You did good! It's fake. This style was faked a lot. The real version is so nice!

Just learning here @whateve ...is it because of the serial number being fat and H as a plant code?

Several things. 1994 is too early for the style. The font and spacing aren't correct for the H plant. In 1994, the H plant hadn't switched to the new style creed with the place of manufacture in the body of the creed, so the wording is wrong and the place of manufacture should be at the bottom of the creed.

Thank you...will file away for next time.

Oh good! Thanks

I did, however, pick up this cool bag from the same shop. Could you take a look at it as well? Any thoughts on a period and style name? Thank you!

Authentic Mulberry bag 9899 from around 1992. I recently got one of these.

Authentic Legacy zip made in 2001.

I'm glad you asked about this one because the style is a highly faked one and a lot of the fakes are close.

Thanks BeenBurned! Glad to know ❤️

Please remember to post measurements when the style number isn't included in the serial number.

If it measures about 10x8 inches, it's a Mulberry Bag, style 9899 from the early 1990s

Wonderful - thanks!! I like the adjustable strap style. It’s a great size as well.

Sorry, Hyacinth! Yes, it’s about 10.5” x 8.5” but that’s quite squished

Hello, I’d like help authenticating this:

Item: Court Bag
Listing number: n/a
Seller and site where listed: yconnie on Poshmark
Link: https://posh.mk/mKlAVYBXcab
Comments: The creed looks like it’s pre-1994. I thought that Coach didn’t introduce the official style numbers until 1994, so it’s odd to me that this one has 9870 printed in the serial.

Thank you!

I can't read the creed. It appears to be 1994 or later, as I can see an E in the prefix. I need a better picture in order to authenticate.

What worries me is that it looks as if someone's tried to scratch off the first part of the serial number.

I would NOT recommend buying that bag, especially at that price.


ETA - I've enlarged it as much as I can, tell me what you think:

I still can't tell. It's possible shadows could make it look that way. I wouldn't recommend it either.

 

[Ravvie99]

It's fine.

Thank you so much!

Now plz take away my credit card ...
