Invalid plant code, invalid font, wrong hardware.


good morning,
Could you please advise if this large bucket is authentic
Knowing which plant codes are "valid" isn't going to help you authenticate a bag if you don't know where the plants were located, when those plants were used, font used by various factories or creeds and texts used in which years.

Although it's an invalid plant code (among other problems with the bag you showed), the F plant can be valid and correct on other bags.

To avoid buying or listing fakes, it's best to have your items verified until there comes a time that you're familiar enough with what to look for that you can validate items yourself. (And for all of us, there are going to be some items we still have to ask about!)

Thank you so much. Definitely will take years of experience to be able to come even close to what you do. Thank you so much for educating us.

Good evening,

could you help me authenticate this collegiate bag? I’m hoping it’s authentic.

Would you mind checking this one out on Mercari? Thanks so much!
Seller C2E Shop
https://merc.li/a4AukR3Jb

ETA: I just got a message the seller canceled my purchase five minutes after it was processed. They then, of course, immediately turned around and resisted the bag for twice the price. When I tried to message them, they have me blocked. Jerk.
I wonder why C2E shop is being a crappy seller! I'm sorry she stuck it to you.

Just for that, I won't comment on her listing because I don't recommend buyers give lousy sellers their hard earned money.
 
Hey guys! Hope you guys are having a good day.
could you guys help me authenticate this Coach
Purchased at platos. Looks real to me. Just wanted to make sure

Good morning! I need a hangtag for the large duffle from 2014 that was British Tan edged, and lined, in neon green. The hardware on that is nickel / silver, so I'm considering this one. Hoping it can be authenticated.

2.25" Large COACH SILVER NICKEL METAL KEY FOB BAG CHARM KEYCHAIN HANGTAG TAG


seller: weloveourbags
Item: 133844968222

Thanks in advance. Hoping, as always, for good news. (though I haven't bought this one yet )
 
I've had several Bedford items also (including the same wallet as @whateve posted) and all have lozenge lining.

I've seen that diamond lining before and it's always been on a fake.

The listing doesn't show it but I'm betting that the zipper pull is off also. @Bales25, please post a picture of the zipper pull.

Here's the zipper pull on that fake wallet trying to be a Bedford. The seller is saying they purchased it as a Coach and still believe it is Coach, but are not disputing the case. Still waiting for PM to approve a return, though, but it's the weekend so I'm assuming I'll hear tomorrow.

I think this authentication request may have been missed, I hope it’s ok to bump this? Thanks!


Good morning! Can this be authenticated please? Thank you!

Item: Vintage Coach Black Leather Crossbody Purse
Seller: shopgoodwill
Link: shopgoodwill.com/Item/126288203

Note: Based on size, shape, and specs, I think this is a Pocket Purse, but the creed is that early serial # without a style #. These stump me even after reading the SA guides.

Your picture isn't really clear but this is what the front and back of the zipper pull should look like:
