Hey, all. Might I ask you to have a look at these? I am starting to go through my collection & think about selling some that I never carry, many of which I've had for a while—since well before I even knew about this forum—so I'd really appreciate your opinion before I do anything with them. They're mostly cleaned up thrift/consignment finds, though I'm sure some were probably eBay or a goodwill auction, but I can't remember which anymore, as it's really been a while. I've included two here.
Thanks very, very much, as always!

1) Chrystie bag in white — A5D-9892 — 7"x6.5"x3" (the creed picture was tricky, but let me know if it's still not clear enough & I'll give it another go!)
2) Abbie in black — J8I-9017 — 7"x6"x2.5"

watermelon bag nyc
gift
creed: 744 9860
missing leather zipper pull
color? gold? really yellow gold tone inside. Any idea how old? Every older bag i see ppl say “bonnie cashin” finding out it’s not necessarily true. Would love to know more about determining a Bonnie bag…

It's authentic, made in the late 70s or 80s. Anything that has a creed was made after Bonnie Cashin left Coach.

Hello, this is my first post so apologies if it’s done wrong. I recently purchased this Rogue 30/31 and it seems authentic based on past rogues I’ve owned that were purchased in store. The only thing that makes me question if it’s a fake is that the bottom doesn’t say “genuine glovetan pebble leather” like other heather gray rogues (and rogues in general) say. Is there a specific gen rogue that doesn’t have that on the bottom? Any help appreciated. Thank you!

For future requests, source of items must be disclosed and if purchased online, seller ID and link to listing is required.

I believe your bag is authentic.

It looks like all the bags were made in plant "80," some in 2017 and some in 2018. It looks like the 2017 bags had "glovetanned pebble leather" stamped on them and the 2018 bags didn't have it.

good morning all! hope everyone is having a nice week. Did this duffle come in different sizes? went on my fishing exposition on Offer up so i will be listing a few today . cheers!

I see several problems and I'm not comfortable with that bag. I don't believe it's genuine.

Please wait for other opinions.

Hi All!!!

Would you take a look at my post # 76,614. Red Slim Duffle K8M 9816

BB was uncertain of its authenticity & offered it back up for more opinions.

Sorry, it's fake. There are problems with the serial number and the hardware.
Should the M be D? i can only imagine the years, decades, time & passion that you have to do this…. much obliged, I’m enjoying all my learning opportunities. the bag didn’t cost much… should i keep it & take out the patch & make a flower pot out of it or send it back?
