...and this Coach Leatherware bag?
My sister found it at an estate sale...cheap!
Approx. 6.75"w x 9"h x 3"d. Strap 19.25" to rings.
Can't make out the word stamped above the creed...anyone?
Would love to know any and all info anyone can give.
Thanks again!


Hi! Could the word stamped above the creed be 'IRREGULAR'? I've seen that one before.

It looks good to me and yes, that says "irregular."

We looked at another of those a week or so ago. It's a Flap Drawstring from the Lightweight line from around 1991, style 4029. Here's the Holiday 1991 photo

Hi Authenticators,


I've been communicating with the seller about this bag. Can you help me check if it's authentic please? The seller doesn't have the receipt for this.


Item: Fire Sale! Retail $660. Brand New Coach Leather Shoulder Bag (Mini Borough Bag)
Listing number: (n.a.)
Seller: wwypowerpuff
Link: https://carousell.com/p/21788206/
Comments: This is not an auction.


Thanks so much! Really appreciate all your help! :)

Sorry, it's almost impossible to authenticate without readable creed and serial number photos. All I can say is that there aren't any obvious problems.

It's authentic. Your finds continue to amaze me!

Thanks, BeenBurned...I'm lucky, that's for sure!

Your eyes are sure better than mine...yes, that's what it says. I also have a bag that's stamped "IMPERFECT".

It looks good to me and yes, that says "irregular."

Thanks for this too!

And THANK YOU for the catalog photo and add'l info. My sister is an avid yard sale and estate sale shopper. She got this for $.50...and it's in amazing, nearly new condition!
 
Please confirm if my suspicions are correct, fake, no?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-COACH-Signature-Canvas-Leather-Crossbody-Bag-40725-/261939486439

I keep finding these since I have 40725 as a saved search looking for the Leather Legacy Swing-packs.... Grrr.
Be sure to include the sellers' IDs in authenticity requests.

seller member57304

Your suspicions are correct. It's fake.

I don't recommend member57304. Not only does she sell fakes without verifying that items are authentic but she mixes authentic and fakes among her listings, particularly misleading to buyers looking for honest sellers.

I'm not a Chanel expert, but her "Chanel" listing is an obvious fake with the same cheap gold signature lining we see on so many fake Coaches.

That number's been used for a LONG time in fakes. It's mentioned in the "Almost always fake" part of my Fakes List here at tPF, and I think Daria48 has it on her list at Ebay too:
http://forum.purseblog.com/showpost.php?p=26447783&postcount=1078

"Coach items with these numbers are ALMOST ALWAYS COUNTERFEIT
and need to be looked at by an expert:..

...-40725 has been showing up in fake bags and Swingpacks"


EDITED to add - According to other listings on Ebay, 40725 is the Legacy Signature Swingpack, not the leather one. This one still has the price tag:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-COACH-6...946?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ce173abaa

ETAA - there are a TON of bad fake 40725s in Completeds - please be sure NOT to report the genuine Signature ones!
http://www.ebay.com/sch/Clothing-Sh...gn=-1&saslc=1&_salic=1&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50

The other fakes sellers along with " member57304 " are:
emoiadi
patd205
cfen7599
hodon29
caplady13
jeromejeune7724



BTW, If you're actually looking for the all-leather version, that's probably 40712:
