Hi all, I have a couple more Coach bags I was hoping someone could authenticate when they have a moment.

#1 is a black Coach Legacy Crossbody, purchased at a thrift store years ago, serial number on the creed was tough to see but I believe reads No D0D-9167, measurements are 8.25" width, 4.75" length, 2.75" base.
View attachment 4414173 View attachment 4414174 View attachment 4414175 View attachment 4414176 View attachment 4414177

#2 is I believe a brown Coach Maggie Mini, purchased at a thrift store years ago, serial number on the creed reads No C8P-9019, measurements are 9.5" width, 7.75" length, 5.75" base.

Thank you so much in advance.

I'm finally going through my entire Coach stash to have them authenticated before I rehab them and will probably sell at least half of them. I know there are some negative opinions on Poshmark, and eBay is a popular choice so long as you can trust the seller, but is there a forum on TPF for swapping or advertising a bag for sale? So many of us love these beautiful bags and I've learned a lot from this community and would like to know my bag is going to someone who will love it. Just curious as Ravelry (for knitting/crocheting) has a fiber trade/sell/gift area that reminded me to ask you all about this option. Let me know if I should direct this question elsewhere and my apologies if it's out of line for this forum. Thank you!

Please wait for others to authenticate, but to answer your other question:

Note that "The item must be listed at an online marketplace (like eBay), a link to each listed item must be provided. This is not a For Sale forum."

Both are authentic.

@Catbird9 explained that items need to be listed and links need to be provided to those listings. That's the only way they can be sold on the site. TPF rules disallow selling privately to other , through your profile or by PM.

Excellent, thank you so much! I see in the Coach Shopping area there is a COACH Finds thread (https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ons-deals-and-rare-finds-here-no-chat.636857/) but wasn't sure if that was the best place for advertising personal sales. I'll make use of the link you posted and I appreciate the info greatly.

Edited to add -- I see in the very first post on that COACH Finds thread that no personal sales are allowed so I will of course abide by that and not post anywhere but the link you provided. Much appreciated.

Thank you very much, BeenBurned, both for the authentications as well as letting me know the rules against selling on TPF. I'll only use the link that Catbird9 shared. I seriously love this place and the contributors and have learned so much from you guys. Much obliged.

It's fine. It was made in 1997, as indicated by the 7 in the prefix.

Forgive my intrusion, having a hard time finding the correct starting place for an authentication.
I have a black, Coach messenger bag H7S-0544, 13 3/4 x 11 high x 5 wide, the "leather" is very smooth,
doesn't have the texture and feel of typical leather.
Thank you,
Bo
