Item: Coach Bridle Compact Clutch No. 6497
Listing number:
Seller: gracelegacy
Link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-COACH-Leather-New-YorkWallet-58f2a8a54127d0d41809e3c8
Comments:
I have added several additional photos (in addition to the original seller photos). I've never owned a Coach wallet or small leather good item before so I'm unaware what specifically to photograph (but I did my best). I bought 2 wallets and neither have a Creed (like the vintage purses). This just has a COACH and New York written on the front closure. It is a button snap and when you open it up the button does say "FIOCCHI" and "ITALY" with two engraved/embossed starts between the words (tried to photograph well). There are 8 credit card slots (4 on each side when opened). The lower corner of the right side does have "COACH" embossed on it with a kind of border over it. I also found a section that had "MADE IN ITALY" engraved in it, but I'm not really sure if it's possible to get a better picture of this. I also attached the catalog listing that I believe matches and an old forum thread search post made me think this is the color, Currant. Please let me know if any additional photos are needed. The last photos was taken with flash; all others weren't.

While reporting this fake, I came across another listing of a questionable bag from the seller.

Concerns:
1. Wrong font for H plant
2. Wrong lining for a Sonoma
3. Text isn't correct for this bag

I don't believe this is authentic but it's close enough that I'd like confirmation to be told I'm wrong.

Definitely fake. Also wrong zipper pulls. The H plant wasn't open in 1994.

As long as it has exactly the same creed and serial number as in the photos, it's OK. Daypack, made in 1999

Comments: I searched for the seller in this thread and didn’t find anything but they have a negative feedback from February that a bag they sold wasn’t authentic. Thanks!

Genuine Legacy Large Shopper from 1997. While I think the seller needs to do a better job in describing and cleaning their items, I'm wondering if the Feedback for a fake Peyton might have been undeserved. We've seen way too many clueless buyers scream "fake!" with bags made between 2014 and 2017 because they didn't have stamped serial numbers on the creed patch (and a LOT of those useless Coach "authenticity guides" insist that all genuine Coaches should have serial numbers, which is an out-and-out LIE), and this could be one of those situations. I'd also be concerned about someone who ships something without cleaning or measuring it.

Just seeing your edit, thanks for the additional thoughts. I agree that listing an item that wasn’t cleaned is a bit ... weird. I asked them about the interior stain as I was wondering if it was ink and they said no. So they probably could have cleaned it up a bit with minimal work.

I also though the feedback may have been a mistake as they seem to have no other negative feedback and they were really quick to answer my message.

Thanks again!
