Hello all!

This appears to be a fake. Please verify it's authenticity. Thanks much!

Correct. It's fake and M4S-7414 is a known invalid serial number.

Remember to include seller ID: sidebyside555
 
So, I took back the fake you all authenticated for me yesterday (thank you, again). Got a refund. While at the thrift store, I found THIS. On the chance it's real, I snatched it up! Please help authenticate. It looks good to me, but I'm not an expert. A clue for me: inside the inner pocket was a Coach care booklet. I've never seen a bag like this, it's very cool. The hang tag chain is hilarious, with giant hardware. Serial # D1421-32262. Any info appreciated! And, once again, I can't tell what color it is, brown or plum? Any ideas? Size is approximately 7 inches tall (not counting the handle), by about 9 inches across by about 3.5 inches across the bottom. Made in the Phillipines tag.

It's fine. It looks like it's called a Bleecker mini Brooklyn bag and was made in 2014.
 
Please help authenticate. I've never seen a serial number like this, a string of numbers no spaces or dashes. No letters. Suspicious? No. 74203709. Thank you in advance! Oops. Forgot to put size info. It's about 9.5 inches wide by 6.5 inches tall by about 2 inches across the bottom.

Measurements are 11 3/4” long, 8” tall and 4 1/2” deep at widest part.


That fits.

The serial number isn't a problem. It's mentioned in the Salearea Guides. Genuine Pocket Purse, style 9455 from the late 1980s.

Thank you!! When I looked up that style online, none of the photos have the flap turnlock. Could it be a different style? And in researching further, I read that the 8 digit serial numbers and creed stating "Made in USA" were from the "mid to late 70's." Does any of that fit with the photos? PS: After 1/2 hour scouring the internet for matching images, I think my bag might be a 9755.
