1- FAKE. Wrong font used in the serial number, the color isn't quite right and the month and year in the code is too early for silver-color hardware. The placement of the creed stamp isn't right either.

2- genuine Multi Zip Bag from 1996

3- genuine Court Bag from 1997

The FIRST post in this thread has that information, that's why it says
**see first post for format** at the top of every page of this thread.
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach-see-first-post-for-format.889527/

Please read it and follow the instructions. The most important photo after the picture of the front of the bag is a readable close-up of the creed and serial number and, if available, the small fabric tags on the inside of the bag showing where it was made and in bags made in the last 5 years, the 2 lines of production codes including the style number..

Usually we do NOT recommend buying from sellers in the Philippines because of the very large problem with fakes being sold in and distributed through that country. We know that you want to buy locally but it's dangerous especially when you have to use a system like bank transfers for making payment. We only recommend paying with Paypal or an internationally accepted credit card because those payment methods have a good system for refunding money paid for items that turn out to be fake.

NONE of those listings has a readable creed and serial number in the photos and they can't be authenticated.

hi hyancinth! thanks for responding so quickly. i did see the first post although there were just a couple of items there. Please see below. Are those it?
1. Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.

2. Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.

I know re: fakes and Philippines. such a sad thing. :( However, i need a backpack asap so i have no choice but to make do with what i have access to. :( That's why I am taking this extra precaution to have the bags checked here first before buying so as to minimize the risk. sorry for the inconvenience.

thanks again!
