I am trying to verify this backpack is authentic. I picked it up off craigslist 10+years ago. I bought it bc of the quality, not knowing or thinking about Coach products. It has all the signs of being authentic from what I can tell, I just want a more qualified opinion.
Style ... 0528 (?)
Size ... 15x13x4 (approx)
From what I have researched...maybe made in Miami, Oct. 1998 (?)IMG-20200913-WA0001.jpgIMG_20200809_194034_9.jpgIMG_20200809_194127_0.jpgIMG_20200809_194820_8.jpgIMG-20200913-WA0000.jpgIMG-20200913-WA0002.jpg

Mini rant (okay -- MAXI rant!) about Thred Up!

It's really frustrating and I resent sites that don't let you open listings without signing up.

If they want support and confirmation that their items (or their sellers' items) are authentic, they should make the listings fully viewable by anyone who wants to check them out!

ETA: OMG! To make matters worse, I can't even look at any listings beyond the first page!

I will NOT do business nor recommend ThredUp.
 
QUESTION about an identification and authentication of a wool jacket posted in the main forum, if anyone including non-authenticators but with a knowledge of vintage Coach and non-Coach clothing want to take a look:


Yes I know I should have sent the poster here, but I got lazy.

I responded. I'm positive it's fake.

Genuine, I believe it was called a Double Pocket Backpack. It was made in 1998, but we're still not sure that the B plant was located in Miami, so it's best to just say that it was made in the US.
