May I kindly ask for your kind assistance in authenticating these Rambler bags? Were they at one time made in China and available in blue and in red? Thanks so much.

They're all genuine Rambler's LEGACY bags, the "Rambler" is an older and larger style.

Coach made around a dozen different classic and vintage styles in the early to mid 2000 decade and most if not all were made specifically for, and were sent directly to, the Factory Outlet Stores.

Beware! Two of the three sellers you asked about are "mixers," i.e., they mix fakes and authentic items.

IMO, sellers who mix can be more dangerous than a seller who never sells a genuine item. Buyers tend to trust and believe in their integrity.

I'm not good at correctly ID'ing pre-1994 bags. Too many are similar to each other and I don't always know the small differences.

@whateve and @Hyacinth will probably know the name.

It looks like a Stewardess Bag style 9525 from the early to mid 1980s. It may be the airline version but I can't see any stamps on the strap, and the strap may have even been replaced. We'd need better photos of the strap near the ends or of any stamps or markings to be sure.

Hi! I just got a Coach bag on Goodwill auction - paid (with shipping and tax) under $50 so I see this as my first rehab project. Is it authentic? Now that I have the bag, I notice that the front snap is missing. If I can identify the year / name of the bag, I can look into getting the right snap (Binocular snap?)

Something that makes me suspect is the paper that is under the lip behind the snap ... although I suppose something had to be used.

As noted in the photos, this thing is filthy and getting it's first bath. Wish me luck!

It's authentic. Remember to post a link to the Goodwill auction. It is not the same snap as on the Binocular bag. It's a magnetic snap. It was made around 1992, part of the Carriage classics collection. It's probably a Dover bag.

Hello authenticators. Can I please have this Willis authenticated. I don’t have wedsite info, I bought it privately. So I’m only have these photos. Thank you so much View attachment 4949404

In the future, please post the photos individually, especially the one of the creed and serial number. Most of the time it's VERY hard to enlarge a collage of photos enough to see the details needed for authentication, although in this case the creed and serial number are readable. Thank you!

It's a genuine Willis made in 2005.

The bag is authentic.

The seller isn't one of the hall-of-shamers. (Her ID is similar to debsw52 so I think that's who you were thinking of.)

With that said though, 5 negative feedbacks within the last year is high and several are for inaccurately described items.

Thank you @Hyacinth once in hand I’ll add additional photos on to aid further review.
