I'm not seeing a complete creed picture but what I see looks good. It was made in China in 2005. They started using nylon zippers for inside pockets in the 90s. Being made in China, the leather might not be as nice as earlier bags.

Thank you! I had no idea re China leather ... one of the reasons why I love this forum! Thank you thank you!

Hi please check these pictures.. and here is the profile link if only you need it:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009229586829

If you have the item in your possession and the pictures are the actual item, it looks okay. The style appears to be 47989.

I recommend caution when buying from IG and Facebook sellers. There's no oversight on most, items in listings aren't always the same item you'll receive and too often, the sellers have fakes.

It's authentic. It's not a penny. It's a companion bag made in the late 80s.

Is the seller listing these items online? (Instagram? Facebook? etc?) If there's a link to her items, please post it.

Can you post a more legible and right-side-up picture of the creed? It's too angled and blurry to read. I want to see the creed but also type the serial number.



If it was NWT, please post pictures of the tag.

Dear authenciators,
Please help me authentiate this Coach bag.
Name: I’m not so sure
I bought it from a Goodwill. Please see the attached for your reference.

It's fake. The serial number is invalid but frequently seen on fakes.

Although they claim immunity from the law, Goodwill (like any other person or company) is not allowed to sell fakes. And like any other reseller, they're supposed to verify and confirm authenticity before putting items out for sale.

Clearly they didn't do that.

I'd take it back and either demand a refund (in spite of whatever return/refund policy they have) or do an exchange.

Hi! I got this quite some time ago and a potential buyer is wondering about authenticity. Could you please take a look for me to allay any concerns?

Oh no...They definitely didn’t. Thank you for your insights. It’s so helpful!
