All THREE are fake.

First one - FAKE. Bad plant code, invalid year code, fake hardware

Second - the creed is unreadable which is because of bad stamping, and several of the creed details including the wording and the Coach logo are wrong

Third - bad zipper installation, non-Coach lining, Coach Leatherware stamp isn't right and is too small.

Were these all bought from the same seller?

More opinions are welcome, it's not often that we see three Foaches from the same source.

Someone brought this to my attention in the Vintage Coach Thread. I don’t know if it has been authenticated before, so sorry if it was. When you get a chance, please let me know if it is authentic. Thank you.

I looked at it earlier on the Vintage thread but didn't post an opinion. It's fine. If any of us spot a fake on the vintage thread we'll usually say so right up front before a tPFer grabs it.

Yes, they were in a box lot of about 20 purses and wallets from various brands, all from the same seller. Thank you for confirming my suspicions on those items.

If you ever see that seller again at ANY flea market, garage sale, or anything similar, RUN LIKE HE LL.

I hope you didn't lose a lot of money on them. When a voice inside your head says that "there might be something wrong with this plant code or buckle or turnlock or creed" or something else, listen to it.

Hi!

If I could please get your help authenticating these items in the lot:
Item: "Lot Of 3 Coach Hand Bags/Purses And 1 Wallet"
Seller: laserartcollector on ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-Of-3-Coach-Hand-Bags-Purses-And-1-Wallet-/254683858392?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&nma=true&si=Ymq6vbhgDvQtT%2FKRSKkiM9iwgas%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc
Comments:

In addition to these items - the seller included two lipstick cases and a Sutton bag (approx 11” w x 7” h x 2.5” deep with 19.5” strap drop on shortest setting) if you would kindly authenticate as well.

Thank you as always!

Unfortunately, since there were so many bags, I made the mistake of not closely looking over everything until AFTER I got home. Luckily, the other 15 or so items ended up being ok, so I didn’t really lose much in the end. I have definitely learned my lesson to take my time in the future though.
