Hello,
I need help authenticating this Coach purse.
I got it at a yard sale and i am not sure it is real. i personally think it is a fake, but I wanted to be sure.
thanks for your help!
One picture does show that it is torn on the handle part.
Again, thanks!IMG_20190526_075102892_HDR.jpg IMG_20190526_075214101.jpg IMG_20190526_075244634_HDR.jpg IMG_20190526_090602197.jpg

Hello everyone, I have a few items I thrifted recently for you good folks to look at, when you have a chance. I'm a novice to all this, but I have been reading the threads and guides here (all very interesting and informative). If real, I'm guessing from what I have read here that they were all made for outlet sale?

1) Black Willis
Bought at local Goodwill

2) Blue Soho satchel (?)
Bought at local Goodwill

3) Blue Soho wallet (?)
Bought at local Goodwill, came with item #2

I hope I posted the image album links correctly! These little dudes are all in need of cleaning and care, but before I get too far into attempting to clean and rehab them, I thought I'd better have them checked out.

Thank you! Have a good and safe holiday weekend, to all of you in the States.

All look fine. The outlet stamp on the bags means they were made for full priced stores but then transferred to the outlet for sale.

I'd like to see a photo showing the entire front of the bag. It's impossible to see the style from these closeups.

Hi, the image I showed was a purse on eBay. I actually have a Branson bag that was authenticated by Hyacinth a couple of years ago. I have too many bags and I couldn't remember which one was a Branson so I posted a pic of one I thought was a Branson. Thanks.

Just a suggestion - when one of your bags is identified, write the name and style number on a small Post-It Note and tuck it in an inside pocket. Or make a "master list", like an insurance list, and keep it in one of your storage bins or boxes.

In the future, be sure to supply the information required in Post Number One of this thread about where it was bought or where it's listed for sale. Thanks!

It's genuine, the first digit of the serial number is actually the letter "L" and the bag is a Small Kristin Hobo made in 2010.

Why do you think it's fake? I'm seeing one detail that makes me think it might be genuine. But like Whateve said, we need pictures of the entire bag including the front.
