Hello! Can you please verify if my Coach mini bag is authentic?
Item Name: Coach Mini Signature Top Handle (Style #40589)
Link: Unavailable, post was removed as a counterfeit

I've searched through the forum and found this similar bag but in a different color
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-1752#post-31873412

Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you so much for your help! :smile:

It looks fine to me. The small dot on the Made In ... fabric tag indicates it was made for the Factory outlet Stores (abbreviated as "MFF"). That doesn't neccessarily prove it's genuine but it adds to the proof.

BTW, even if the listing had not been removed, tPF Forum rules don't allow linking to your own ACTIVE listings.

Good morning, everyone! I've just recently dunked/CPR's/Blackrocked all my bags.
Now, I'd love help authenticating these three.
These are all my own bags, purchased in the past two years.

Regina 9983, dark brown. Isn't she just lovely? I can't imagine ever parting with her.

Station 5130, British Tan? If anyone knows the name of this color, tell me please...turns out I'm not a fan of it!

City 9790, dark brown. I do love this color. So expensive looking.

Hello... I know you're all busy but wasn't sure if my inquiries were overlooked. Sorry if I'm being pushy.

I think someone replied to you a week or so ago WHY we may take a while to get to a request, and that posters should allow 12 to 24 HOURS before posting a second request. It's been only three hours and we all have other things in our lives that take precedence.

Any time you post 5 or 6 bags at the same time, the authenticator has to find or set aside a larger block of time to handle those requests. We DON'T work for tPF, we DON'T get paid for our time, and we all have families and maybe jobs that come first. Please keep all these factors in mind. Please also keep in mind that some of the Authentication threads at other designer bag forums here limit authentications to one per post to avoid confusion and taking up large amounts of the authenticators' time.

The other forums also politely suggest that posters try to be a part of the tPF community by getting involved in other subjects. We have no problems with resellers here but other forums suggest that posters try to be a part of the community instead of a quick and free authentication service for resellers. If someone does all taking and no giving we have every right to remind them that this isn't why we're here.

I'll be back in a little while to answer your questions, when my schedule allows..

I have found the Coach forum to be quite open and inviting. And I am incredibly grateful for the the knowledge and passion that everyone shares here about all variety of Coach. Because the authenticators volunteer their time and encyclopedic knowledge , I am mindful of their life away from this forum and I give them 24 hours to respond to a request before I bump it or remind them.

Genuine, although it's a remake of an older Cashin style, not a Cashin-era bag. It's a Retro Lindy, style 9003 from the 1991 50th Anniversary Retro Collection, made 17 years after Cashin ended her collaboration with Coach.;

I couldn’t resist this Costa Rica bag when I saw it in a thrift shop. Could authenticators please take a look? Note that the last picture is of the back of the hanging pocket. The leather is cut crooked! Creed also looks wrong. Thanks so much ABEC0D4C-EBB5-4159-89E9-F31E867A801B.jpeg53B7398F-53D9-4FB8-8F20-2BF3224921DC.jpeg206B5278-A40D-48D5-B3B4-F6A5E6D490D5.jpeg19DFD4FA-8C00-408F-857C-87C6C5CE3CE6.jpeg9DE45152-F8E2-4319-9FD6-DE81BB8743BA.jpeg
