I've seen these before but I always see the little coach name impressed on the bottom corner, so I'm unsure

I don't have any in my files. I don't see any problems but without an imprint of Coach somewhere, it is hard to prove it was made by Coach since the hangtag is removable.

I think this one is fake.

ETA: I need better pictures to be sure. Are the grommets on the strap silver? Can I see the entire pocket showing the ends of the zipper? Can you get a clearer picture of the creed?

I don't have any in my files. I don't see any problems but without an imprint of Coach somewhere, it is hard to prove it was made by Coach since the hangtag is removable.

It's a tie case, style 569:


ETA: It looks like there may be a Coach stamp on the back of the case. (See 4th picture.)

There are several listings for similar items. Some appear to have variations so there may have been a MFF style.

It's fake. The font used in the serial number isn't correct for the time and plant indicated in the serial number. The Coach logo in the creed is also too big - the cartouche is too large for the Coach name inside it.

Note the differences in the fonts between the fake and a real one from a Willis 9927 especially in the length of the underscore in the abbreviation "No" and the spacing of the words in the creed is wrong on the last 2 lines. There are also "puffy" areas between some of the words.

Dear authenticators, request to authenticate please. thank you!
Item: Rambler (?).
Photos below.
Comments; thrift store find. Good price (7,50$! but not as good as Ammrx's finds!!!). Burgundy colour. length about 11.5", height about 7.5" and width 5".
Thank you in advance for your time and help!

Great find!

 

[VintageIsBest]

It's fine.

Thx!!

The strap grommets were brass, but the grommet attaching the strap to the bag looked silver. If I’m able to go back to the thrift store tomorrow I’ll take more pictures. Thanks so much for your time!

 

[Ammrx]

If both bags were bought from the same person, it is possible they originally purchased at the same time. This one is probably between 1994 and 1997.
This one was made before 1994, probably 1991 - 1993.

No they were purchased at two different sales today. After forever without a good find I lucked out today.
Thanks again for your time and knowledge.

If you're referring to the "Saddle Bag"/ fake Patricia's Legacy, I already explained that it was Fake here:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-2635#post-33254280

If you haven't already bought it there's no reason to go back to the store.
