Mercari just message me today and they will refund my money. I sent our conversations to them. Thank you so much to the authenticator. Have a great day
 
Hi all! Looking to confirm these keychains I bought are genuine? I don't actually love the key one, so wanted to verify it was authentic before I try to sell it. Thank you in advance!

Item: Multi key keychain
Listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/393928073405
Seller: desirable.dis_32

Both are authentic. But the one with the keys is missing one of the charms. When you list it, be sure to disclose that it's missing one of the charms.

It's style 62744 and should look like this:

The handbag keychain is style 1744.
 
LOL! I certainly didn't think the "embellishment" was an improvement. That's why I put it in quotes!

The reason I asked the question was because you referred to the bag as "fake" and I didn't believe the bag (itself) to be fake.

I can't imagine why someone would do that unless the original fabric exterior was badly damaged.

@pet1516 - Can you peel back the fabric to see if the original bag was damaged?

This belongs to a mutual friend who’s looking to sell. Frankenbag is not something I want to be involved in. I’ve gracefully declined my help
 
Dear authenticators

I have another odd ball.The factory code is alphabet instead of a number. I recalled reading a post about this but just want to make sure.

Just curious, almost all of the vintage coaches I’ve seen are numbers for factory so why would some have alphabet? Only specific factory or style?

Sorry the creed is not so clear

This bag has an example of a legitimate mistake made by Coach. Sometimes characters in the prefix got scrambled and this is one of those instances.

The bag was made in April 1997 so the prefix should have been D7H.

I agree that it isn't the type of item you want to get involved in if you're going to sell it. If you like it and will use, that's one thing but selling a bag with this type of alteration is looking for trouble.
 
Good afternoon, Dearest Authenticators.

I just purchased this bag on ebay, and didn't have time to request authentication before I bought.

Item: Vintage Coach Black Leather Casino Crossbody Handbag Creed No. B5D 9924

Listing #: 134042484873

Seller: lake_of_bays (3789) on ebay.com

Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134042484873?nma=true&si=QGmXwzKD9IpPYqvYdIqvblHC5ds%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

ETA: I did search the seller on ATC and came up empty.

Thank you so much!
