Comment: Is it possible to clean the paint off?
 
It's authentic. ID can't be made without measurements. It was made in the early 90s.
thanks for the prompt response, two photos have the tape measured in them. Basically 8 x 9. Do you need me to measure more than width and length ?
Sorry, I didn't notice the tape measure. It looks like a pocket drawstring #4021 from the Lightweights collection. Color is probably bone.

There is something wrong with the link for the second item. #1 is fake. #3 is authentic. It's hard to tell with paint. It might just flake off in a warm dunk. Then again, it could be very hard to remove.
 
I don't know anything about this seller. Is it a Musette or a Carrier bag? Is it British tan? They aren't sure which bag it is I guess? The measurements are off, I have asked the seller for more pictures. I would love to get this if its authentic!! Fingers crossed this link works! Thank You for your help!

I can't read the creed clear enough to authenticate. If it is authentic, it is a carrier not a musette. It looks like British tan.
 
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 :doh: thanks again for your knowledge and expertise!

But it had a lot more fakes in the hands of unsuspecting buyers.

If all it took to figure out if a Coach was authentic was a zipper, we wouldn't need authenticators. Remember the Golden Rule Of Authenticating - "Anything a maker can make, a faker can fake."


Is anyone else able to take a look at the mini bag with the pillow ticking lining? Thanks!
There really aren't many details that help with authentication, and there's nothing in my files for similar styles with ticking lining. Besides the hangtag (which can't be used as an authentication tool), there doesn't seem to be any Coach logos or other identifiable details. And the silver-color hardware indicates that it couldn't have been made any earlier than around 1998-99.
