I picked this wristlet from a garage sale over the weekend for a dollar. I am pretty sure it's authentic but I think it's older than before I became a collector. Can anyone tell me anything about it? https://plus.google.com/photos/104564781497841910646/albums/6142299689167150273?authkey=COzKpuiRz96HTA Let me know if that doesn't open. I rarely share images on my G+ account so I am a bit rusty.

That's so pretty! It was called the Soho Brushstroke wristlet, released in winter 2003. Unfortunately, I don't know the style number.

I have the same one. It was style number 7135 and was released around the 2003 Holiday season to match a large Italian-made bag with the same design which was style number 9497, picture below.

Ugh! Since you no longer need the style number because Hyacinth beat me with it (because I didn't take the time to read the subsequent posts before searching), I'll post a small picture of the 7135 wristlet:

Gorgeous colour. Congrats!

Thank you! I've been obsessing over these since I saw a pic of Whateve's UV Candace. I think I can get over it being a Tanner instead of a Candace at this price. I'm still doing a happy dance today.

Congratulations! You'll love the color! I think it is the most perfect purple ever. Even the Candace is huge so I imagine the Tanner will be enormous!

Thank you both for your quick response. It's a gorgeous piece. I love finding gems like this at garage sales!

It seems like a genuine Soho Mini Signature Small Hobo

Thank you, Hyacinth!

Hi everyone,
I did the forum search and something similar to this creed (misspelled) was posted before on the hall of shame thread. (Not the same listing). I'm assuming it's counterfeit but wanted to ask here first.

Seller: mart.k5
Item: Coach purse black
Listing Number: 171769830676
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171769830676?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Comments: "fine split subde" "superi or"
Also the seller states that the bag does not come with straps but Coach will replace them for free (just the shipping cost)... I've read on this forum that they do not have replacement straps?

It's fake and there's so much wrong with that bag that I'm copying the pictures!

1. The bag isn't made of suede
2. The mini signature lining isn't one that Coach uses
3. The creed is missing the serial number (which a bag of this style would have)
4. The pattern placement and centering is wrong.
5. You missed another misspelled word: enOuring (instead of enduring)

Report away!

Just to add - NO, Coach does NOT have replacement straps. Just another lie from that seller.

The bag looks genuine. I don't have a record of the style name but it could be a Mercer, maybe either a Small Tote or a Book Tote.

The Mini Signature Lurex Coin Purse also looks ok.

Thanks again, Hyacinth for authenticating, I bought them (met-up with the seller a while ago)
couldn't be happier with my purchase

Thank you BeenBurned! Looks like I also missed "attenion" and possibly "graftsmanship"..
