FIRST - NOTHING can be authenticated with just a photo of a mark on a zipper! Read Post Number One like it says at the top of every page of this thread abd follow the instructions for the info and photos we need to authentcate.

SECOND - a zipper brand can't prove a THING about authenticity. Read the Signature in purple under every one of my posts and take it to heart. Wherever you read that nonsense about zippers, you read a bunch of lies. Read all six of the Salearea Coach Guides posted here for ACCURATE information, especially the Guides about the YKK Zipper Myth and about Coach Authenticity Guides - Facts and Myths. Once you've read them we can start again with a better understanding of what makes a Coach real or fake.

Wow! Thank you Hyacinth! My appologies I wasn't sure if I was posting in the correct place. NEWBIE! I just pulled out the measui

Geeze! apologies again. The measurements are matching the catalog description you posted, 11x7x3 and indeed has an adjustable strap. I really appreciate your help. I couldn't find ANY info when I googled the serial number. Just for fun I will try to attach the other bag and wallet I got as well. Thank you again!View attachment 4525333 View attachment 4525334 View attachment 4525335

The bag is a genuine Court Bag from 1996.

There's no way to authenticate the wallet with just one photo. We're VERY serious here (as the authenticators are in every forum here at tPF) about posters following the correct format when asking for authentication and about what photos and information we need. A full set of photos, inside and out, is an absolute requirement, especially with wallets which are highly and easily faked.

Well my apologies. I was just sharing the photos of the court bag and wallet for fun. My mistake.

Thank you! What do you recommend to buy vintage coach bags?

I recommend a site that responds to reports of fakes and actually removes listings when items are reported.

There may be other sites that remove fakes but those I'm familiar with are Ebay, Tradesy and Bonanza.

I purchased a Coach Briefcase ant an estate sale with the serial number No. 1276-305 Made In The United States Before giving it to my son can someone verify if this is authentic?

I would appreciate any assistance.

Thank you.

The briefcase is authentic but I'm not sure about the hang tag. It appears to be a different color so it may not be original to the bag.

Hello! I found this at a local consignment store for $150 and was hoping to get it authenticated here (and if someone knows what it’s called too).

Thank you very much for your help!
