Good Morning- Authentication Request
On the bay
thank you

Vintage Brown Coach Purse - Number N9G-9061 - Crossbody, Rambler, Sidepack | eBay

Coach Number N9G-9061. As stated on the Coach Creed label: Handcrafted in the United States. Brown leather. One exterior slip pocket in the front that is hidden under the flap enclosure. One exterior slip pocket in the back.

www.ebay.com

FAKE.

The serial number has an invalid plant code, and I'm seeing indentations on the back of the turnlock. The binding or piping on the bag doesn't really match the bag's color, and that wasn't a feature of any Rambler's Legacy.

I was listing this purse on behalf of someone I knew, but someone messaged me via eBay saying it was a counterfeit and eBay took the listing down.

I don't know about Coach, but brief reading doesn't make anything stand out. As far as I know, this person bought it at a thrift store years ago. I don't want to sell someone a fake and risk my account. I also don't want to miss out if it is genuine.

N9G-9061
Approximate dimensions:
height 7.5” x width 9” x depth 3.5”

Thank you for listing the issues. It’s no longer listed so I can’t go back to look. I had noticed the plant code but didn’t see the other issues. Thanks again.

@Lb228

When listing something that you PERSONALLY didn't buy directly from an authorized retailer, it's recommended that unless you are expert in the brand, for your own reputation as well as for the health of your ebay account, you should always verify authenticity before listing.

In fact, the law, and by extension, online sites' rules require that sleler

Please read the IMPORTANT - READ ME post at the top of each page and include the actual link to the listing (Poshmark usually keeps those available long after the item has been sold) and also the seller name or ID as well as the rest if the required information.

Sorry! Fixed.

Like many Poshmark sellers, doesn't verify authenticity of her items.

This one is a fake that she sold:

Authentic.

Great! Thank you, @BeenBurned !!

Not that I know of other than they should be the same distance apart as other bags in the same style and made in the same time period. I din't even pay any attention to them, and have never owned that style so it wouldn't have struck me anyway.

We never use strap details, or the details of any other part of a Coach bag that can be changed or replaced such as hangtags, as a primary proof that something is fake. As ADDITIONAL evidence sometimes, but never the primary proof. We need to depend on the integral and unchangeable parts of the bag like creeds, serial numbers, production codes, and construction details to tell us if it's real or not.

Thank you Hyacinth.

Hi Authenticators, could you help me check if this purse is ok?

Item: coach court bag

Seller and site where listed： poshmark
Link:https://poshmark.com/listing/vintage-coach-black-leather-crossbody-bag-61d9e2d2fadba4fae077363a
Comments: I add it's serial number below. Normally coach will avoid using "I" in their serial number because it's hard to differentiate "I" and "1". So I'm not sure if this purse is authentic.
