I don't remember what I had for breakfast but I do remember the discussion (from last May).

The seller did have a listing in which the bag was fake but it was an item that she'd purchased from Goodwill and she bought the bag assuming that the Entrupy "authentication" was dependable.

The seller is a member here although at the time of the posts, I didn't know her seller ID. She contacted me after my post explaining where she purchased and why she made the mistake (i.e., trusted Entrupy) and has not made other mistakes prior or since.

This is another example of an Entrupy mistake not only ripping off a trusting buyer but of potentially damaging a seller's reputation because of ENTRUPY'S error.

Item: Coach Bucket Bag
Where purchased or how obtained - Friend's parents' estate
Comments: Having trouble verifying this bag. Only one 4-digit number on creed and verbiage is light and hard to read in pic. Here is text:
COACH
THIS IS A COACH BAG. IT WAS
HANDCRAFTED IN COSTA RICA
OF NATURAL FULL-GRAIN COWHIDE
THAT IS WATER RESISTANT AND
EXCEPTIONALLY DURABLE. GENTLE
TUMBLING PROVIDES A DISTINCTIVE
TEXTURE WITH NATURAL GRAIN
VARIATIONS.
4907

Thank you!

It's probably authentic. There should be something like "No. E6M -" before the 4907, not necessarily those letters or number. I think I see there is something there in the photo of the inside of the bag. The straight on picture of the creed has too much glare. Can you take the picture at a different angle?

As I researched I knew there should be more numbers there. But the creed is so lightly embossed that the only way I was able to read it was with a jeweler's loupe. I have looked and looked for more numbers but there is none. That's what's throwing me off - also that I haven't found that same wording on the creed in any of my research. Here's a closeup of the area where the number is. Hope this will help. Thanks!

Hi Hyacinth,
I was reading this forum and noticed people still ask for Coach authentication for bags with COAs from shopgoodwill. I never thought I had to worry about those bags. Do I?
Thanks,
Anne

I'm not Hyacinth but we've seen many mistakes on COAs, particularly those done by Entrupy, who does a lot of the authentications for Goodwill.
