We never use turnlocks as primary proof that a bag is fake or genuine because they can be changed and often are. And sometimes plants have been known to use locally available hardware pieces when the OEM parts are in short supply. Things like creed and serial number stamps or construction details that are original parts of the bag and are almost always unchangeable are primary proofs, the rest are just backups. There's no need to be concerned about a turnlock.

I will be considering this post a PSA. This is my attempt to rationalize a purchase. I was able to resist Coach's reloved duffles from 2019 since the only ones I saw were either black or brown. I already have all of the duffles I need in those colors. There have been many questions on the Forum, especially in recent months, as to whether these refurbished bags from Coach are definitely genuine. I continued to ignore the reloved bags until this week. A Maggie duffle...in RED!! I had to see it in person! This is the link to the sold out bag:

We believe in second chances. Preowned and now reloved, this vintage Maggie Duffle is a beloved Coach silhouette first introduced in 1997. The gentlyworn bag has been expertly cleaned, conditioned and lovingly restored by leather specialist Debi Barros. Extending the life of our bags and keeping...

I like that they called it a "maggie". It's certainly how vintage fans know it. Two final points: the first thing I noticed when I took it out of the dust bag was a hint, just a hint, of that post-wash smell that rehabbers know. Second, it looks good to me but, Coach authenticators, let us know!!

ETA: No, I'm not nuts. I did return it. I'm sure that a store employee bought it--they were genuinely drooling. The bag was gorgeous but I can get three and refurbish them myself for that money.

Comments: I've seen some coach bag with perforated designs before but I've never seen this pattern and I was just wondering what it was and if it is genuine?

Thank you!

I've never seen it before but that doesn't prove anything. But there's no way I'd even think of buying it without some solid proof that it's a Coach besides just a stamp on the front.

I noticed that it is being sold in Hawaii so maybe it is a Japanese Coach item.
