Good evening everyone! Today I found these 2 bags at a yard sale and am hoping someone here could tell me whether or not they are authentic? The woman I purchased them from claimed they were somewhere around 15 years old.

Regina:
This bag had a small slip of paper in the interior pocket that reads "INSPECTED BY 3"

Both bags also have white along all the interior edges like in this photo:

Any information is greatly appreciated :heart:

Both are authentic. Regina made in 1996, court bag made in 1997.

There should also be a small fabric tag, usually white, all the way at the bottom seam of one of the pockets, probably the largest one. Bags that don't have stamped creeds should always have one of those, with the bag's production codes and style number. See the Read Me post at the top of each page. Then wait for one of the authenticators who knows recent styles.

Please authenticate when you can. Thanks much!
Item: vintage top zip coach leather clutch
Listing number: 144132700764
Seller: ctstudebaker2

Comments: This appears to have an interior pocket formed with leather that the creed is stamped onto. I've not seen an interior pocket like that before. If authentic, do you have a name, style # and any other info to share? Would it likely be BT?

I'm not comfortable with that pocket design and would like @whateve to take a look. Maybe it's a newer style I'm not familiar with. Is there ANY "COACH" stamp on the outside of the clutch? Please post photos.

@whateve - I'm wondering if that outlet stamp if it's real might have been stamped into something it shouldn't have been. Didn't we see a similar style with a full-length leather inside panel recently?

ETA - No, it's not a 7165. That style doesn't have any kind of inside pocket. In fact I can't think of any similar cosmetic case with an inside pocket especially one with a long leather panel.

EATA - Found it. DL Harper asked about a similar case but with a fake serial number less than 2 weeks ago. Seems to me that if that first one was fake, there's a chance this one's probably fake too. The creeds are different but that's not important. And why sew a full-length piece of leather onto an existing fabric pocket inside a cosmetic case? Or is it some weird clutch we've never seen? Nine inches seems long for a cosmetic case.

I keep thinking about that mysterious Greenwich line from 1999 with the ticking lining. - ETA - Nope, those were twill.Never mind.

Very interesting! It looks like it is trying to be 7172 cosmetic case large, made between 1996 and 2000. The zipper pull is different, and the shape seems off. I don't like how the bottom lining is seamed. None of my cosmetic cases are finished that crudely. It is possible that a real 7172 would have the pocket made the same way but I have no examples.

Hyacinth said:
The description of the 7172 doesn't say anything about an inside pocket either and Coach always mentions details like that in the description.

It's just too similar to that other fake we looked at in July for me to be comfortable with it, especially when we've never seen any examples before with that leather-covered pocket except for one fake. The way the stripes on the lining are lined up, or rather NOT lined up, bothers me too. I'd still like to see if there's a Coach stamp on the outside and what it looks like.

ETA - Found a saved Drilldown pic of the 7172, the outside details are completely different, look at the bottom.Here's a blowup, click on the thumbnail:

Hi ladies, at your convenience. I forgot all about this little bag. I picked her up at this Goodwill Outlet on the other side of the county that sells things by the pound. This set me back a quarter.
About 8 " x 4 1/2" x 2 1/2 ". I did not realize until I pulled out the ticking that there is a small slip pocket behind the Creed. Then the slip of paper fell out with the inspection #.

So what is my purpose here other than to make things interesting on a Saturday night?? Right??
It appears I may have the same pouch that authentification was requested on. Taking into account wiggle room for measurements, I think mine is in the ballpark. When this little pouch is on it's side, it does have the same detailing as the red in the photo Hyacinth posted. The zipper speaks for itself. My photos above were pre dunk. While I dunked it and was giving it a little toothbrush scrub from every which way, I saw the baby Cartouche on the bottom. I completely missed that initially. I will post that in a moment.
