I'm not sure what detail on the bag you're worried about or what previous posts you're comparing it to, but I'm not seeing any problems. The style number isn't clear, but the creed and serial number look right. I believe it's a style 9997 Legacy Small Zip made in 1998

It's harder to tell with the wallet. Most of those swing styles don't have many specific details that can be authenticated, but it seems ok. It could be a style 4843 Swing Wallet from the early to mid 1990s, but the details just aren't clear in the seller's photos. We'd need better pictures of the details on the inside to be sure of the identification but it' looks authentic.

Hi Authenticators!
I'm posting on my friend's behalf today. Appreciate your guidance on authenticity.

Comments: my friend says that the hardwares are all silver colored. Hardware may have been replaced but is the bag real?
Measurements of the actual bag from my friend: 11"w 9"h 5"d

Thank you so much!!

In the photo it looks like the strap buckles are brass-colored. The turnlock does look silver color but I'm not sure if it's a Coach turnlock, regardless of color.

Unfortunately my computer can't access or open the photos of the inside or the creed and serial number. If you or your friend can copy and post them as a Reply to my post, I can take another look. Or maybe one of the other authenticators can look at the listing.

Thanks!

It certainly looks silver. Either the hardware was replaced or the photos are inaccurate. The hardware looks nearly new. The creed looks good.

Good evening Authenticators,
I purchased this Patricia Legacy from Poshmark seller june_cleaver . The seller stated this bag was previously authenticated by TPF.

By previous posts, I was referring to other older posts where a creed with plant code J8D was fake. And there are quite a few. Additionally, the Salearea guide says that while J8D could be real, it is often found as fake. #39. So 2 data points that would make me think that the bag at issue is fake.

In a previous post (years ago) you provided an image of an authentic J8D as an example. Am I right in that the key giveaway to you is the inaccurate font? I guess with font, if you know you know. And I do not know. But that analysis goes to the second issue. To me the style number looked like 9887. You said 9997. Which would make sense since the bag in the listing is the same style as a #9997 or small legacy zip. But I don’t know styles and my eyes still think they look like 8s. So there you go, my thought process that led to my doubts. I just ignored the wallet.

I have a question regarding this authenticity doc from shopgoodwill.com. The GW listed as the seller is in Colorado. The Entrupy certificate holder is Onna Mack/Magnifique Boutique of SC. Date 5/16/22. Shouldn’t GW be the holder of the Cert? Did Onna get the Entrupy auth cert on 5/16 and then donate the bag and cert to GW CO? That seems unlikely.

I also went to the CO cite and it looks like all the Coach bags with Entrupy Auth Certs are held by Onna.
