Please check this one. In my files, the flower has silver hardware. Did they make a brass one too, and does it have the same style number, 94051?

It was available with 3 different color combinations for the flower, and I know at least the Multicolor one was available in either Silver or Brass so the other colors probably were too.

ETA - Just checked, I may actually have the Pink one with Brass but the price tag's not on so it's hard to be 100% sure. I have the Multi with Brass too. The colors of 2 pairs of petals on mine are different than Coach's pic but exactly the same as the one you're asking about. The stock pic looks like this:

I don't have a picture of the color of the flower in the listing but this is 94051 with brass hardware and the tag.

Thank you! I have the blue with silver hardware.

Those things have never been sold as free standing items. They've been ripped of purses.

And the other seller Whateve referred to is stevinky and his listings included fake parts. Some hangtags and all boxes and "authenticity cards" were fake. Yet after nearly a week of reports, all the listings are still up.

I forgot that stevinky mixed fakes in with his chop-shopped items.

I don't have a picture of the color of the flower in the listing but this is 94051 with brass hardware and the tag.

thank you!

Comments: This was a purchase made a few years ago before I was even aware there was such a site for authenticating Coach purses. I bought this off a local Facebook online yard sale site. I didn't pay much but now I am pretty sure it is a fake. I just wanted you all to be clear that at the time I bought it I was clueless about authenticating.

It is fake. Coach never used that lining, never made signature purses in the US and there is no number on the creed.

The reason most of us authenticate is that we were fooled by fakes in the past and we want to help others not make the same mistakes we did.

It looks ok.

The bag arrived and it is in great shape but I am not sure it is British Tan. Do you know if the logan bag come in tabac? Thanks!

Coach made many versions of British tan over the years so it could be BT and not match other BT bags. I don't think they were using tabac as a color in the 90s. The ad I have for the Logan shows it came in bordeaux, black, british tan, bottle green, butterscotch, mahogany, navy and stone.

Curious about this one.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/gold-plated...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I REALLY don't know. They did a very similar style about 4 or 5 years ago but the charms were slightly different. If this one is genuine, maybe a remake for the outlets or the Asian market, I never noticed it or saved a photo of it.

Here's the "original" one, style 93079

Thank you. That's the one I knew about. I couldn't find this one anywhere. I didn't want to take a chance on it. Even if it was made for another market, usually someone on the forum or ebay would have it.

The seller also has this one that I don't recognize:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/preowned-da...221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27ff8af88d

The hangtag looks wrong but I thought it might just be the angle.

I'm not comfortable with that either but I wouldn't report without better pics.

The hangtag IS wrong. Those early metal and enamel fakes almost always have really BADLY MADE hangtags with incorrect, non-trademarked fonts, bad fonts on both the hangtag and on the C charm is a major red flag. And remember what I said about the enamel surfaces? Look at the hangtag - this one has more hills and valleys than the Rockies. The surfaces of the colored OR white enameled keychain hangtags from the mid-2000s should be completely smooth, see the close-up below. And below it are 2 photos of style 92018 which is the genuine version this cheap POS is copying.

It's absolutely fake.

I wanted to point out that this seller jycjes.eoi9mtfpv has listed the brass one again.

Do you see problems with those we haven't discussed yet? It looks like they have some of the same charms.

Wondering about this bag's creed. It states "finest materials trimmed with leather" when in fact, it's all leather. Opinion please. Thanks.

I asked if there was a creed & received this answer: Hello no there is no creed the cashin line didn't have one. Diane

I know that early bags did not have a creed. I asked anyway to get a picture if the bag indeed did have a creed. Any red flags here? Thanks

I'm not at all comfortable with ANY of jycjes.eoi9mtfpv 's listings. I don't believe any of the keychains are actually fully made by Coach although a some might have some genuine charms. The enameling doesn't look right, the fonts on some appear to have serifs where they shouldn't and the links don't look right.

This is definitely fake too:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Preowned-CO...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

as is this. Look at the C shape pattern on the round cutout charm:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-gold-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I don't recommend jycjes.eoi9mtfpv.

Are you sure the picture she sent was the bag in this listing? The bag does appear to be a BC bag but it doesn't have a creed.

The seller may have erred and sent a picture from the bag in a different listing.

Thanks for authenticating. You misunderstand me, sorry if I wasn't clear. I asked if the bag had a creed & to please send a picture if it did. Seller replied that bag did not have a creed. Do you know what the official name was? Thanks again & have a great weekend!
