As our wonderful Authenticators are working hard today weeding out the fakes and fakers , I thought they would need some virtual sustenance.

I am very thankful they are on our side.

Hi Authenticators,

Found a local listing online. Understand that Hyacinth is unable to open Carousell link, so here are the screenshots~

Items: Coach Willis
Seller and site where listed: Carousell Malaysia
Link: Coach Willis

Thank you.

There's one very small detail in the serial number that concerns me. Can you please take an "overhead" photo of the top handle showing the entire top, end to end? Also A photo of the back of the turnlock plate, the one on the back of the flap where the prongs hold the turnlock to the bag, and a full-length photo of the inside pocket showing both ends of the zipper AND the outer edges of that pocket on both sides of the zipper ends? Thank you,

I'd like the other authenticators to take a look at the "No" in the serial and compare it to other comps, thanks!

I saw that post and passed on it because I was uncomfortable with it but not yet ready to state an opinion. It looked "off" but wanted to wait for others' opinions and to see if they had the same questions as I. At the time, I didn't prepare side-by-sides but having done so, I don't believe the bag is authentic.

Interestingly, I had a lot of trouble finding 1998 B examples with the exception of one (shown below) but that one uses a different creed.

From what I'm seeing, the creed on the bag in question has many of the same characteristics as those of the fakes.

In question vs. authentic 1999 B plant:

I see an issue with the handle too.

Hi, first time poster. Found this at a thrift store so it's possibly/ likely not real, but I have found other high-end items there in the past so I just want to be sure, the leather feels really nice. No E1182-18298 it's a Kristin hobo tote. Would appreciate any help from authenticators. Thank you!

Item: Wristlet
Where purchased or how obtained: I purchased a bundle of other bags (both authenticated by Hyacinth) from @Blondiesbundles on Poshmark. She threw this in as freebie.
Comments: Is there an official name for this? Or I guess an available style name?
Thank you so much in advance!

It's an authentic Madison leather pleated wristlet. I believe the style number is 46730.

ETA: What are the other items in the bundle you bought? The reason I ask is that blondiesbundles has sold some fakes and if they're in the bundle, you might want to return them.

It might be 46621 from 2010. I used to own this wristlet and that is what I have in my files. The patent may have had a different style number than the regular leather.

Mine wasn't patent. I bet you're right!

Shame on you @Blondiesbundles.

Thank you and thank you. Wow! What a list! Thankfully none of these were mine. These were mine:

https://posh.mk/UE96lnQU8hb

Hyacinth gave them the thumbs up on July 10th.
Honestly, we don’t purchase anything Coach now without running it through this thread and this is A PERFECT EXAMPLE why.
LIFE. SAVERS.

Genuine, style number 9665 and probably from the early or mid 1980s. I think it might be 5 or more years younger than the date given by the seller. Early 1970s items would not have serial numbers.
