Good afternoon authenticators,
Could you take a look at this vintage Coach bag? The creed image is attached.

Comments: Thank you in advance!
The creed and serial number seem OK but I can't open the listing photos at all even when signed into Facebook. As long as the bag you get has that exact creed and serial number, you should be fine. Just for the record, Coach usually shows "Bellacourt" as one word, like in this Spring 1995 catalog:

I can see the pictures on FB. The bag is fine.
 
I hope I'm doing this correctly.

Item: Coach Poppy Legacy Multicolored Stripes Glam Tote w/ Sequin & Gold Leather trim

Hello! I am a new member, and have learned so much, already. I have several authentic vintage Coach bags from the 80s, so I entirely comfortable spotting genuine bags from that era. These "new" bags, not so much. I was given this bag through my Buy Nothing group, and have been trying to determine its authenticity. The giver had several from this Poppy collection, and I'm completely unfamiliar with it. I did find an identical one online- everything is the same: measurements, creed and number, except that mine has hang tags. I will post the link, and add 3 photos from the one in my possession. I would appreciate any info - thank you so much for this service!
It's fine. It's a poppy legacy stripe glam tote and was made in 2011.

ETA: The bag did come with the 3 hangtags.

Comments: Good Day Authenticators! I thought this listing looked authentic and took the plunge, but I do always like to have a second set of eyes, if you do not mind. :smile: Can you please verify authenticity if you are able? Thank you!
It's authentic. Nice color!
 
I found this satchel at a thrift store this weekend and from the little research I have been able to do it I believe it’s from the 1980s based on the serial number but I was just wondering if anyone knew any more information about it…View attachment 5339455View attachment 5339449View attachment 5339450View attachment 5339451View attachment 5339452View attachment 5339453View attachment 5339454
It's authentic. It was made in the early 90s. It is probably a Beekman Brief #5266. Next time, if you want an ID, please provide measurements.
 
Good afternoon! Can anyone take a look at this please? Thanks for your help!

Comment: If authentic, is there a style number, date, photo or anything to share?
It looks okay. I can't find this exact style in my files.

Thank you so much, BeenBurned. I was under the impression that if M was the first letter on the creed, then it wasn't genuine. But maybe that's for the classic leather styles. I'm still learning, and appreciate your expertise and willingness to share.
