Hello, After I nearly traumatized myself by purchasing then returning that horrific fake Willis, I treated myself to a Briefcase from a local estate sale. Would you please authenticate? The measurements are about 16" x 10" x 3". Thank you.

Got it. Thank you for your reply. Originally, I thought China don't have a coach plan until 2000 (Said in Salesarea Guide), so I thought this coin purse is made after 2000.

That should have been updated somewhere. Coach was making business and travel items in China as early as 1995. And small accessories were probably made there even before that.

BTW, it actually says "Production moved almost completely to China starting in 2000 although a few handbags and some travel and business items had been made there for several years already, and all Signature C fabric bags are only made in China and the other Asian plants and have only been made since 2000. Any Signature C bag with a year code from before 2000, or with a plant code or place of origin that indicates it was made in the US, is counterfeit."

So it really doesn't need a correction.

Good Morning,

Please may I ask for an authentication review for one of two of my latest purchases...

Where purchased: Vinted UK (No Link to Sold Items)
Item: “Leather Coach Handbag“
Seller: gawjusclothes
Comments: Now in hand. I believe her to be a Stewardess, Style 9525. Year: Unknown, Pre-1994. An abusive former owner has sewn a zipper across her main opening (!), which I will be removing pronto. Measurements approx: 9” x 11” x 4”.

Many thanks in advance, as always. Stay safe.

My second request of the day, just before lunch and ready for the weekend

Please can you review and hopefully authenticate this battered little Coach Metropolis, now in-hand:

Where Purchased: Personal Sale (from a friend, too daunted to rehab)
Item: Coach Metropolis, Style: 9087
Year: 1998
Comments: Navy Blue (?) she still has the original press-stud Coach button loop internally (I don’t know the technical term, apologies). Creed stamped with FS (Final Sale) and Bullseye (delete - Retail item transferred to Outlet?). Strap needs some stitching (strap loop currently STAPLED together).
Measurements: 8” x 9.5” x 2.5”.

Many thanks in advance, stay safe as always.

Genuine Stewardess, and actually pre-1988 since it's an NYC creed. Roughly early to middle 1980s.

Thank you @Hyacinth for your exciting authentication. I’m hoping she rehabs beautifully.

Thanks again, take care

Thank you for your authentication @Hyacinth - I might need to lose the strap loop during rehab though.

Thanks again, stay safe.

Good morning Authenticators,
Could you please check this bag I bought from shopgoodwill? It looks and feels ok but I would appreciate your expert opinion. Ps. The original posting didn't have many pictures so I'm attaching some extra photos below.
Thanks so much for your help!

Hello would you please authenticate this bag I purchased from an Estate sale? It's about 11x 7.5 x 3. Also with the double strap, does that match the bag? Is this an early convertible clutch style? Thank you.

Hi again: I'm on a purple (perhaps Ink?) kick lately. I saw this and pounced before authenticating as the price seemed fair. The bag is in my possession and the attached photos are my own. Thanks again for any help!

All look fine. The creed of the first one is different from the other two because it was made in a different plant.

Thank you so much!
