Can this be authenticated please? If it’s real, I think 9755 is a Pocket Purse. I know colors are hard to determine onscreen, but might this be Putty? I think E5C means 1995, but Wayback only goes to ‘96 and the only pale option I see is Bone which I thought was more cream.

Also, might not be the best question for here, but I figured I’d ask: any opinions on this purse style?

Thanks!

Authentic pocket purse. Bone was a 95 color but this looks too dark to be that. There was also a taupe but that seems too dark for how it looks in the pictures.

Personally I love the leather on this style but it is a very small purse. I haven't tried one since I downsized to a smaller wallet. Years ago, I couldn't make it work with my large wallet.

Thanks for the positive authentication (yay!) and feedback. My phone case is my wallet so I think this might work for quick errands as it has a separate pocket I could put my keys in.

Mystery color then. TBD!

Can this please be authenticated and IDed if possible. Not much info, I don’t see a clear photo of the creed so I don’t know if you even can do this, but COA says 006-4022. This was an accidental “buy it now” when trying to check shipping costs (blergh). Thank you!

Without a creed picture, it can't be authenticated. (And I NEVER trust Entrupy!)
 
Dear authenticators, could you please help me authenticate this vintage coach court bag? Details as follows:

Item: Vintage coach court bag
Listing number: Not applicable
Seller and site where listed: @snugs_corner / Carousell
Link: https://www.carousell.sg/p/10931709...114685&utm_source=copyLink&utm_medium=sharing
Comments: As this is a singapore based site, if you can't access the link, I would be most grateful if you would let me know so I can attach the photos and description here. Thank you!

Look forward to hearing from you :)
 
Hi:

I would greatly appreciate your help with this bag. Thank you so much!

Item: Coach chelsea bag

Seller: lorac2015


Sorry, I do NOT authenticate any items from that seller. And from things I've heard about her and the person she "follows", I wouldn't buy from either of them if they were the only sellers of vintage Coach on the planet. I STRONGLY ADVISE that you don't either. TPF members have targets painted on their backs thanks to those two.

Search for posts mentioning her "boss" and you can see why. The first two names below are the most important but all the others should be avoided too. Think of " LORAC15 " and " LORAC2015 " as his second-in-command. Anyone who's a member of his private "Coach Trash" group that he formed to spread lies and obscene filth about tPF and Ebay members is included in that warning.

AVOID:

VINTAGECOACH4LESS
VTGCOACH4LESS
VINTAGE EXCELLENCE
DAVE EDWARDS
barne-acadi
madmerekat
barne-acadi
ACSGOODIES
madmerekat
Acadia Barnes-Conrad
Dave Barnes
VintageStuff
resaledeals4you

and any listings with authentication certificates or COAs from " ItsRealBaby " signed by Dale Barnes or Dave Barnes

I'm sure new names and aliases will keep showing up, so PLEASE pay attention to the above information.

There was also this Poshmark listing:

Then there was the famous "Hostage Hangtag" incident in one of her Posh listings, now gone:



My final piece of advice - HIT THE BACK BUTTON AND, as Pink Floyd would say, "RUN LIKE HELL".

Just my opinion, of course.
