It's an authentic POCKET purse and was made in 1995. There's no such thing as "penny pocket."

Hi Authenticators,
I just got another 3 bags from the Thrift stores. Can you help to authenticate? Thank you
All are black. I wish I can find some nice coloured Coach.
I will do 2 posts as I can only paste 12 photos.

Item1 : Coach City Bag
Where purchased or how obtained : Thrift Store
Comments: It's not in very good condition but my friend has been looking for a city bag for so long and it is not everyday that a city bag appear.

Item 2: Coach Station Bag
Where purchased or how obtained : Thrift Store
Comments: Also not an easy find but I was just lucky!. This is for keeps! My first Station Bag.

Item 1 - authentic.

Item 2 - Sorry but it's fake.

Item 1 - authentic.

Item 2 - Sorry but it's fake.

Thank you BeenBurned. Item 2 is fake. Is it because of the fonts and Made in "The United States" should be at the bottom of the creed? I will need a reason to let the seller knows as she thinks that coach bags made in the United States has to be authentic. I am still learning and I have much to learn.

The creed is incorrect for 1994, the year in which the bag is claiming to have been made.

The serial number font is incorrect for the year and plant (1994 C).

ETA: Here's a listing for an authentic station bag that was made in the same month/year/plant as the fake you bought:

Item 3: Coach Court Bag
Where purchased or how obtained : Thrift Store
Comments: This is my 2nd court bag. (My first one with silver hardware has no strap and I couldnt find a good leather strap to use with it)
This strap is non adjustable and I wonder if it is authentic?

Authentic made in 1994.

I need more discretionary income. I think this will be one of those bags that will be difficult to authenticate as Coach but may be easier to verify as Bonnie Cashin. I also need to stop scrolling ebay.

Hi Authenticators,
I got lucky again today at my local Goodwill and found what appears to be a Dinky, maybe an early one? The inside navy in the light. I’m excited and can’t wait to rehab it. I wonder if it’s authentic when it was made. Thank you!

Measurements: 9”x5”x1.5”
