Hello! Please authenticate, I have this in my possession.

Item: Convertible clutch
Seller: dar.kada.fudodmm
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/401845710163

Comments: I have another convertible clutch and I noticed there are 2 lines of sewing / thread above the zipper in my already authenticated clutch. That one is from 1999 so perhaps (I hope) this olive is just older and slightly different in its construction with only the one line of threading.

Thank you!

I have absolutely NO idea if Coach changed their stitching, but they often changed details like that on their bags and other items. That's why we depend on things like serial numbers and creeds for authentication, not how many rows of stitching there are. It looks genuine to me.

Thank you! I figured it was probably just a design change over the years but wanted to mention it. Thanks again!

I confess I bought this without getting an authentication. My excuse is I was out of the country and my online access was a bit wobbly. I've been seeking this bag for a long time. I paid 70 bucks so I hope it's genuine.

Please authenticate this Coach Madison red color bag. I bought this at a thrift store. I was looking online and most similar bag has the patch number J1173-18612. But my bag starts with J1175 so I am not sure if this is an authentic Coach bag. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am looking at this bag but have not purchased it. There is no style number and that made me a bit wary.

Forgot to post measurements on earlier post about Madison red bag. 15 inches long, 12 inches tall, 3 inches deep. Tag says Made in Vietnam.

It's fine.

Thank you! I'm thrilled. It is absolutely gorgeous. I don't even see the marks that the seller highlighted in the pics.

The bag is authentic.

If you look at the other listings you've referred to, you'll see that those with "75" are made in China as 75 is a Chinese plant.

Here's another listing of a Vietnam made bag from the same "73" Vietnamese factory.

If you read the SaleArea guides, you'll learn how to read and interpret serial numbers and what different parts of the serial number mean.

I'm passing on Tradesy authentication requests and recommending against them unless and until they do a better job in acting on reports of fakes. (I made several posts on the Coach Hall of Shame thread regarding a seller with dozens of fakes mixed with her hundreds of Coach listings. Tradesy hasn't removed the last batch of fakes.)

If someone else cares to help, they'll chime in.

I'm sorry.

It may be ok but since the creed wording isn't readable I'm not comfortable giving it a full authentication.

Smaller bags very often don't have serial numbers, and Coach also stopped stamping ANY serial numbers inside their bags, small or large, between 2014 and 2017, except for an extremely small number of bags that often had non-accurate numbers that didn't match the production data. Not having a serial number is NEVER a red flag unless the bag is of a size that should have one and was made in a month and year when Coach was actually stamping them.
