Hi! I’m at a thrift store today and came across this vintage coach flap bag. I think it’s a remake which I’m fine with but the font is so big I’m worried it’s fake! Any help would be really appreciated.
number:c04q-9951
Size: about 9x7ish

thank you!!!

Genuine Patricia's Legacy, it's one of the remakes that Coach made in the mid-2000 decade in China for the Factory Stores.

Good morning lovelies. Can you please authenticate this item? Thank you!

Item: navy metropolis bag
Seller: Loganbuysfast ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3848068574...8PCppDnRt2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It seems okay to me but just double checking. Serial number didn’t pull up any red flags when I searched.


The bag in your own photos(?) in your post is a genuine Metropolis Zip, but that's NOT the same bag as in the Ebay listing you posted. Different styles,different serial numbers.

Another comment on the seller, loganbuysfast.

In addition to showing pictures of a different bag than the one you received, loganbuysfast also sold this fake.

thank you. I looked at it again and I mixed up the listing. I bought 2 very similar bags. The one in MY photos was from Facebook marketplace.

I also have the one from Loganbuysfast. Here are the photos of the one Logan sent me, which does appear to be the same as the one in his photos. So sorry for the confusion. I tried hard to not mix up these 2 but I did anyways!

Genuine. I believe it's a Lewiston Bag, style 9931 and made in 1993 or early 1994. Please check to make sure the two bags have the same details, sometimes it's hard to tell just from a few photos.
