Sorry, just got back from the grocery store and have to put some things away. #3 on Posh and #4 on Etsy are the same bag. Back in about 10 minutes...


ETA -- OK,back.

I can only see the first 5 photos in the #3 listing, the one from Posh, and can't see the creed photo at all. Can you take a look at #4, the one from Etsy? I'm seeing the same creed and stamping.

So, am I going crazy or what?

No, you aren't going crazy yet! BB copied the creed from #4 rather than the one from #3. #3 is authentic.

It appears authentic. Most likely the penmarks are permanent. I would try cleaning them with leather conditioner but if they didn't budge I would leave them alone. Most of the time if you try to remove ink, you remove the dye color and the stains are even more obvious. These appear to be on the part of the bag that won't be seen when you are carrying it.
Thanks for taking a look. Yeah, I figured if they don't come off it's not a huge deal since they are in a well hidden spot. Do you think this came from a Coach store or Coach Outlet?

I don't see any problems with the bag. It appears to be genuine!
Thank you!

While I still have your attention though...

I’m interested in purchasing another Coach piece from the same seller.

Again, unfamiliarity with the product names can’t help me explicitly identify the piece in question but your opinion on this particular piece is very much appreciated

Sorry for the multiple posts but this appears to be an active thread and your opinions on reserved and purchased items will put my mind at rest/stop me from making more mistakes with this seller.

I bought what appears to be a Hallie in a beige/gray colour that is supple and to the touch but there’s a massive red flag on the interior label. The placement of the exterior logo hardware has me second guessing even more as my searches on google and other resale sites show that the hardware on my bag may be incorrect!

Thank you all in advance for your opinions

Both bags look fine.

Note that zipper brand has nothing to do with authenticity since Coach uses and has used various brands of zippers. "Authenticity" guides that state that a certain brand of zipper marking must be present should be ignored.

As for the logo on the second bag, it's right where it should be on that bag. Some bags have logos on the top font, some mid-front, some bottom front, some side and others have no logo. In order for a bag to be authentic, it has to be correct for THAT style of bag. You can't compare logo locations on various styles because what's right for one can be wrong for another.

This isn't a Hallie, it's a Phoebe. Only compare bags that have the same style number (the numbers after the dash.)

Also eager to hear what the authenticators say...meanwhile, I found this photo online and descriptions which say 9 x 13

Thank you for that. I believe that’s it! This this photo come from the catalogues thread? Do you know what year it is? I think it’s an earlier version of the School Bag. I have one and it’s much different and bigger than this. Lots of differences.
I also forgot I have this photo. Now I want to find the strap and of course it’s hangtag
