Just a little show and tell. This is a first for me. I saw this and had a little rush of excitement and then I looked inside.

Interesting! The brand sounds vaguely familiar but I don't have any other photos of one of them.

ETA - there are a few others on Fleabay.

Kirkland Leather (Handbag,Purse) in Clothing, Shoes & Accessories for sale | eBay

Kirkland is Costco's store brand.

Were you shopping at the Redmond Goodwill? I saw that bag, too.

Yes! I live close to that store so I sneak in there when I can. We may have even crossed paths

 

[SJAllison]

Isn't Kirkland Costco? Never knew they made purses!

It is. And I didn’t either.

Hi there, could anyone please authenticate this bag? In examples I've found online, the chain fits differently on the inside?

Item: Coach handbag
Listing number: 3802872387
Seller and site where listed: smith001
Link: https://www.trademe.co.nz/clothing-fashion/women/bags-handbags/handbags/auction-3802872387.htm

I think I got lost in the crowd, so just posting this again for when you get the chance. Thank you in advance!

I think the bag is okay. I believe the seller may have attached the chain strap wrong.

Hello Authenticators!

I found a couple coach purses at the thrift store and I was wondering if you could take a look for me. Any help would be much appreciated

Thank you for posting the photos!

It's fake. While genuine Coaches can (rarely) have incorrect style numbers, this one actually has a fake font NEVER used by the C plant. The date code is also for a full year before the Taft was even introduced.

Here's a correct J4C- font:

Kirkland Signature is Costco’s private label brand. I know they make all kinds of things with that brand name but have never seen a handbag before.

It looks like an older style and reminds me of Coaches from the 1990s. It almost seems to be the only handbag style they've ever made, (at least it's the only one I've found) but there must have been others. Probably nothing lately since Costco has been concentrating on name brands, real OR fake, in recent years.

Both are genuine, Station Bag and Equestrian Slim Bucket.

 

[Yrelle]

Gone AGAIN.

I wonder when she will get tired listing it!

 

[Hyacinth]

I wonder when she will get tired listing it!

Or when Fleabay will get tired of removing it!

Hi, I'm not an authenticator, but I can tell you the last image is a different style bag than yours. With your bag, the serial number gives the style: F19711. Do a google search on "Coach F19711" and see what pops up.

The bag is authentic.

Because value and selling prices can vary, we don't offer advice on what it's worth. If you do a search of "Coach 19711," active listings will show what sellers have listed the items for. A further search of completed and sold show what they've sold for.

In the future, please refer to the post at the top of each page of the thread for the info we need, including links to listing from which purchased (if bought online) and seller ID. If purchased from a thrift or other source, we need that.

I thrifted this microfibre bag some time ago and totally forgot about it. Poor thing, got pushed to the back of my purse closet. Would really appreciate your opinion on it.
It’s hard to clearly read the creed. I didn’t know that Coach had jumped on the microfibre bandwagon in the past. Is it 1998?

Thanks so much for your opinion!
