Hi There,
Help authenticating this bag would be much appreciated. It feels great, like a real coach should. The leather smells good :-) I believe it is from the 90s? A cross body (the correct name would be appreciated too!) My only problem with it, is that it doesn't have a creed that I can find. It has a leather hang tag, two tags hanging together. It does have a YKK on the zipper. It measures approx. 10"X11". Is it just a really nice knock off? Thanks so much!
Ps...I seem to only be able to post one photo at a time...
If you can't find a logo stamped somewhere on the bag, it isn't a Coach. A hangtag is portable and can be put on any bag so they don't prove authenticity.

Without a creed it's impossible to authenticate. Any bag that size should have a creed patch or stamp since it's bigger than a Swingpack or other small bags that are considered "accessories". My guess is a knockoff that someone added a Coach hangtag to.

BTW, zippers stamped YKK don't prove a darned thing about whether something's a genuine Coach. Read my signature under all my posts, and then read the Salearea Coach Guides posted at Ebay:

2nd one from GW...
Approx. 7.5"w x 8.5"h x .75"d. Strap 23.5" to rings.
I'm guessing GW thought it was fake as there is no creed...LOL! $6.99 worked for me!
Is there an official name, style number, age? Inquiring minds need to know.
Thanks!

Waverly Butterfly Swingpack, I think, but I don't have a confirmed name or number for it in my files.
 
And yesterday was a Coach trifecta at GW...hadn't been there in a week and was pleasantly surprised!
Can someone please have a look?
Approx. 11"w x 6.5"h x 4.5"d. Strap 11.5" to buckles.
2005 Soho Mini Signature Pocket Flap #1463...according to wayback...yes?
Like-new other than a little smushed :)
Thanks again!

Genuine
 
Could someone please authenticate this Coach accessory?
From GW last week.
Approx. 4"w x 5.5"h x .75d closed.
Looks like my dark brown Palm Pilot Case from a year ago or so...yes?
Thanks in advance!
Genuine. BeenBurned might know the exact style name.
Actually, I got lucky on this one! It's style 1902D, small zip around palm 3.

Thank you ladies...I love it when I get names AND pictures :)
 
Here is another Carnival in a very interesting color, is it genuine, and is this color original or dyed? Makes me wonder too, about how many years Coach offered Carnival bag... Thanks in advance for the input!

item # 351452971313

That one is fake. The Carnival was probably only made for a few years in the mid 90s. They made a similar color called aqua, but closer to mint.

What a shame! It's such a pretty color.
Lots of bids on this bugger!
Here's a picture of an authentic one.
