Hi Authenticators,

I bought this Trail bag on poshmark last year, and I assumed it was authentic because it came with the box, QC tag and registration booklet. I really hope I didn’t make a very expensive mistake! Please let me know if you would like me to take any pictures of the bag if you need more info.

I bought this on Ebay. Now that it has arrived, I am thinking it is a fake. I don't like how the zipper is sew in.
Your expertise is needed here. Please and thanks.

Hello - I'm new and unsure if I am allowed to post this yet - are there still a minimum number of responses to be made before one is allowed to post for authentication? It also says only seasoned authenticators should weigh in and if that's the case then I'm not sure how I would ever achieve a minimum number of posts! :smile: So here is this bag, I think it is probably authentic but may be from the 90's. Mainly I'm curious about its history if anyone has seen something like this before. Thanks much for your help!

Welcome! There's no minimum number of posts you need to make (at least in the Coach subforum) before posting a request.

That's a strange listing and linda*s***stuff has had a history of (probably unknowingly but not verifying) listing fakes.

The bag is authentic but I'm not sure when all the extra props and decor were added. THey should be disclosed!

I don't believe the rocket ship and stars were done by Coach although they may be adorning vintage bags as part of their sales of the rehabbed classics. The decorations may have been added by a previous owner.

The hangtag with Saks's name on it didn't come with the bag nor did the pink horse and carriage hangtag shown in the description. The flower charm may be authentic but was added to the bag.

I believe the rocket ship and stars could have been done by Coach. It looks like some things they released around the time they did the NASA collection, and they were auctioning some upcycled items around that time. I can't remember where or when the auction site was.

I've seen coach items similar to that rocket ship too but I can't remember the specifics. It could be a personalized custom decoration done at the shop. I has this special hangtag that says "Exclusively Fifth Avenue Coach 1 of 1"

The bag is authentic but I can't even guess what the marks are. It doesn't appear to be ink to my eyes.

It looks genuine but I'm not sure if the strap is in original condition. One end looks like it's been tripled up somehow. I'd want to see a photo of the complete strap end to end with the buckle unfastened or at least fastened at the longest position and hanging straight down so we can see if it's been modified along with photos of any changes that seem to have been made.

We always need to see photos of the original listing if you bought it online.

Sorry just saw this! The strap was just oddly wrapped up. It’s a normal strap. Also what type of bag is this?
