Sorry, there's no way to authenticate without a clear readable photo of the creed and serial number.

Can you authenticate please? I won this kind of by accident - haven't paid yet. I noticed the suggestion a few posts back to always have Goodwill bags authenticated:

It's genuine, from the late 1980s, but the photos aren't good enough or clear enough to tell what style it is.

Thank you, I wasn't sure either. Kind of took a leap of faith on this one. I'll post better photos for identification once I get it!

I'm not comfortable with usaborder.

The pictures in the listings you've asked about are too dark to see any detail but when sellers have tons of hang tags without the bags they came on, I see red flags.

In looking at the seller's other items, I found this questionable one that I don't believe is authentic:

Please post photos of the bag itself and especially the creed patch and serial number, as required in Post Number One of this thread. Thanks!

I agree, I haven't been following the FOS events very closely but I don't remember seeing any hangtags like the ones with the single charms. The ball chains on those almost look too short to even be used as hangtags, and a few of those charms don't look familiar at all. As for the "listing ended" Carriage hangtag, not only is the stitching sloppy but the detailing of the metal or plastic Carriage emblem is absolutely horrible. Just comparing it to a Carriage emblem from a Julianne from maybe 7 or 8 years ago:
12935 Julianne Carriage emblem:


compared to the keychain BeenBurned referred to:



THE COACHMAN DOESN'T HAVE ANY BLEEDIN' HEAD !!!
also the lower half of the carriage door looks like it has a pig's arse sticking out of it, but that's probably just my imagination. Or maybe the front half of the pig is driving the carriage. Minus the head, of course).


I would NOT buy from seller " usaborder " !!!

here, thank you View attachment 4532113 View attachment 4532114

Can you post the full serial number so we can make a note of the plant code and check the style number? The light is hitting the patch at just the wrong angle for me to be able to read it clearly. The second half of the number looks like F58292 but all I can read of the first half is the letter "E".

Coach is adding new plants all the time so an Indonesia plant wouldn't surprise me, Coach will go any place where labor is cheap. And if someone is going to make counterfeit Coaches, they're NOT just going to pull the name of a country out of thin air to put on their creed stamps especially if Coach doesn't have any plants there.

I'm sorry for the lighting its (no E1939 - F58292 )

USABORDER had several completed listings of fake hang tags that were copying those from 1941 collection bags.

Here's a comparison of usaborder's fake to an authentic hang tag from a Rogue (style 58023):
