Hello, Would you please authenticate this wallet from seller airgela143. It says made in India, and I did know Coach made things in India. If it is real can you tell more about that? Thank you
Coach Bags | New Vintage Coach Legacy Zip Leather Wallet | Poshmark

I agree with Whateve, the tag definitely doesn't match the style, and I don't recognise the style either. I'd like to see a clear head-on shot of the Coach stamp too.
ETA - I should have specified the Coach stamp on the INSIDE, sorry!

This is what a style 4866 Lexington Credit Card Wallet should look like:

 

[Jacynthe]

Good afternoon dear authenticators! A request to authenticate please. Thank you!
Item: Studio flap
Where purchased or how obtained; thrift store
Comments: dimensions are 9" height, 9 1/2" width and 3" depth

 

[vintagecoachie]

As I said, I hope someone else can look at it. I'm not comfortable authenticating without some kind of photo of a known genuine version for comparison.

Hyacinth, I have the 7166 cosmetic case large with original tag, as well as the 7167. Here's pictures of both of them for your records:




ETA: I also have an cosmetic pouch made for the outlet with the bullet stamp. It does not have the bottom seam.

Thanks so much for the great photos, they're a big help! I can't believe they stamped the outlet bullseye right into the body of the leather.

So during almost the same time period, roughly 1991-1997, we had 2 different size Cosmetic Cases 7166 and 7167, a Chunky Case 7165 that went back to the early 1980s, a Skinny Case 7170, a Turnlock Case 7171, and a slightly more recent (1996 ?) Cosmetic Case Large #7172 that had a horizontal seam about an inch above the base. PLUS a Berkeley Chunky Case 7151 that I don't think I've ever seen except in a catalog. CRIKEY! No wonder I can't keep them straight. But this makes it a bit easier. Thanks again for the photos.

Hello would please authenticate this makeup pouch? I believe it is item #9166 and want to confirm. I received it from a relative. Measures about 8.5" x 5"

Oooo-KAY! Based on the photos that @rkiz posted in #57187, it looks like it's genuine, a style 7166 Cosmetic Case Large from the early 1990s.

 

[BeenBurned]

PLUS a Berkeley Chunky Case 7151 that I don't think I've ever seen except in a catalog.

I believe I have pictures of that one.

Interesting... Speaking of this real style, I have the longer version of this wallet pictured with a kisslock coin part. Is my wallet also called a Lexington?

Yes, I believe it is 4865 Lexington framed wallet clutch.
