Good afternoon all! Had a couple of thrift finds today that I wanted to have the experts take a look at! It was 30% off day so they were under $30 each. I’m addicted to deal hunting due to the rehab and rescue rabbit hole :biggrin:

The beige bag has a very faint creed that was hard to photograph, and appears to have an outlet stamp (just barely visible on left of photo).

Both are authentic. The red one is a companion bag #9300, made in the early 90s. The camel one is a Ridgefield flap.

Hi all! I’m not very well versed on vintage coach, but I found this “mini ergo” (I think it’s called?) and I am trying to figure out if it’s authentic or not to purchase. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Item: mini ergo 9027
Seller: Jose Manuel Marin
Site: Mercari
Link: https://merc.li/5Xq87wHGb

Thanks all and have a great day!

That seller has listed fakes more than once. Here's what we've found when other members have asked to have their items authenticated:

But since Mercari doesn't work with my browser, please wait for one of the other authenticators to look at the listing.

Comments: I don't know whether there's any way to tell if this is genuine or not. The quality appears to be quite sound. Anyway, I'm really curious to know what you all think. Thanks!

There are probably more fakes but I'm not going through all the listings to find them. I don't recommend this seller!
