Need a better (brighter) creed picture so it's legible.

Thank you BeenBurned. I think the creed is very faded. I hope the following helps. Thank you for your time and help!

Thank you BeenBurned. I think the creed is very faded. I hope the following helps. Thank you for your time and help!

The serial prefix looks like E followed by 5B-. I have this note in my files about 1995 B plant serials:
"The original "classic with overstamping" serial number stamps were replaced around June (F) 1995 for directly-stamped items.."
This one has the same font as the A to F codes in my files, F serials can be either the old or the new stamp, but by that time the old serial stamp was on its last legs. Everything after F was a new stamp with a smaller "softer" font compared to the square-ish original font in the stamps that the C and D plants were still using.

It's genuine.

Good evening all!
I was hoping to get an authentication on this bag:
Vintage COACH Tan Bag Leather Crossbody
70029267
Goodwill Southern N.J. & Philly

https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/70029269

I've been screwed by a different GW and just don't want to take any chances without the expert authentications y'all so generously offer. This bag worries me by the leather the creed is stamped into. It just looks cheap to me. I'm not at familiar with this color, and maybe that's what's throwing me off or maybe it's just the wonderful high quality photos GW's post! Lol

Sidenote: any opinions on Authenticity First? (at least I think that's the name of the service some of their locations are using now) I already know not to trust Entrupy. Thanks so much!

Don't you mean
"Authenticate
First
DOT com"?

As with so many other things on these forums, we keep reminding posters to do a forum search before asking questions that might already have been answered. If you had done that, you wouldn't have found ANYTHING, because they've been Blocked from these forums for various reasons, that's why even their typed name is blocked. There have been complaints posted here about their service and they tried to cause problems and then wanted all references to them removed. Here's just one post, notice how the poster had to spell the company;s name just to avoid the block
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/a-u-t-h-e-n-t-i-c-a-t-e-f-i-r-s-t-for-ysl-authentication.983619/

I do not recommend them, and many of their customers who are members here and have posted about them don't either.

Comments: Please authenticate this Bridget 65th Anniversary Legacy Bag 11622. I've purchased it but have not yet paid. It looks good to me but I always appreciate expert opinions, thank you.

Do you know the name of this color? I am thinking it was called "Rose" but I am not sure. It's a small, flashy bag that I won't use often, but I love my black Bridget so how could I resist this one for only $21.50?! Obviously I couldn't resist - thanks again!

I have it in my files as rose.

It's fine but I don't know the name of the color.

I have it in my files as rose.

Thank you both! I am sure that it is a difficult color to photograph so I hope that I like it when I receive it!

Although I would have called it "coral" or "salmon," I'm not surprised that Coach called it "rose."

They also call(ed) this rose, which IMO, would be more accurately described as "rust," though they don't use that name.
