Could you authenticate this for me? Much appreciated!

Item: Vintage Court purse
Obtained: second hand store years ago
Measurements: 9.5"W x 7.5"H x 3"W at base
Comments: I'm thinking it's possible this is not authentic because the first three digits of the serial don't follow the letter-number-letter format?

Thanks!

It's authentic. There is no rule that it has to be letter-number-letter. The third digit is the plant code, which can be a letter or a number. Whatever you are using for your guide, throw it out.

Post a link to the listing and the seller's name.

I already bought it and ebay won't let me view the old listing for some reason. Sorry

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

When a plant code is a letter instead of a number, the prefix isn't going to follow the "standard" format. How could it? There are almost NO unbreakable "rules" in Coaches, don't expect them. The bag is genuine.

As Whateve said, throw out whatever "guides" you're using. The Salearea Guides include the most accurate information we can find and hopefully none of the lies, misinformation and BS found in almost all the others.

Comments:

I found this seller on Carousell Singapore. She sells a ton of Coach bags are crazy cheap prices, and yet the photos look quite real (?)
There are also a lot of 5 star reviews, I dont know if the customers really know if it's authentic or it "feels authentic".

Giving this a BUMP. Two posters have commented but none of the listings have been looked at AFAIK.

Hello,

Could you authenticate this for me? Much appreciated!

Item: Cream Devon purse
Obtained: Bought on ebay
Measurements: 9"W x 7"H x 3"W at base
Comments: I didn't educate myself before purchasing, and am thinking now that it may be fake because it combines an older Creed and logo with a post 1994 serial number?

Post a link to the listing and the seller's name.

I already bought it and ebay won't let me view the old listing for some reason. Sorry

Is this the listing?

Vintage Coach Devon Bone Leather Crossbody Satchel Bag Purse 9908 Turnlock Flap | eBay

<p>Vintage Coach Devon Bone Leather Crossbody Satchel Bag Purse 9908 Turnlock Flap. Condition is Pre-owned. Vintage very clean. No marks inside. Inside pocket. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail for $8.95 and funds must be received within 3 days of auction close. Thanks</p>

www.ebay.com

Unless it's been over 90 days, listings remain viewable. You can either find it in your purchases and click the purchased item or you can do as I did and search completed/sold listings.

The bag is authentic, made in 1994.

You're right. It's fake.

You're right. It's fake.

Thank you BeenBurned! This is the second time I receive a fake bag from Poshmark, I will argue with them.

It's probably genuine but it's NOT a Musette, it's a Carrier Brief. The photos are so poor that I have no idea if that's the original strap, maybe someone else can try. I can't even be 100 percent sure about authenticity, the creed photo is even worse than the strap photos.

oh Wow!!! every time I see one of these Carrier Briefs, it's being called a Musette. I'll research the difference. Thank you so much!
