I picked up this wallet yesterday, and I'm hoping someone would be able to let me know if it is an authentic Coach Sheridan wallet? I am a bit thrown by the fact it has 3 credit card slots, I think Sheridan bifold wallets that I have seen before have had 8 slots. The wallet is about 11 cm x 8.5 cm x 2 cm when folded. Thanks in advance for any help!

It's genuine. There were several Sheridan wallets with less than 8 card slots. So far I haven't found the exact name and number for it but the construction and lining tell me it's real, from the early to mid-1990s.
 
Hello Authenticators,

Both are genuine, and from the early to later 1980s. The serial or registration number in the first one has an extra number which was a known legitimate Coach plant mistake and pins the manufacturing date down to around 1988, give or take a year.
 
Hello Authenticators, I was wondering if anyone can authenticate a vintage Coach men's leather jacket (purchased from the Goodwill auction site). My primary concern is that the creed states the jacket is made from nubuc leather. However, it feels more like regular full-grain cowhide to me! Not at all like the velvety Coach nubuc (ie. Sonoma line) that I'm familiar with. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
(ps. I've never inquired about a clothing item- please let me know if additional pics are required).

Can someone help with this one pls.

the serial is F8P 9049

EDIT!

I haven't decided on this yet but I'm considering it. I'm hesitant because I don't know about the durability and longevity of the current bags. I wonder if the craftmanship of these even compares. ?? I do love the gray with silver hardware coupled with red/burgundy interior. I'm on the fence about it but if I decide to jump, I'd like to know if it's authentic.

This seller is suspect despite the 100% feedback. Why does this person have so many brand spankin' new Coach bags?

Many thanks!

Hi. I hope I am doing this correctly. I purchased a Coach Briefcase. And I can not find these number anywhere. The bag measures 16” wide and about 11” wide not including handle. I purchased it at goodwill.

Sorry, it's fake.

Did you buy it online? If so, please post a link to the listing.

If it's from a store, you should take it back for a refund, or at least an exchange. It's illegal for any store or any person to sell fakes.
