Thank you Hyacinth! I was wondering about those style numbers after I won the auction. I was dreading the "those are fake" response due to my haste in purchasing. Thank you, thank you!

What is the ES that is on the upper right corner of the creed mean? I have read the guides you created and but didn't see a reference to 'ES'


I'm not sure. It might mean "Employee Sale". And not everything Coach has ever done or not done is in the Guides, or they'd be the size of the complete Oxford English Dictionary. :biggrin:
 
When it arrives, I will take more pics. I was giggling at the claim of being a Bonnie Cashin from the 1960's.

If everything listed for sale as "Cashin" had actually been designed by her or made while she was collaborating with Coach, she would have had to have lived to be 140 and she'd STILL be chained to a drawing table somewhere in Coach's NYC headquarters. :giggle:

"Thou shalt not take Cashin's name in vain" should be the 11th Commandment.

Speaking of the amazing Bonnie (or Cashin's)and her design skills.. This bag.. I want it so bad! I could buy it but then I wouldn't want to use it! I'm just chatting now and I'm sorry if I shouldn't post this here. But look at this beauty!

That's a beautiful bag.

As I understand it, Bonnie Cashin designed for a number of companies, among them, Coach and Meyers. I don't think BC for Meyers has anything to do with Coach although the styles are similar since she made similar bags for both companies.

Added bit of interesting info: (I didn't know this until this minute after googling! Hermes!)
"Cashin designed for over thirty-five firms including Hermès and Ballantyne, always with her signature on the label. She also created the first-ever designer flight attendants' uniforms for American Airlines."

She led an amazing life. I've been researching and reading all I can about her for a while now. I am utterly fascinated with her foresight, ingenuity, and creativity. I can't imagine the crap she must have endured from naysayers or bullying type men in the fashion industry in that era. She is so inspiring to me.
 
Would you please authenticate this messenger brief i purchased at the estate sale? Measures about 16x 11 x 2.5. Thanks

Hi Coach Authenticators!
Could someone please confirm if this is authentic?

Item: vintage coach penny

item#: 234156235894

Seller and site: Debsw52 on EBay

Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-COACH-...=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

thank you!!!!


It's a Pocket Purse, not a Penny. Made in 1995.

It's genuine, but the seller has had quite a few mentions here in the past, although recently she's become much more careful about authenticating items before listing them.
 
Hi Authenticators!
May I please ask to authenticate this item on Mercari?

Item: courier bag
Seller:LC
Where it's sold:
https://merc.li/Uwx9dQxNb
Comment: I've not come across any image of Courier bag with this shoulder strap and wondered whether the strap was made later (to match the bag, maybe to replace a damaged strap?) or there have been a courier bag that came with this strap?
 
Hi, please may I have your thoughts on this one?

It's got a novelty strap, but should it have another strap that came with it? Or it's a tote?

Also, what is the style name and colour please?

Item: unknown bag
Listing: 174914859602
Seller: good deal_uk2015
Site:eBay

Thank you very much for your expertise, it's much appreciated. :smile:
