You are welcome! I'm sure I was a "pest" when I first came here and everyone was very patient with me. I think most of us discovered this site after we had already been fooled by a fake. Even if you read the guides, it is still a good idea to get everything authenticated. The guides will help you spot the obvious fakes, but for others, you need someone who is very familiar with Coach, the era, and the individual style. Coach keeps evolving and things that were true at one time may no longer be true. Some of the guides on the Internet aren't kept updated or always had incorrect information, so you should stick to the guides we recommend.

Thank you, I will definitely read the guides recommended here.

Hi everyone! I volunteer at a thrift shop, and this week not one but two older Coach bags were donated. Could you help with authentication?

First three pics are the first, smaller bag. Last three are the NYC bag which is larger.

Smaller bag:
8.75" wide
5" tall
1.75" deep
Strap drop is about 20"
Color is black.


NYC bag:
11" wide
7" tall
2.5" deep
Strap drop is about 20"
Color is black

Are they authentic? If so, do you know the ages/style names? Thank you so much in advance!

The first is a dinky bag from around 1989. The second is a basic bag from the late 70s or early 80s. Both are authentic.
