag. However if indeed it came directly from a Coach factory outlet store, I can't imaging that it would have been fake.

I will say that there may be rare instances where outlet stores have accepted returns of fakes and possibly resold them, those cases haven't had enough concrete evidence to prove the claims.

If you are going to receive the back, post pictures when you get it.

ETA: Assuming authenticity, it appears that the bag may be style 56518, a signature debossed patent top handle bag. That style does have a suede-like lining.

Thank you... But do you know if Coach ever have a bag named "Messico" before? ^^

I added to my post above.

I don't know where you're getting the name "Messico" as being the style you are asking about but based on the listings I looked at, none show that name on the tags.

What I found is a similar style that appears to be named "Messico" but it's not the same bag you're asking about. The Messico is a coated signature pattern. Note that I'm not necessarily assuming all the pictures below are of authentic bags but this is what Messico looks like.

Both bags look good.

In the first listing, the seller doesn't show enough detailed pictures of the wallet but from what I see, it seems okay too.
 
May I please request an authentication of this Courier Pouch currently listed on eBay?

Item: Vintage COACH Imprint Courier Pouch, Red, Made in New York City
Item #:264205097869
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/264205097869
Seller: andromeda_collections
Comments: I have no reason to believe the bag is fake but it is a lot of money so I want to be sure. Also, I believe the seller is a TPFer so I feel good about the purchase but, again, just want to be sure.

Thank you!
