AUTHENTICATE This COACH

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:

• Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.
• This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:
  
  Item:
  Listing number:
  Seller:
  Link:
  Comments:

• If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:
  
  Item Name (if you know it):
  Link (if available):
  Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
  • Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
    
  • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.
• Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
• Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
• Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.
• Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
• Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.
• Please utilize the "Quote" feature when responding directly to another post.

I'm seeing J8H, so it's fake. I think all the pictures aren't of the same purse. In the last picture, there doesn't seem to be a zipper pull but you can see one in the other pictures.

Ahhh good catch! I need to make a note of that. Thank you so much!

This is what the seller sent to me when I asked for a clearer photo of the creed:

"I will try. I can honestly tell you this is a real coach. I find it so
dishonest that high level stores like Macy's. Even the Coach Outlets sell
knock offs. When in doubt, look for the " made in China tag".

-sparty3872"

..............................I have no words. But if I see it relisted, I imagine it should be reported. Plus any other Coach items this person sells since they think outlets sell knockoffs! Ugh.

What? Is there a made in China tag in her supposedly made in US fake?

Pfft! Macy's and Coach outlets sell fakes? And she's honestly telling you this is (or was) a real Coach?

Well, I think ebay may have told her otherwise!

And if sparty3872 blames you for reporting, refer her here!

I actually never had a chance because I don't think they relisted it (yet) but I'll keep an eye out. I was pretty baffled by their response too.

Morning,
Purchased this bag. Looks and feels strange to me. The part under the flap is not raw leather either.
Thoughts please on authenticity?
Long strap messenger bag with flap and turn lock closure.
Also, does anyone know the style name of this bag?
Thank you.

Good morning, I'd love it if you could take a look at this backpack for me. Thanks!
