Thank you Whateve for the correction! I certainly don't want to misinform or incorrectly call out a bag.

Here is the link to the bag that had the strap you were asking about. I never had the bag authenticated because I don't really care if it is authentic. I just wanted the strap and for $25, why not..

What a deal, and that's a perfect strap!

Hello, hello!

Could I trouble you to have a look at this Prairie bag for authentication? It may not mean anything, but I thought the difference of depth between the creed and number stamps was a little strange.
From Goodwill's auction site, item 138759685

Many thanks.

The bag is authentic but the strap isn't. I don't know if they took the original strap and shortened it or if they substituted a different strap since there aren't enough pictures to tell. I can't believe it isn't mentioned on the authentication. It is normal for the creed stamping to be less or more deep than the number as they were done at different times with different equipment.

Is this slim hippie authentic? I’m used to seeing this made in Costa Rica. It has the bulls eye but I’ve seen that faked before so I just want to make sure
Purchase place: goodwill
Name: slim hippie
Serial numbe: 9131
Measurements about 9x9

thank you!

It's genuine, made in China in 2000. I've never managed to find the exact name or any catalog page or webpage for it so it may have been made just for the Factory Outlet stores. Outlet-only items almost never were listed or saved on Coach's main computer system.

Comments: Would a knowledgable Authenticator look at this bag for me? It’s pretty but the Creed tag looks sketchy to me!

 

[Coffeefirstbeforewetalk]

Would like to request authentication on this bag. The creed looked authentic to me but seller didn't disclose the poor stitching on one of the inside edges, there seems to be some sort of inner layer peeking out that looks like cork.
I believe this is a Lafayette tote. Shame because the leather is really soft.

Bought: Carousell Philippines.

Good morning and happy Sunday, dear authenticators. I have two items to inquire about and I will create two posts for them. This tag intrigues me. I'm not sure if I want to buy but I surely would like to know if it's authentic. I'm not sure what you need to see to authenticate something like this. If more photos are needed, please post what you need and I will request.

I'd like to see the other side of the price tag with the production codes, also the other side of the hangtag and any label that's on the box, but I don't think it's really necessary. I'm not sure what makes it "promotional", it looks like style 123G which was a regular keychain style AFAIK maybe from the mid to later 1990s. BeenBurned posted pics of it a few years ago.

Thank you very much, Hyacinth. I'm not sure if I will pursue the key chain but I'm happy for others to see your opinion.

I bought one of these brass hangtag key rings a couple of years ago and it's a nice item IMO. It's a good size and weight. The post at the link below contains links to a discussion about these items and lots of pictures.

Genuine and made in 1995.

Vintage Coach bags were handcrafted and sometimes had stitching that wasn't perfect.

Hello authenticators-
I purchased this bag at a local thrift. The only problem with thrift shopping on the fly is there is not time to request authentication before having to make a decision.
I’ve learned a ton here due to your willingness to share but am clueless when it comes to newer bags.
I did do a google search on the number and with the word counterfeit and didn’t find anything suspicious. I also searched this thread.

You made a good decision. It's a Small Duffle Sac made in 2002. It will have its 20th birthday and be officially "vintage" next month.

It's authentic, made in 2002.

I don't know the official style name but it's probably something along the lines of leather soft duffle.

ETA: Oops, @Hyacinth beat me to it.
