First time posting, so let’s see if I can do this right. Lol

Bought this vintage Coach at Goodwill last week, looks great to me, but can’t find it ANYWHERE. Looks VERY similar to a vintage Coach Sheridan (vintage Made in Italy) but only has one main compartment, not the two large side “flap” ones. Only cost me $5, so no biggie if it’s not real, but hopefully you can help before I list it. :) Oh, and only the creed— no serial# or other tage or markings (like others made in Italy)... fingers crossed it’s just a rare one??

Thanks so much in advance! Here are the pics:

It's authentic. You didn't provide measurements to help me ID it. There is a hobo that looks similar I've seen before but I don't know if yours is the same without measurements.

ETA: I posted before I saw your measurements! It sounds like you found the unknown hobo I've seen before. There are a few Sheridan styles we've never found in a catalog.
 
I know, that would make me nuts. Well, nuts-ER. There's still a Poppy Liquid Gloss style or two on my Ebay watch list but every one I've seen that DOESN'T have some kind of color transfer or damage issue is priced as if the bag was real leather and not coated fabric. I'd rather spend the money on a nice, salvageable vintage "find" and know it's going to last a lot longer than I probably will. And the vintage bag's color won't "stick" to my clothes or to other bags.
Yes. I've been wearing a simple coach 9326 legacy and I'm always petting it because I love the soft leather. Ps. I'm must be nuts too. Lol

Sorry about that, I’m forever having to go back and add measurements to listings!
so... I know you only authenticate, but your news is good news, yes?
 
May I have help with this duffle please?

Item: Legacy Maggie Duffle
Seller and site where listed: HippyChicVintage4u on Mercari
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m47676388511/
Comments: a friend was looking for a maggie duffle and i showed them this listing and they purchased, but after looking at mine today, i noticed the creed spacing is very different than mine, this is the one from the listing.

Sorry but the bag is fake. Let
HippyChicVintage4u know you want to return for refund.

How is Mercari's return/refund policy?

ETA: Refer the seller here! Here's another Mercari fake from HippyChicVintage4u:

ETA again! Another fake:

And another:

I'm going to stop looking because I get too upset.

DO NOT BUY FROM HIPPYCHICVINTAGE4U!

oh WOWW! I’m so glad I checked my bag and noticed, thanks BeenBurned! At least she knows before she accepts the order
 
Please authenticate this Coach purse

Hi I've had this purse for a few months now and acquiredit from my now deceased mother, she loved to thrift and shop goodwill so im assuming that is where it came from...
Its a small beige purse w black or drunk brown lettering.
I have no knowledge of Coach bags but it is very beautiful and thus inside does feel buttery smooth and not cheap. Idk....View attachment 4901207View attachment 4901209View attachment 4901210View attachment 4901211View attachment 4901212View attachment 4901214View attachment 4901215View attachment 4901216View attachment 4901217View attachment 4901218
It looks OK, made in 2008
Hi,
Thank you Soooooooo much Hyacinth for taking time out to look at for me! I greatly appreciate your knowledge.
 
Sorry about that, I’m forever having to go back and add measurements to listings!
so... I know you only authenticate, but your news is good news, yes?
And is there a name or number you could point me in the direction of?
It's an authentic bag from the Sheridan line. I don't know any other specifics. As I said before, I've seen the style before but don't have a name or style number for it.

More opinions are welcome/
 
There's no way I'd keep them. They weren't supposed to sell fakes (whether they know it's fake or not) and if they aren't willing to give a cash refund, you should at least demand credit for exchanges.

Total for both was less than 20 so I won't bother to return. I visit this thrift frequently and they are such nice people there, I don't want to cause them grief over an honest mistake. The straps and hardware might come in handy sometime, and I can use them myself.
I will need to be more vigilant and educate myself more. I was just so happy to find them that I didn't look closely enough.

I agree that it's authentic but I don't know the name of the bag either.
