Dear Authenticators, I bought these two bags and sadly, couldn’t wait for a check on their authenticity. However, I should be able to request a return/refund if they’re not genuine. Thanks very much for checking.
1) Seller: vintagemillybee


2) Seller: bbvintage_stuff

3) Seller: station_85

Creed pic is not clear so I asked seller to resend (attached)

Apologies, I meant: I bought these three bags....

Hey guys I bought this coach while thrifting. I want to authenticate it all pictures are below. I don’t have a measuring tape but will get one if needed. Thanks for your help. (This is the last post I bought three purses while thrifting). If I am missing anything from the posts please don’t hesitate to let me know.

We authenticated the first bag on Monday.

The - ETA - SORRY, I meant "third" seller " station_85 " is Not Recommended, at least by me. Read their Ebay Negative and Neutral Feedback comments carefully, especially about the condition of the items, and then read their search history here at tPF.

And did you happen to notice the YOKO stamp or brand on the turnlock? Unless your name is Yoko I think that would be annoying after a while. Anyone buying from that seller needs to go over their listings carefully as well as reading the descriptions. And they've been on Ebay for well over a decade and KNOW how important creeed photos are! So why don't they include one?

The listing says "the interior consists of a large back zipper pocket with the Coach leather patch embossment stating the bag was made in New York city during the Bonnie Cashin era pre dating the coach creed number. " THERE IS a serial number under the creed even though it's unreadable, and it's NOT "Cashin Era". Cashin had ended her collaboration with Coach at least 14 years before that style was even introduced. The seller also doesn't mention odors or cigarette smells, but read their Feedback. A lot of their bad feedback is because of smells. If cigarette smells bother you, ask the seller about them.

Those are just a few "heads-up" about why I don't recommend that seller. The bag may be authentic but it's not what she claims it is.


ETA - Give me a few minutes to look at the second one.
The second one, the Rambler's Legacy, looks ok, made in 1998

Thank you very much, Hyacinth. I also had my doubts about the 3rd seller you pointed out. I decided to look at the bag and decide what I’d do from that point. It was a heavily discounted bag for a reason (one being the “yoko” imprint!). I do intend to “craft” for myself as a personal project. Thx in advance for checking the 2nd bag, at your convenience.

Congratulations, all 3 are genuine.

ETA - BTW, please don't spend time taking photos of the name stamp on the zipper pull. THE BRAND NAME STAMPED ON A ZIPPER HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH AUTHENTICITY AND DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING, regardless of what nonsense you may have found on the internet. Read my Signature under every one of my posts.

I have additional photos that I took from the website in case this link doesn’t work. I was bidding whilst entertaining a guest so I hope that I posted everything that you need. I’m buying it for the same friend that was over visiting it’s a surprise. She’s not really into handbags but I thought that this might make a nice birthday gift. I haven’t paid for it yet.
