I believe they're both genuine, but bags with Factory Store style numbers can be hard to verify.

The first one was made in 2007 and I think is a Factory Store version of a Soho Leather Flap Satchel. I've never seen it called a Brompton, it was a Soho Leather Flap satchel on Coach's website when it was originally released in 2005 and still uses the original 2005 style number.

I can't find a name for the second one but it's one of Coach's nearly 100 Hamptons styles. This particular one was made in 2008 and might also be an outlet version of an earlier style.

More opinions are welcome.

Can you post a copy of the creed and serial number photo from the listing? I think the seller who is re-poshing it may be re-using the original seller's photos and my computer can't open them. If you posted your own photo of the creed, even better.

The color of the bag being sold looks like BT to me. Mango is more of a bright orange, see the 1993 catalog pic below, click to enlarge. The color of the inside pocket where the creed is stamped is often the most accurate photo of the actual color.

You received a fake from SS April Mott.

Get a refund!

Update! Mercari customer service is giving me the runaround, say they cannot access the Purse Forum "for security reasons." I sent them the link and also screen captures of the authentication fail. They claimed they couldn't read it and to send them a zoomed in capture. I did that. The girl herself, SS April Mott, denies it's fake. "It's not fake. I promise on everything I love. It's a vintage bag. Real leather and it has coach on the inside. I would never lie to anyone who is buying something." I think she just didn't know. Such a rigamarole for a small-ish amount of money. Meanwhile, the return is still in limbo... Moral of the story: check here first before buying (or certainly before accepting).

The last one is fake. Take a good CLOSE look at the wording of the creed.

The first two might be genuine but we'd need photos of the areas mentioned in the READ ME post, as well as measurements.

Hi Authenticators,
Could you please check this bag for me? It feels amazingly soft so I hope it's a good sign but I'd feel better if you could look at it. Thank you always.

Also, what year is this bag? Dec. 95 Italy?

Hello, Councillor Miss Nugent, how fortunate I am to run into you! Please DO come to my Candlelight supper a week from Thursday. I have sent invitations to you for my previous Candlelight Suppers but they seem to have gotten lost in the post. If you happen to run into His Majesty, please DO suggest to him that a review of the Royal Mail might be in order. Service has been DREADFUL lately. Our postman boasted to me that he was in a Beatles film when he was a child and it seems to have completely gone to his head.

The handbag is Genuine, from May 1996, Costa Rica. Like my white Slimline telephone with last number re-dial, that bag has no connection to any Continental location, Italian or otherwise. Even if the name "Lafayette Bag" sounds rather French. My husband Richard's family is French, you know.
