Good afternoon! I remembered I have another Coach bag that I want to have you all look over to authenticate. This one was purchased over a year ago at a local Goodwill and has been collecting dust in my closet. It doesn't have a number anywhere so I'm thinking it might not be genuine.

Item: Coach brown mini Boston bag?
Where purchased or how obtained: local goodwill about a year ago

It's authentic. It was probably made in the 1990s.

Please feel around inside all pockets and buried deep inside one of them, you should find a small white label with 2 rows of letters/numbers. Please post a picture of it.

I didn't think it had one but I found it! Hopefully that's a good sign...

Comments:Hi I bought this bag from her a while back and never had it authenticated. The stamp is very light so the numbers are hard to see. Also, the straps have four holes but there is one left on each side that didn’t puncture all the way. Wondering if this was intentional? If you could please help thank you. I’ve also attached some of my own photos.

1- genuine Drawstring Sac 4015 from the Lightweight line, late 1980s

2- genuine Companion Flap made in 1998

3- the creed and serial number aren't readable and it can't be authenticated

Thank you!

I'm sorry, but it's fake. There is a real problem with the serial number font, it's wrong for the plant indicated in the serial number's production codes. There are a few other small details with things like the hardware and the drawstring, but the incorrect serial font would be enough to prove that it isn't genuine.

How long ago did you buy it, and would it still be covered by any return policy from OfferUp? I'm not at all familiar with their Terms.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, we met in person and did a Zelle transaction. I do have another one I purchased from her so I will post that shortly. I don’t think she knew it was fake. ☹️

Possibly she didn't. The incorrect details are the sorts of things that you would need either an extensive collection of photos and details of genuine and fake Coaches, or a proven genuine example for comparison, and you would have to know what details to look for.
