Dear authenticators
I’ve been approached by a client looking for these pre creed bags but have never seen them before. She found the photos on instigram.

are they fake?

They can't be authenticated with just those pictures. Coach did make these styles. They would be very hard to find. The white one is called a Musette bag, but there are other styles also called Musette.

Gotcha. Thank you so much.

Genuine, from the late 1980s or maybe 1992

Thank you so much! I would never be able to buy vintage purses without this wonderful thread!

Item: Red Signature/Suede Wristlet
Seller: Goodwill
Dimensions: 7.25" x 4.75" x 1"
Comments: Please give an opinion about authenticity - and if you know the name or style number (or if you can point me in the right direction) it would be greatly appreciated. I think that it's a Hamptons large wristlet from the early-mid 2000s, but I couldn't find it online or on the Wayback Machine. thanks so much!

I believe it's style 6F24 from 2006, signature soft duffle wristlet. (Based on the buckles, I believe it's from the Soho collection.)

This is the Wayback page. The description says it has suede trim (as does yours) but the picture shows otherwise.



On the previous page on which I clicked to get to the above, it showed the same style with suede trim.

I can't say much more about authenticity than I've already commented.

It's possible that the bag may have been made to be sold in the Asian market. Coach does make items for various markets so you don't see a lot of them in the US. From my digging, that seems to be the case.

I did find one of the same bag that sold on Tradesy that you can compare. It appears to be authentic.

Vestiaire Collective: Buy & sell designer second-hand fashion.

3 million items, 12,000+ brands. Luxury pre-loved fashion, up to 70% off. Expert authentication, trusted by millions.

www.tradesy.com

The Coach logo on the bottom front of the bag appears to be correct for the style.

Sorry I can't give a definite thumbs up or down.

Thank you so much!

Feel better seeing another authentic bag of same style. Thanks for the link.

Greatly appreciate your assistance.

All the Best.
Mitch

@BeenBurned Thank you so much! No wonder I couldn't find it - I was looking for a Hamptons wristlet! I really appreciate the authentication and the identification information; it's so very helpful.

Item: Pink Poppy Glam Tote 19002 (2012)
Seller: Goodwill
Dimensions: 17" x 14" x 5"

Comments: I believe that this bag is authentic but I always appreciate your expert opinions, thank you!

I've found examples of the Glam Tote on the Wayback Machine described as made from "Smooth Italian Calfskin" (see screenshots below). The leather has a nice sheen and texture and I have seen references to it as "glazed leather" and "waxed leather" and "marbled leather" but I don't know if any of those terms were ever actually used by Coach?

And I'm thrilled that this brave bag still has all 3 of the original hangtags attached! Thanks so much for your expertise and information!

Authentic poppy leather glam tote.

I found this listing showing a tag and the description/name just says LTH (leather) but since the wayback shows that exact bag (see arrow), smooth Italian calfskin would be accurate in describing it. (Note that the Tradesy seller suggests an inflated "value" since the Coach site states $298 as the retail price, not $398 as stated by the Tradesy seller.)

Fantastic, thank you!

 

[daimlerz]

It's authentic. It was called a city willis.

Awww, thanks so much, Whateve! I'll keep that in mind - "City Willis" for the shorter height Willis brief"!

 

[thehippodrome2]

I found this bag at a garage sale. I'm pretty sure it's authentic but I'm not sure of the style or date. Shoulder sac? Slim duffle? It has a NYC creed, so pre-1990's probably. Dimensions are about 11x12x4.5
Any help is appreciated! Thanks so much!

Would you please authenticate this bag I purchased from a family friend? It's about 12.5" x 9.5" x 5* Thank you

Seller: @Kimpollard42
Link: https://posh.mk/5aTTtEQNDrb

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I just thrifted this Willis bag. The leather looks beautiful but the heat stamp is do deep I wanted to make sure it was ok. I’m also confused because shouldn’t there be like a plant code instead of the 3? Thank you so much!
