Good evening Authenticators,

Item: Saddle Bag (listed as a Rambler)
Listing number: 140374352
Seller and site where listed: Goodwill

Comments:

I wonder if the authenticators would indulge my curiosity on this listing. (Apologies if there is a more appropriate thread to post an authentication question not pertaining to buying/selling. I didn’t see an obvious alternative among Coach-related thread titles, so, here we go.)

As stated repeatedly on this forum, prefix “J6D” is used on genuine bags, but is also common on fake bags. Between the known frequency of fakes with this prefix, the fact I spotted it with about 10 minutes left on the clock, and my far from desperate need for another bag, I’m not interested in buying this one. But I am curious if it’s authentic.

Thanks, as always, for your time and knowledge!

Fixed the link to the listing:

The bag is fake. I'm glad you didn't win it but I feel bad for the winning bidder.
 
Hello Authenticators!

I was hoping you could authenticate and identify this cute little tote for me. I’m having a hard time finding any Coach ads for it online.

Item: “Coach Pristine Vintage Bag”
Listing Number: Can’t locate
Seller and Site: junedaze on Poshmark
Link: https://posh.mk/dnVhtydxkob
Comment: Looks like a tiny Bleeker tote in tan or camel color?

Also, thanks again for your advise regarding the fake Coach bag I recently purchased. All sorted out. :smile:

Have a wonderful weekend, thank you!

I don' t know if it is mold. It looks like indentation marks which has turned dark. I had it soaked and washed in warm water and dish drops but the marks wouldnt go away. It is not really noticeable unless one looks at it closely. The camera catches all the flaws! But I will take your advice and try to look for solution to treat it.
Thank you ya :smile:
Mold damages the leather. First you get spots, then the spots indent the leather. It sounds like you might have a case of mold. If it is dead, it won't cause further damage. You just have to make sure it is dead. If you don't want to dunk again, sitting it in sunlight will kill mold. Vinegar will also kill mold.

Need some help authenticating this bag. Just started looking for one of the Legacy 9966s and this one caught my eye, but some odd spacing in the creed is throwing me off. Thank you!
