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:
  
  Item:
  Listing number:
  Seller:
  Link:
  Comments:

• 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.
• Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
• Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.
• Please utilize the "Quote" feature when responding directly to another post.

Comments: I'm not too familiar with fonts on creeds on Costa Rica bags. This is an interesting shaped bag though. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

• Item: Coach Willis (vintage)
  Purchased on Poshmark
• I keep going back and forth about this bag. Everything seems accurate, and it's gorgeous, but I'm still not 100% sure it's real. That being said, if it's fake, it's a damn good one! It's made from gorgeous leather, all solid brass hardware that is identical to Coach hardware, etc. The image of the hardware is the bag in question next to another Willis that I own for comparison. I've had a few vintage Coach bags in this British tan and the ones that are "newer" or in better condition always seem to look a little weird before they're broken in. Note: The strap is a replacement that I purchased.
• My main concerns: the texture of the leather on the inside of the flap (it IS leather) and the logo on the creed has 2 frames

• Measurements: 10 1/2" x 9"

Yup, saw that but we need a link and seller ID.

You should have the listing in your history or by doing a search by sold items. (Poshmark keeps "sold" items on the site.)

You should specify that you need it even if the bag has already been purchased https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-Coach-Bag-TODAY-ONLY-5e4c3efebb22e3ca282de2b9

The bag is fake. Return it.

Also, in that last picture, you are showing a comparison of the back of a turnlock from a black bag. Is there a reason for that comparison? You should get that one authenticated too.

Note that the seller also has a fake Dooney:

Thanks for all your help! What things stood out to you? I've been collecting Coach bags for years, but obviously some are good enough to get by me! As for the black one, I've had it for years and it's just part of my private collection, so I'm not looking to have that one authenticated.

Unfortunately, I waited too long and can't return it. Good thing it was only $25!

I am not Authenticator, but would like to recommend you to have the black one authenciated by Authenticators here. There is red flag in the hardware shown in the photo. Unless the turn lock is a replacement, otherwise very possible the bag is not legitimate.
