Comment: This one has the exact numbers as the one previously authenticated here, but I'd like you ladies to confirm that this one is good.


There are 2 different creed photos from 2 different examples of the same style. I don't see any problems with either one although one of them doesn't have a serial number but the seller shouldn't include photos that don't belong to the bag being sold. If you're buying it for resale it would be a good idea to clarify which creed the bag you're actually buying has. A creed without a serial can create doubts in a buyer's mind.

Thanks for noticing that @Hyacinth! Great catch, because I missed noticing it.
As always, you ladies are the best with sharing your time and expertise. Many, many thanks!
 
The first one is genuine, from 1997

The second listing is what I would call deceptive. The trademarked name "Cashin Carry" is in the title and that brand name was registered to items designed by Bonnie Cashin and sold by Coach. That arrangement ended in 1974 when Cashin and Coach parted company and to use it for a handbag that wasn't even made until MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS LATER is extremely deceptive and attempting to give it a value it does NOT have. It's like selling a CZ as a natural diamond. Coach still owns the trademark and has even used it on some recent styles, but this isn't one of them.


When someone uses deceptive practices to sell their items, I refuse to authenticate them.
Thank you Hyacinth! The history of "Cashin Carry" is really interesting.
 
Hi, please help authenticate this pouch. Any help appreciated! Coach, or counterfeit!? I bought it from a reputable online seller who labeled it "Coach." When I tried to sell it on ebay, it was removed as counterfeit. PS: If you tell me it's counterfeit, I'll try to get my money back from the orignal seller. If you tell me it's legit, I'll sell it on another selling venue.
