We've been away on vacation with minimal computer time so I'm late in catching up to this discussion.

I don't know whether @whateve expressed an opinion yet but based on the pictures, my (uneducated) opinion is that the bag appears to me that it's not made by Coach and someone used a creed from a different bag and glued it in to this tote.
1. The creed is a different color and texture than the pocket it's attached to
2. The creed seems to be glued to the pocket without any stitching holding it there. Although Coach used glued on patches for serial numbers and we've seen how they frequently fall off, I doubt they'd ever glue a full creed because if that creed fell off, there's nothing to prove the bag was Coach.

Again, my opinion is that the bag was not made by Coach and someone used a creed from a different bag and glued it in to this tote.


But you posted on the authentication thread, which when posting there IS what you're asking. Although you claim the bag was purchased from Coach, unless you personally bought it, you don't know for sure where it came from. And if you WERE the original purchaser, you would have said that.

My suggestion to you is that unless @whateve or @Hyacinth confirm otherwise, I wouldn't advise trying to sell it unless you remove that patch that someone glued on! (I don't think this was a "prototype" as your "friend" believes.)

JMHO!

I suspect she won't be back to supply the pictures I requested. My first impression was the same as yours, that the patch was just put on by someone trying to pass off a generic bag as vintage Coach. I was hoping to get more evidence to either support or change my original opinion. I also don't believe the bag is old enough to be pre serial number if it was authentic.

Hi all~

I'm going through some bags I've had for a very long time---and some I haven't---and I'd appreciate an authentication for this bag:20210529_104224.jpg20210529_104251.jpg20210529_104457.jpg20210529_104431.jpg20210529_104422.jpg20210529_104327.jpg20210529_104316.jpg20210529_104524.jpg20210529_104511.jpg20210529_104444.jpg

I do not recall where I purchased it....most likely a thrift store or garage/estate sale. It measures 9" W x 4 3/4" H x 2" D with a 23" strap drop.

Thanks so much!!

Can you please authenticate? I think the creed is H7D-9804 or H7B-9804, but it’s a little gunked over and out of focus. If this is authentic, is this an Equestrian Bag or another style? Thank you in advance!
