Hi Authenticators! I am new to TPF and hope I am doing this correctly! Could you kindly have a look at this listing on Ebay and authenticate the bag? The bids close in 2 hours.

Seller is "sale 1941"; 97.7 positive feedback.


Many thanks! :smile:


Genuine, made in 1997
 
Thanks you so much, Hyacinth! :heart:

Could you also take a look at the bag in this listing on Ebay by garbosells? Does the bag appear authentic and is the age of it correct? I covet this colour! :loveeyes:


Thanks so much in advance!

The wallet is fake as are props.

I will say that too often, when there's a problem with part of a purchase, the item is probably not genuine. And in this case, the tag is fake. Although it shows the correct style number of the wallet (54000) the description is for a "Pebbled leather Harley backpack."

Also, the white label shows the wallet as a MFF (made for factory) item with "F" in front of the style number. However the Mickey wallet is NOT supposed to be MFF.

There are other problems with the wallet, in addition to the white label.

Here's a side by side comp of the fake tag vs. a genuine tag for the same item.

It's authentic, made in 1996.
 
Could the authenticators please help me identify the style of this bag? It's from my mom's closet - she gave it to my dad in the 1980s. It rehabbed nicely!

It's genuine, and I think it was called a Brief Bag, style number 5080 and from the early or middle 1980s.

Here's the Fall 1983 catalog page, click on the thumbnail to enlarge

ETA - It DID rehab well especially for a bag that's almost 40 years old! I'm not sure but I think that was one of Coach's first briefcases, if not THE first. @whateve might know.
