Sorry about that. I got distracted by my toddler and posted before I meant to. I've been chasing her around the yard, trying to get a shirt on her. I think she (and I) are going a bit stir crazy.

Anyway, I got it online in an auction with a couple other bags. I think it might be a classic shoulder bag, if it is genuine anyway. The measurements are as follows (the bag is distorted though): 8" H 10" W 4.25" D
Here's another pic of the bag open too.
Post a link to the online auction and the seller's name.
 
I’m questing for the Coach Court in the flannel gray with the nickel trim. I’ve got a few listings found and want some insight as if they are legit. The Foach thread has gotten me nervous about how many bad bags are out there! Thanks in advance!

Item: VGC! VINTAGE COACH 9870 BLACK LEATHER COURT BAG
Listing number: 153893216481
Seller and site where listed: 620jean eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/153893216481
Comments: weird uneven look on trim on back pocket? Fuzzy creed pic.
I would avoid this listing. You do realize it isn't gray?

AUTHENTICATE This COACH

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:


  • Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.
  • This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

  • If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

    Item Name (if you know it):
    Link (if available):
    Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
    • 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.
    • 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.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
  • Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.

I need this bag authenticated. It seems to good to be true, so it probably is:

Off of Mercari
Poppy Crossbody
Stefanie Ruble is the Seller and here is the link:

Sorry about that. I got distracted by my toddler and posted before I meant to. I've been chasing her around the yard, trying to get a shirt on her. I think she (and I) are going a bit stir crazy.

Anyway, I got it online in an auction with a couple other bags. I think it might be a classic shoulder bag, if it is genuine anyway. The measurements are as follows (the bag is distorted though): 8" H 10" W 4.25" D
Here's another pic of the bag open too.

Sorry. It was a Goodwill auction, no direct seller. I got it from Central Texas Goodwill. The link is no longer available, at least I can't seem to find it. I have the sale listed on a spread sheet I can download from them, but it just says 3 coach bags.
I don't know what is going on with that hardware. It doesn't belong on a classic shoulder bag, and it doesn't belong on a bag from that era. All I can conclude is that someone replaced the buckles with buckles from another bag.

I'd like other authenticators to look at it.
