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.
There appeared to be an attached phone pocket in the photos posted by the seller. That and the number (4C-9911) made me suspicious of authenticity. The auction has now ended so the winner may have bought a fake.

LOL! I'm not too concerned. This isn't a case of an item that's questionable or that authenticity can't be confirmed. The bag is without-a-doubt fake and if she wants to be an honest seller of authentic items, she needs to be open to admitting mistakes and learning from them.
Sigh.. so I tried directing her here but she insists that she had the bag authenticated…..

I also reported it to Ebay, I hope they warn the buyer in time. It's always a good idea to check fake-looking serial numbers against the Daria 48 Fake Numbers list. If the list says "always fake" it's FAKE, period.

Please read the "ETA" comments I added, that bag is a bleedin' MESS.

No, I was not the buyer - it was just a bag I stumbled across during a search. Hopefully eBay will pull it before the seller sends it out. Thanks for taking a look at it!

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


Coach made a similar design and pattern but that doesn't prove this particular one is authentic. Please post copies of the seller's photos following the list of required photos we've posted under "READ ME" at the top of each page here when you receive them. The photos you already posted are not enough to authenticate the bag.
 
Hello, folks. I've been considering this bag on Poshmark, but would love some authentication help before I buy:

Item: Vintage Coach Leather Bag - British Tan C6I-9944
Seller and site where listed: dmhenk on Poshmark
Link: https://posh.mk/hNgkf8Jajsb
Comments: I'd like to grab this one, but want to make sure it's valid.

It appears that the photos on the listing page cover what you need. If not, I can request more from the seller. Thank you for your time and expertise.
 


If you need an authentication, read the "READ ME"post at the top of each page and include ALL of the required information and photos in your post. And make a new post, please don't reply to someone else's, new posts that don't refer to an earlier post should be entered in the "Write your reply" box below all the other posts.

Thank you.

Dear authenticators, I have another item that need your help.
Item: coach leather wallet
Listing number: NA
Seller and site where listed: Jeswin-Dhaliwal@Carousell
Link:https://carousell.app.link/3dSzKBaIisb
Comments: I appreciate your help in authenticating this wallet.BTW, do you think the inside material is also leather or pvc?
I have bought a couple of newer coach wallets and the inner material peels off badly.

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.)

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.

The wallet is fine. (It's older than the "white label" timeframe.)
