Good morning, my favorite authenticators. I have @katev to thank for this. I've had a slim satchel before in a different color, but this red spoke, fairly screamed, to me. Glued in numbers and NYC but I want to be sure. Thank you for all you do.

@Roro I am so glad that it screamed at you and that you got it. It screamed at me too, but I just picked up a burgundy slim satchel at an estate sale the other day - and I already have a tan one in my rehab pile, so I resisted. I am glad that it went to a good home and I hope that it works out well for you!

Bought this a while ago and am wondering what say ye? Don’t know if link is still valid.

It’s longer then I had expected, and the leather is thick and a little floppy. I couldn’t find any similar bags in the catalog photos.

Could it be a document holder for travel? Did you check the men's items or the business section of the catalogs? It's nice!

I thought men's as well, but can't seem to find it. Most seem to have zippers or snaps of some sort. It seems too long and floppy to be a clutch.

You guys are awesome, as my collections grow!!!! Can you please look at this bag and give your expert opinion. I purchased it at a local Goodwill store. It measures about 6 x11 inches. Thanks in advance.

I need help with verifying this Coach. I bought it at a thrift store. It doesn’t have the normal Coach look to me so I thought it was worth researching. All signs point to it being authentic. The Creed looks good and even the metal hardware is stamped Coach. The leather is of good quality. No cracking. But no matter how much searching I do I can’t find anything attached to that style number. That is the only thing that I question if it’s real. If it is a fake someone put a lot of work in to make it seem real. Any help would be appreciated.
Size is 16in wide by 11in height and approx 3 inches thick

The serial number prefix J8Y- is always fake and was never used by Coach, the Y plant code was ONLY used briefly in a Chinese plant in or around 2006. Sorry.

Thank you very much Hyacinth. Just what I thought.

The J8Y fake prefix seems to pop up rather frequently if I'm not mistaken?

I finally made up sort of a "mnemonic phrase" to help me avoid J8Y bags. It goes "A JOY bag will never bring joy!"

It's not quite right but it reminds me to avoid bags with "J" and "Y" in the prefix!

Hi Authenticators! I’m so humbled by your generous gift of time, knowledge, and experience that you give to this form. Thank you so much! I am a Coach bag newbie, so I would greatly appreciate your expertise in authenticating these bags. I just bought 3 different ones, but am posting 2 now that I think are real (and the third one I think is fake and may post it later to confirm with others since I still have so much to learn) but hoping you could authenticate.

This blue one I found at a local Goodwill store and sparked a fire for vintage Coach bags:
Its dimensions I measured:

9.25” tall from top the bag to the floor, or 10.5” from top to bottom seam
9.5” wide at the top, 12” from side seam to side seam at the bottom of the bag
4” width at the side of the bag
11” drop from top of the handles to top of the bag
25.75” strap length
9” from metal to metal hinge

 

[amanesciri]

Here is the second bag, which is a brown one:

Dimensions:
10.5” wide
10” tall
2” wide at the side top of the bag tapering out to 3.5” wide at the side bottom of the bag
Strap is 41.5” long tapering from 1” at the buckles to 5/8” at the center of the strap.

[edit: this was purchased on shopgoodwill]


Thank you so much!
