Item: Aero Small Pocket Zip?

Hi I purchased this bag for 20 bucks on ebay. The Creed looked okay to me but I'm no expert. All the bags I have are made in the USA and the quality of the leather is definitely different then this one (Made in the Dominican). Also the seller provided me with a pull tag with a lobster clamp that is brass and the bag had silver hardware so I was a little thrown off and wanted to get it authenticated before I rehab it and gift it to my friend. Thank you so much for providing this service!!!

Measures 9.75x8x2.5

I'm not looking to buy this bag, but hoped you wouldn't mind checking it out? I've never seen a creed like this. Thanks so much!

Hi, I bought this coach tabby 26 off eBay but I can’t figure out if it’s authentic from the creed as it’s so hard to read - I’ve added 2 pictures where the main text and code below are in focus as best as I can get and some pictures on the ‘made in tag’
From looking around online I thought the letter was the day of the month it was made and to me it looks like a H so potentially not authentic? Also on the strap snaps it almost looks like it says Doach not coach

here’s the eBay listing , hopefully you can still see it even though it’s sold toohttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coach-Tabby-26-oxblood-Crossbody-shoulder-bag-immaculate-/185258849497?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Any advice is really appreciated

Thanks Hyacinth. I've been looking for an everyday bag in that color.

It's a genuine Aero Small Pocket Zip made in 1999. The long pull strap given to you by the previous owner isn't original to the bag. There's no reason to include it if you're gifting it.

And yes, Ebay listings are usually viewable for about 90 days after purchase.

hello! i purchased my first coach bag on poshmark and although it’s NWT, since i’ve never seen a coach bag before i was just wondering if you guys could authenticate it for me. i wouldn’t have a single doubt about it being authentic if the seller didn’t have so many of them.

let me know if you need better pics. it says coach on all of the hardware and it is fairly new, coach swinger signature jacquard and it came out in the spring.

it came in plastic wrap reading “coach” and then the bag, and inside of the bag there was the crossbody strap and dust bag.

*edit: i looked up the # and this style came up so i think it is real *

Wait for one of the experts in newer styles to authenticate it.


Please read the READ ME instructions at the top of each page. We require the listing number if it's an Ebay listing, the listing link or URL, and the seller's name or ID ESPECIALLY with anything on Poshmark since that site is a safe haven for fakes sellers and anything listed there needs to be authenticated because Poshmark almost never removes fakes.

You said "i looked up the # and this style came up so i think it is real * DON'T EVER BELIEVE THAT! Why wouldn't counterfeiters copy serial numbers from genuine items? The only thing that finding other examples of the same same style proves is that whoever made the bag, whether Coach or crooks, put the right style or serial number in it. If you buy highly faked brands like Coach based just on the serial numbers matching, you'll probably be making some VERY expensive mistakes.

And sometimes at least with older or vintage styles, having "COACH" stamped on any or all the hardware is actually a big red flag.

If you're getting this information from some "authenticity guide" somewhere on the internet, you're getting some really BAD information. Please ignore it and anything else from the same source.

I have happily found so much great info on this site over the years. Recently, I purchased a NYC Coach Classic Shoulder Pouch (current style no. 9170) from a thrift store. It seems to meet all the requirements to be authentic except for the unique two-tone strap with the slightly less than stellar sewing/construction on the underside of the 36" strap. I did see a comment regarding unintentional two-tone strap with regard to another 9170 authentication but would appreciate a second opinion. Years ago, I shopped the Coach Outlet Store in Reading, Pa where they had a wonderful second floor for "Factory Seconds" so I am aware that not all of their products are perfect. Measures approximately 10”W x 9”H x 4”D. I'd love to hear back from you, I know it's not a huge issue but it keeps nagging me. Many thanks for your time and expertise!

Hi! I posted this authentication request prior to being a member for 5 days. Hoped that after the 5 days passed someone might provide an answer? Thanks
