Comments: Thank you!

I can't see the photos in Depop auctions so I'd need a creed photo of the bag to authenticate it.

That's strange that you can't see the pictures, @Hyacinth. Were you trying to scroll across? If you scroll down, there are a few more pictures.

The bag is fine and I'm pretty sure that the wallet is too! You got a great deal!

Hello authenticators! Could someone take a look at this bag for me when they get the chance?
Item: Becket Zip
Listing number: 125960922
Seller and site where listed: shopgoodwill

Comments: There are more pictures (one of which being the creed) if you scan the QR code, but I have attached the creed picture below for convenience. Also, I tried finding catalog images to determine the color, I don't believe this would be considered British tan and I'm not sure what the color "stone" would look like, but I believe the Becket came in many other colors that weren't listed in the 2 catalog pictures I found. Any thoughts of what this color is called? Many thanks in advance!

It's genuine, from the early 1990s.

ETA - I can't find any examples in the 2 catalogs I looked at that show Stone, which is listed as a color choice in 1992-93 for the Becket, on a bag, so I'm not even going to try guessing the color.

Here is a picture of stone.

It appears authentic. It was part of the Poppy collection, probably called tartan groovy. Made in 2011.

Authentic. I believe it is a escort bag #4016 from the Lightweights collection, made in the early 90s.

Hello Authenticators, first timer here. I was wondering if you would be able to check these 2 bags listed on Ebay when able to please? I'm not sure about the Court to be honest, possibly too difficult to read the creed properly. Thank you.

Both are genuine and made in 2000.

There's a problem with the black Court Bag strap though. The end has been cut off, it's straight across and shouldn't be. The buckle holes are too far from the strap end. And in the model picture it looks like the strap buckle sits right on the shoulder when it's at full length and it shouldn't. Coach NEVER does that, and it's REALLY uncomfortable to wear. I got stuck with one like that from Ebay and the strap was unwearable with the buckle digging into my shoulder. I think the strap has been badly butchered and you would have to replace it if you bought the bag. It's not disclosed in the listing either.

Find another seller.
