Zipper pulls sometimes have to be replaced. There's nothing wrong with any of it. Early to mid-1980s

Whoa! I am so pleased! Thank you very much Hyacinth for your time and knowledge in this authentication!!! I was gearing up for please let me have hope on the next authentication request!!!

I have a few left to go...is it okay if I request just one more for this evening?

Hi can you please help me by authenticating this bag. I bought it through goodwill online and it came with an authentication from entrupy. The thing that I question is the serial number.
Vintage Court?
Approximate 10”X8”x3.5”

In the future, please include the actual link to the auction, especially if the seller includes a photo of the Entrupy "certificate". Entrupy is one of the least qualified and most frequently wrong online authenticators of Coach items, and all too often their certificates aren't worth the paper they're printed on. NEVER depend on an Entrupy authentication of any Coach product.

You're one of the lucky ones this time though. It's genuine and probably made right around 1989.

Hello Authenticators,
I bought this bag in September but I just found another bag I like better. I was hoping someone can take a look at it for me before I post it. Ps. I found a couple on eBay but they have an "F" in front of their serial numbers so I'm not sure if that's good or bad for me. Thank you again for your time and knowledge. Also, this is my last request for 2020 so I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!! I'm so grateful to have met such wonderful people here on this forum!

Dear authenticators, a request to authenticate please. Thank you!!!!

Item: Whitney
Where purchased or how obtained: thrift store
Comments: 11" height, 11" width, 4" depth. Whitney always confuses me, she seems more in height than width but it measures 11" for both.

Dearest Authenticators,

Firstly I hope everyone had a safe and blessed Christmas.

Please can you find a minute to review today’s impulse buy, if it is authentic do you have a design name, reference and year in your archives that you can share with me?

We really need to see the serial number underneath the creed stamp, if there is one. Those cosmetic cases have been faked often and without the serial number's production codes they're difficult to authenticate, identify or date. Thank you.

Thanks, Hyacinth!

Is it really camel? I haven’t seen one in person before. I have the BT, thought this one looked different than mine.

Hi Authenticators! I found a vintage Court bag on eBay. Details below for your reference.

Item: Vintage Coach Court

Thank you!

Genuine, made in 1999

If the hardware is nickel, then it is camel.

 

[lazysundays]

If the hardware is nickel, then it is camel.

I thought so too and asked the seller but she hasn’t replied yet. Is there any other light brown colour that have brass aside from BT?

Looks good, made in 1995.

Coach's measurements are best thought of as "guesstimates".

Hello lovely ladies of this forum.

I have to pester you with another question and TIA for your help.

I would like to know the style number of this charm, or at least how could have been officially called. I have searched the usual sites and couldn't find any info.

It looks like Camel to me too. Camel and BT were the only light tan to brown colors available in the late 1999 catalogs.

It looks fine to me, the F in front of the other serial numbers just means they're made or were transferred to the Factory stores. The style was originally made for the full-price stores and Coach.com website, yours is one of those.

The actual style name is - are you ready? - MADISON SAFFIANO LEATHER SMALL SADIE FLAP SATCHEL (can't forget the "Saffiano Leather" part!). Here's the description from the Factory Stores 2014 website, click on the thumbnail:

Hello again. Just re-posting this in case it got missed. Also, please let me know if I missed anything in my request (this is my first authentication request.) Attaching a picture of the creed this time as well. Thanks again!

Dear Authenticators,

Sorry about my earlier post. I believe this request will be more specific and in line with authentication request format.

Can you please confirm if the below is authentic. I am eager to pull the trigger on this one as it is a unicorn buy for me.
