Coach Vintage Leather Wallet | eBay

<p>Coach Vintage Leather Wallet. Condition is Pre-owned. Shipped with USPS First Class. You are bidding on an used vintage brown in color leather wallet in fair use condition.</p>

www.ebay.com

seller: mgrahme

Flap too big, Back pocket construction wrong, logo in wrong place.

Sorry, I'm just not familiar enough with the vintage styles to give an opinion.

That wallet is fake.

The cut slot for the checkbook is also another problem.

Although this isn't a comp of the fake wallet in question, the brown wallet shown on the left is another fake of the exact style. (Black wallet on the right is authentic.)






And this is a comparison of mgrahme's fake wallet and the brown fake shown above. Both have the oversized front flap.

Thanks! That's what I suspected. It just seemed better done than others I've seen.

It's authentic.

Thanks so much!

Hi! Can you please help authenticate this for me? There isn’t a creed and she doesn’t include a close up of the zippers. If there’s any other information I should request, please let me know. I’m curious when it was made.

thanks!

Do you have a color chart with sage? I have one with dark sage, which is really dark.

I do not. I have been looking and I think I gave been mistaking sea for sage all this time!

 

[BeenBurned]

Thanks! That's what I suspected. It just seemed better done than others I've seen.

Yes, and that's exactly why I have pictures that I'd saved showing a "close" fake of the same style to a genuine version.

A closeup of the zipper wouldn't prove a thing. The name on a zipper has NO connection to Coach authenticity.

My concern is that I've never seen that style of bag with that lining before. I'm not comfortable trying to just guess. Please wait for more opinions.

Hi! Gosh, I thought YKK would be somewhat helpful. Thanks for your input. I’ll await other opinions.

No, that's one of the oldest example of misinformation or just plain lies about Coach on the internet. Read the signature under every one of my posts, and then read "The YKK Zipper Myth" that's one of the parts of the Salearea Coach Guides. It's an even better idea to read all 6 of them when you get a chance:

PAGE 2 THE CENTERED C RULE or THE C'S ARE PERFECTLY STRAIGHT RULE MOSTLY true, with plenty of exceptions. The center seam or a line down the front of a bag with Signature or Op Art C's should usually divide it into 2 halves that are mirror images of each other. But: Sometimes the back isn't...

Thanks for the link, Hyacinth. There’s a lot of information/misinformation out there and it’s certainly a sea to wade through. I’ve read the post and find it certainly understandable and informative. Although my world had less gray with the YKK rule in good standing thanks again for your knowledge and expertise!

Dear Authenticators, Please help authenticate this vintage coach Stewardess bag shown in these pictures that I recently purchased from Poshmark. The Seller claims she/he run a business to restore vintage authentic bags. I will appreciate every help I receive from you. Beside the defect on the closure clasp, the zipper of the inside pocket is made out of plastic which seems odd to me as all the coach bags (vintage ones ) I have seen have the high quality metal brass zipper- should that be a concern?

 

[Ammrx]

Can this be authenticated? Thanks. Also any info on style/year etc. Thanks for all you guys do. Purchased locally at a consignment store.
