Hello everyone! Could someone authenticate this bag please?

Item: Court (9870)
Seller: lilthangs on poshmark
link: https://poshmark.com/listing/Coach-leather-ink-marks-on-bottom-605a614460fdedeb54b528d9
View attachment 5103620View attachment 5103621

It's fine.

I don't see anything that alarms me.

Thanks, that's reassuring! The smell really threw me off and I guess I expected better stitching and hardware quality.

Item: Willis, 9927, 2000, Navy? with Silver Hardware
Seller: Thrift Shop ($25)
Dimensions: 10 x 10 x 3

Comments: Please give an opinion about authenticity, thank you. I think that it is Navy but it could be Black. Do you happen to know if the Willis bags made in CR in 2000 with silver hardware came in Navy or Black or both?

I am concerned about one feature of this bag. The zipper pull and chain are definitely silver but the zipper threads might be brass - I'm not sure. I've read that sometimes customers would "special order" a different color hardware, could that explain the variation? Thanks so much!

Item: Sonoma Pocket Shopper #4920, US 1996, Camel? Wheat? with Brass Hardware
Seller: Estate Sale ($25)
Dimensions: 13 x 13 x 5

Comments: Please offer an opinion about authenticity, thank you. The creed patch is a little hard to read so let me know if you need better pictures. I have seen this bag described as camel, wheat, parchment, etc. Do you know which colors were available in 1996 bags?

I often think that the vintage Sonoma bags are overlooked gems; this bag is huge and it's well-made IMO! I like the cute navy striped lining, and I love the fully-adjustible enclosed straps that were a feature of the Sonoma line.

Thanks so much for your expert opinions!

Good morning authenticators!

Can I get these two daypacks authenticated?
Item: Daypack 9960 (black) with silver hardware and Daypack 9960 (blue) with brass hardware
Seller: Flea Market
Comments: Bought these a while ago when I was new into collecting vintage coach and didn't question their authenticity until recently. The creed is really worn out so I apologize in advance. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

I may have been wrong in thinking that the bag could be Navy with Silver hardware. I found this listing from 2000 on the Wayback showing that the Willis was available in Black/Nickel, Black/Brass, and Navy/Brass but not in Navy/Nickel.

I was just going to say that navy came with brass hardware, while black came with both. It's authentic. Many bags around this time have brass zippers. I suspect they had quite a backlog of brass zippers at some of the plants to use up.

Comments:

I'm not seeing a creed picture so it can't be authenticated. If it is authentic, it would have been the made for factory version of the Legacy shoulder bag, not a Mandy, and wouldn't have the creed number mentioned in the title.

It's authentic. The color is probably wheat.
