Hi Authenticators,

Item: Court

Comment: pictured the strap that came with the bag as well. I think it’s the original strap.

Thank you as always for sharing your time and knowledge.

Your pictures aren't working.
Sorry about that. I reattached the pics.
It's fine, made in 1997.
 
OK, I give up.

You've just won this month's "Stump The Authenticator" award. It's definitely a genuine Coach but I can't find any record or catalog listings for it anywhere. All I can say for sure is that it was made in the early 1990s. I've NEVER seen a flap-type bag with that long a turnlock tab except for the Station Bag, and nothing at all with that east-west shape.

If you have a chance, could you post a photo of the entire inside pocket, side to side, or whatever panel the creed is stamped into? Thanks!
Hi, wow how exciting! I am at my overnight shift right now, but I will be out of hear by noon. Will be in my workshop after that. I will def get those pictures of the inside posted.
 
Question...Currently watching another live sale...is K a plant code for China...its on a Hamptons Hobo G2K 7778...creed says China in the wording
Sorry...cant show pictures as its Currently live

Just unpacked a fake shipped to me from shopgoodwill online (Florida). The price was good for a swingpack crossbody. I should have asked here first. I should have looked more carefully, their photo had a blurry creed. Now in my hand, I can read it. The "creed" says: YE-02-57-0589. That's a known bogus number. So many things about the bag look wrong and/or cheap. The quality of leather, number one. Also, there's signature fabric on the inside lining and the outside fabric. I think I read here that Coach doesn't do that. The fabric strap has the words COACH all along it. The zipper pull is embossed Coach. The font is wrong on the embossed "leather" (not sure) on front, especially the A in Coach. The lining is cheap polyester, not canvas or sateen. Trinkety hardware. Oh, well. I have a little stack of fakes that I got by accident, I'll throw this one on the pile. Here's the bag: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/132763099 Edit: looking at the bag some more. I don't even think it's leather. :p Should I return it? I only paid like $7 for it.
