Hi, this item listed in Latvia (Europe)
Item Name: Original Coach bag (I found name by myself "Brooklyn Carryall 28" according to serial number)
Link with photos: https://www.ss.com/msg/lv/clothes-footwear/accessories/women-s-small-bags/lgodl.html
I wondered about metal tag . I hav`nt see it in live yet. Just have asked for serial number photos additional to published ones.
Is it real?

I believe the bag is fine.

It looks like bags made in 2016 had a metal hangtag and some I saw from 2017 had a leather one. So it appears that at some point, Coach changed the hang tags they used.

Another possibility to keep in mind is that hangtags can get lost and replaced by one that wasn't originally used with the bag. However I don't think that's the case in this instance.

Other opinions are welcome.

When time permits, could somebody look at this for me.

Item: Stewardess Bag
Seller: kristofvice
Link: https://depop.app.link/A1nQaa3Bm0
Comment: The stamping is uneven. Is this the right font for B plant? Thank you
I don't see a problem. Other opinions are welcome.

In fact, the following show comps of the bag in question to two other creeds from bags with the identical (same month/year/plant) prefix. (I straightened the creed photo of the depop listing.)

BTW, it's not "80s" as described by the seller. The bag was made in 1997.

It looks good to me too.
 
Hello Ladies,
Here is another bag for authentication. Based on what I've been reading I'm fairly certain it is authentic but I would like your collective opinions just to be sure. Also, is this bag from the mid-late 70's?
Creed#: 371-9405
Item: Dinky; Ivory leather with brass zipper
Size: ~9x5x1.5 with ~20" strap drop
View attachment 4561418 View attachment 4561417 View attachment 4561419 View attachment 4561420

It could have been made any time from the very late 1970s to 1987.

Hello! I am looking to have 2 of the same bags authenticated, both Italian made Copley bags style 4414. They are both in my possession, one is from Poshmark so I admit that was stupid to buy before authentication but the price made me weak.

Seller: theoldebarn
Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/293263905804
Notes: I believe the color is mandarin

Seller: eileern4
Link: https://posh.mk/tsOt0mqzz0

Thank you! I’m always on the lookout for this style and of course I found 2 on the same day lol

The Legacy Zip is genuine. As for the white marks, I suggest that if you buy the bag, take better photos of them and post a question at the Rehab thread in the Coach Clubhouse section of the main Coach forum. There's no way to tell what it is from just one small photo.
