Wow-you are all a wealth of knowledge. I have been reading this forum the past few days and I must say Ive learned so much! And feel more confident ebay’ing for bags rather thank picking them up at thrift stores or yard sales.

I picked up this beat up bag as a rehab/art piece, a good bargain whether authentic or not for the purpose. Could you advise on authenticity?

Thanks!

You’re right-it’s in rough shape. I hate to see a good bag so damaged, but the artist in me is excited to give it some new life!

Please authenticate this Poshmark item purchased on Dec 22 and received today. The leather is much thinner and has different feel compare with my other vintage coach bag, the creed is very faint, the serial number is L6H-4158, it stated in the creed the bag was crafted in the United States. The hang tag is 2 pieces thin leather glued together both side has "Coach "stamped on, total thickness only 2mm or 1/16".
Everything just doesn't feel right.

I took some additional photos.

It's an authentic Soho handle bag. The leather is thinner because it is part of the lightweights, or Soho, collection.

Thank you Whateve, I was like "this fake was so well made". Glad it is genuine. Probably will stay clear from Poshmark from now on, eBay will be easier to deal with in case item purchased is fake. Thanks again.

Please authenticate when you have time. Also if you know the style number. Thanks.

The first two look OK. There aren't enough details of the tan wallet to authenticate, but more pictures probably wouldn't make much difference. It's probably genuine.

Alright, thank you so much!

It looks good. I don't know the style number.

Thanks @whateve, I'll post it on the ID thread.

There are at least 2 reasons it can't be a Helen's Legacy. The Helen's is like a smaller version of the classic Duffle Sac, it has a ROUND base. This one is oval. The Helen's also wasn't introduced until Autumn of 1994 and would have had the "new" style serial number with the actual style number and a number-and-letter combination for the serial number prefix. It's definitely a genuine 9730 Shoulder Sac made between 1990 and 1993.

Thank you very much for your time, Hyacinth!

Hi authenticators, I purchased this on a whim. Thank you for your help on this bag!

Item: Crescent Hippie?
Seller: Rehoboth
Comments: Is this a precreed bag? Would it be from the 1970s (if real)?

It's so hard to look at pictures of sold items on this site. I'm not seeing a creed or label.

If you click on the picture it’ll bring up the photos without the banner going across it. There is a small tag that says “coach”.
