Here's a bag I'm looking to sell, and I actually cannot remember where I got it. I think a local thrift. No creed. Authentic? And if so, any ideas on style name or number? Is it vintage? It's super cute and small. Thank you!!!! Measures about 7 inches by 5 inches by 1.5 inches.

It's authentic. It was called capacity wristlet. It is not vintage.

ETA: It was probably made between 2005-2010.

Can someone tell me if this bag, which is up for auction at Goodwill, is real or fake:
shopgoodwill.com

Used Coach (5130) Black Leather Station Top Handle Satchel Bag

shopgoodwill.com shopgoodwill.com
It is item # 139066052, a black Station Bag. Measures 10” x 9” x 2”.

The Goodwill people sometimes get certificates of authenticity for the bags, and sometimes they don’t. This one does not have a COA. When sometimes there is a COA and sometimes there isn’t, I’m not sure whether to interpret NOT having one as meaning that it isn’t real. Also, sometimes there are good photos, including the creed, and other times there aren’t. I chalk this up to different Goodwill operations in different cities having varying levels of knowledge about the advisability of providing clear photos of the creed and other important photos. It’s a nonprofit org., maybe staffed by volunteers, and some may just not know what potential buyers will want to see. I can’t imagine that they knowingly are selling fakes…What do you all think?

I am pretty new to this forum and have been reading a lot of posts, and I’m learning a lot from all of you. I really appreciate having the forum as a resource!

First of all, many of the COAs for Goodwill bags, especially if they're issued by Entrupy, aren't worth the paper they're printed on because their tech system isn't based on details that are actually effective for exposing fakes, such as serial numbers. NEVER depend on a Goodwill COA.

WE can't even positively say that particular bag is authentic since there's no photo of the creed stamp and serial number, and with highly faked styles and brands those photos are absolutely necessary.
