I also forgot to ask a relevant question, if that's ok. I once saw a beige flat turnlock pouch with ticking lining on eBay. The description said that it didn't have the Coach logo anywhere. It didn't look obviously fake... besides, I've never seen a counterfeit ticking item before - guess I haven't seen a lot of things in my life, lol! Turnlock, construction, even the zipper pull - all looked quite convincing. I don't have the auction number and/or pictures as that was a while ago, but in general, is such thing as unmarked authentic item possible?

I've seen probably authentic Coach items that didn't have a logo anywhere but I don't think I've seen an authentic pouch or cosmetic case without a logo. These types of cosmetic cases were counterfeited. We've seen plenty. We discussed one a few days ago on this thread. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-2379#post-32994530

The lining in the listing I'd questioned and that @whateve referred to above wasn't the same striped pattern as Coach typically used. That one was a fairly easy call based on the lining and the item.

However I have another piece of info to add. Although I can't find the post from August 2017, I saved some pictures from a post where someone asked about 2 similar pouches, one in British tan and one in red. Both were fake but the lining "appeared" to be correct. Although my pictures don't show the difference in texture well, the lining in the fakes was a thinner, tackier material.

The caveat is that some of the fakes are very close, right down to the lining.

Hello. I sell on consignment and was told this coach Slim briefcase was vintage and authentic. think it’s fake but the owner claims it is authentic and has an Nordstorm Tag (looks reattached to me ) and proper coach markings. I think she is pulling a fast one with me. I would like your opinion please. Thanks for your time.

I don't have a picture as of yet but the creed number is 0566 346. I've attached a pic. Is it possible to authenticate that at least the numbers and picture match for now? And what bag it is exactly?

It looks fine and is from 1997.

But since you're the seller (on consignment) and it's your account and reputation that is at risk should you list a fake, it's always a good idea to verify.
