Hi there,

Can anyone please tell me whether this logo is authentic? I haven't seen it before. Unfortunately the seller hasn't listed any further details about the bag or more photos. I've asked for lots more pictures but not sure whether to bother following up if you can tell that the logo isn't authentic.
Many thanks! View attachment 5584477View attachment 5584478

I'm not comfortable authenticating that wallet. The pictures in the listing don't enlarge enough for me to see detail and your uploaded pictures are too grainy when I enlarge them.

If you can ask the seller to add or send a couple of additional pictures, they may help. I'd like to see the lining on the inside of the gusseted sides and if she can feel around and open the pockets (probably the longest undivided pockets) to find a small white tag with 2 rows of letters/numbers. (I believe the wallet should have it.)

This bag looks good, IMO.

Other opinions are welcome.

Hi BeenBurned. I have asked the seller to look for the white tag. She said there isn't one. She bought it in 2011. She gave me these instead. I dont know if these are of help.

If that bag was authenticated by the company whose COA is shown, it makes me question the credibility of their authentications. Without a picture of the small white label hidden inside the bag, there's NO WAY the bag can be authenticated and for them to deem it as genuine means they don't know what to look for when authenticating.

That is what I thought. I emailed them asking for it and they emailed me back with the following.
Thank you for your inquiry into this listing. It is appreciated.



Please note that this bag, like many of the newer Coach bags, does not feature a serial number on the creed patch, and that like many newer Coach bags, it does not feature a serial tag.

I don't think I will give this any further time, as I don't believe it is authentic either. Thank you so much for your time.

Is this authentic? Just curious because of the number.
Item: Vintage Coach purse
Listing number: 175368953068
Seller: jon2094

Is there actually a matching leather phone pocket sewn onto one side of the bag?

If there is, that's a HUGE red flag. Please post a clear photo of the creed and serial number showing the number you're worried about.

If there IS a sewn-on phone holder, the six Salearea Coach Guides warn that where that kind of phone holder is sewn onto a vintage bag, it's a strong indication of a counterfeit bag. The style doesn't ring a bell either.

ETA - I just got a more complete listing page with enlargeable photos. That bag is a piece of junk. I hope you're not the buyer. There's nothing right about it.

Vintage Coach purse.

Fake Coach stamp by lower right corner of the flap.

"Elephant-skin" stretch marks all over the entire bag.

Fake style with really bad fake strap.

"CharaCteristic" AND "full-Crain" are misspelled.

Fake serial number 4C-9911 with missing production codes that's also right near the top of the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List in the Salearea Guides thread.
