Hi guys,

Could you authenticate this bag for me?


Listing number: 955836816
Site: vinted, seller mir14
Comments: she sells A LOT of coach bags, and I've caught more than a few questionable serial numbers so far.



Thank you!
It looks good. It appears to be a small courier pouch.

Thank you!

This one is a genuine Courier Pouch, made between the late 1970s and 1987.
 
The most obvious thing to tell them is that the serial number has the wrong font for when and where it pretends to have been made. Additionally, the month code is invalid.
Thanks so much. I feel so bad, it’s just a small place, lock down just ended this week and they were so grateful to have people finally in the shop. Don’t really think they were being deliberately deceitful.

Maybe not but the law is clear: Because the sale of counterfeit items is illegal, any seller, whether ebay/online, consignment, thrift and (legally) even yard sale sellers are required to verify and know items are authentic before listing or putting an item out for sale. If they aren't expert or knowledgeable, there are plenty of venues or websites for them to find out.

Ignorance of the law or ignorance of legitimacy of the item isn't excusable.
 
Thank you. That's too bad, the leather is so nice and squishy. What is off about it? Just so I know what to say when I take it back.

And if they still doubt you, it's also proven since the use of solid brass buckles by Coach especially buckles STAMPED "solid brass" had been discontinued by the end of the 1980s, ten years before the year code for 2000 stamped in the serial number.
