Also, I have these 2 little cuties. Apparently, now that I've got a rather large collection of Coach bags, I've turned to accessories... ;) I know it's hard to verify authenticity on small items like these, but I thought I'd post them and see what y'all have to say:

1. Accordion card case
Obtained: in my possession now, bought some time ago on Poshmark; I could look up the seller if need be
Dimensions: 4 x 2 5/7 x 3/4

2. Accordion coin pouch
Obtained: also purchased on Posh a while ago
Dimensions: 4 x 3 x 1/2

Good morning, all! I'm 99.9% sure this is genuine, but I'd like to be 100% sure:
Item: chunky case
Obtained: in my possession now; bought from Mercari seller Closet overflow
Dimensions: 7 3/4 x 4 1/2 x 1 1/2 approximately

If it is indeed genuine, when was it produced? My guess is late 90s since the hardware and lilac color match an ergo I have from 1998. But I could most certainly be wrong. Anyway, help is always much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Looks fine.

First is fine. I'm not familiar with the red one but I don't see anything obviously wrong.

In the future, even for ended listings and items in your possession, include links to listings and seller IDs. As long as a listing is still viewable, please show it.

Seeing the seller, listings and descriptions can be helpful in assessing sellers.

In this case, I'm still sure the chunky case is authentic but I think Closetoverflow is wrong in believing that her ebay seller had done a poor dye job. I believe that the original color IS lilac! I'm not a rehabber and as such, not a perfectionist but I don't see any indication of "not the best dye job."

Looks like it could just use a good cleaning. Beautiful!

It was a weird one. When I got it, it did have a little lilac paint or something on it that came off really easily when I washed it. The original color was indeed lilac, and it looked fine without the paint, better actually. It's in the middle of rehab now. Some slight irregularities in color, but hardly noticeable. I don't know why there was ever any paint applied, but all's well that ends well!

While items can function as various items, I don't. think this pouch was intended as a tablet case. (I can't recall tablet cases being made as early as this item would have been and unlikely made in the US.)

You might want to double check the measurements against your item to make sure it'll fit. Based on the various sleeves I've had, they measure from 9.5" to 11" wide.
Good idea, thank you!!
 
May I have this Coach satchel looked at...I'm not going to buy it but am trying to learn about some other styles

Comment. The Cs have arrows on the ends of them.
It's fake. There is a copycat brand that uses Gs like this. This is the first time I've seen a mix of Gs and Cs and a creed. I'm seeing F34U as the prefix. I wouldn't even know how to interpret that. Is it 2034 with a plant code of U, or 2003 with a plant code of 4U, which would be extremely weird?

Thank you...was thinking that myself when I saw the arrows on the cs...will tell the seller
 
Hey y'all. Looking to authenticate. Purchased from a little shop at Boardwalk on Broadway in SC this past weekend. Any help is greatly appreciated.
