Can I please have this vintage coach authenticated. No. T4H-9950. Im not 100% sure because the coach creed imprint (sorry mot sure correct wording) seems kinda small & some of the brass hardware seems to be turning silver. Appx measures are 7.5" H x 8" W 4.5 Depth. Thanks!

Sorry, it's fake. Not only shouldn't the hardware be turning silover, but the "T" code at the beginning of the serial number is in the position the month code belongs to, and "T" was NEVER used as a month code by Coach. The year code is also invalid for any bag made in China as the creed states this one was.

You didn't say where or when it was purchased which is part of the posting requirements for this authentication thread and withouit that required information we can't make any suggestions on how to get your money back. Please be sure to include all of the required information listed in Post Number One of this thread in all future authentication requests.

Please can you authenticate this small coin key bag that I got from Goodwill? This bag has a heart accent. I have never seen any Coach item that has a heart accent. Usually it has the Coach logo. Thank you for your help.
Measures 5” x 3.25”

That particular Heart emblem was only used on certain small items from the Poppy line, I think this might be from the "Shimmer" family, like the wristlet shown here:

and a different Poppy line:

I believe it's genuine but more opinions are welcome.

One more to o look at when someone has time. Thanks.

Both of the bags look genuine. The wallet may be but there just aren't enough details to say for sure.

 

[Hyacinth]

Can this be looked at ? Thanks.

Also looks OK.

May I please have a double check on this, just in case before hubby pays?

(Yes, missing strap and rough condition, I know. But we stumbled on this a while ago while looking for the Bone colored Pocket Purse for daughter. I feel sad for it and don't want to see it end up in someone's trash. I'll fix it up and give it a nice home.)

Thank you so much.

I have found the two missing bags from my collection; turns out I gifted them to a friend a couple years ago. I've got them back temporarily for authentication and cleaning purposes, so hopefully y'all can help me out with the former! Thank you in advance!

Where do I find the URL?

It's the box or line on every web page that begins "http://" or "https://". Please try to find it for future requests, no need to look for it now.
