Do they both appear authentic? Just from different years?

I don't see any red flags. From the pictures they seem okay. I don't see the typical red flags normally found on fakes.

Hyacinth, thank you! I'm kinda old so the hippie touches appeal to me. Coach sure doesn't make details like this any more.
Any idea why this bag doesn't have the identification numbers?

OH GOODIE !!! I get to give a free plug to the Salearea Guides again!!!

Seriously, you need to read and occasionally re-read the six Salearea Coach guides available through the Pinned post of the same name at the top of this forum. There's a ton of information primarily geared to classic and vintage Coach people about creeds, serial numbers, good and bad information and things you should never believe about Coach and Coaches. I recommend reading the entire thread although the first 13 posts are mostly background.

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

And to keep it short, very old Coach bags and small Coach bags that are considered accessories sometimes have numbers (or creeds) and sometimes don't.

Hyacinth, I appreciate the link. I still remember quite a bit of what I've learned on here, but it's been a long time...

This isn't necessarily relevant as far as authenticity goes, but wow, baldeagledave sure has a lot of these scarves!

Yes and that's why it raised a red flag on my radar as he had more for sale. The zig zag stitches aren't as finished looking to me as the 2017 version.

Awesome. Thank you so much!

Thanks again.

Those were just added in 2018 so if you weren't around here then you may have missed them. Don't worry if they seem confusing at first, there's a lot to absorb and to try and keep straight. But at least you know where to find them.

 

[Narnanz]

this one maybe not because i love too much but i have over 100 to donate..soo..i think i can keep this one

...hey...you could donate some to me!!

Please post a very clear closeup of the hem.

This isn't a great picture but it's what I don't want to see.

Oh the dangers of late night shopping...! Can someone please take a look at this purchase I just made?

Item: Biltmore (although the seller listed it as a Gracie)
Seller: torontofashionmine
Link: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/154392041622
Comments: I realize that colour is hard to judge in photos, but what colour do you think this is? The seller calls it both mustard yellow and beechnut in the listing...
