Hello!
If you could authenticate these two, it would be much appreciated!
(btw I'm new to vintage coach bags and I've enjoyed reading/learning by reading this thread as well as the guides that were put together!)

  • Item: Lot of 2 Vintage Coach Leather Handbags - Black Willis Station 5130 & Brown 9020
  • Listing number:123946081726
  • Comments: I'm not sure about the station bag - creed looks a bit weird to me maybe because the first 3 digits are not aligned?
Both are authentic. The misalignment is correct in this case.
 
Could I please have these two tems checked over.
Item-Vintage Coach Crossbody Bag lot 2 piece blue/light brown purses.
Link-https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-COACH-CROSSBODY-BAG-LOT-2-PIECE-Blue-light-brown-PURSES-/273500591434?_ul=NZ
Seller- imeldacarolina1005
Comments- Am trying to find bags that are a bit more economical.
Is that a Legacy Hobo and does it come in blue or is it a faded black?.
Both are authentic. It is a Legacy small zip (smaller than the legacy zip). I don't know if it came in navy or if that is black. It looks black in the pictures. The tan bag is a dinky.

I have one more (coach willis) I posted about over the weekend. Purchased it on ebay and now that I have it Im having serious doubts! I have better pictures than the seller provided. Mainly the leather on this bag feels & looks completely off! Almost plastic like (just stiff). Nothing like that soothe glove tan leather coach is known for.

I posted it next to one I purchased with badly damaged leather(just cause I wanted the extra straps)

Authentic. I had a Willis made in the same factory in November 1999. The leather was great, just as good as US bags. The quality of the leather they used may have declined by the time your bag was made. Or it might have been treated with something.

Hi, I'm new to this forum, I hope this is formatted right. I'm looking to authenticate 4 thrifted bags. Any information is much appreciated.

Vintage chrystine crossbody
7.5" x 6" x 2.5" (width, height,depth)

British Tan Daypack
7" x 9" x 4.5"

Black Willis
10.5" x 10" x 3.5"
Not sure if the strap is original to the bag, the clips are different than I've seen on other Willis bags.

British tan City bag
11" x 7" x 3.5"
I'll upload more pictures if necessary, I just didn't want to overload with photos since this is a 4 in 1 post

Thanks in advance!

It must of been treated with something because its definitely not Coach leather quality. And I was hoping to rehab it. Thank you again for your expertise.
