Hello, again, one more from me: Is this one purchased from shopgoodwill.com authentic?
https://shopgoodwill.com/item/160838483
They are calling it:

Authentic Vintage Coach Red Leather Waverly Tote​

Thank you!


Genuine. But it's actually a Soho Buckle Bag, NOT a Waverly Tote. EitherGoodwill or Entrupy or both got the name wrong.

From the Spring Preview 1998 catalog:

This time, it's not Goodwill and/or Entrupy who got it wrong. It's another company (that doesn't want its name shown) COA that is shown in the listing and who authenticated it without a creed picture!

Hello again, looking for authentication on a vintage bag. Photos in listing below

Item: Vintage Coach Navy Blue Shoulder/Crossbody Bag
Listing number: 285160770870
Seller and site where listed: tfog0308 on eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/285160770870
Comments: if authentic then this bag is sometime from the late 80s/early 90s I believe? Not sure what the style is, however. Coach 9902 Oliver?
 
Hello, kindly requesting a look for authentication on my latest purchase:
Item: Vintage Coach Willis 9927 Brutish Tan
Seller: Classic Designer Bags (Catherine)
Site: Etsy
Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/139008...how_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details
Notes: It’s a beauty, details seem and feel genuine, Coach creed notes made from China which was my question
It's authentic. I don't know how a 2003 China item is going to compare to an earlier or made somewhere else item. I had a 2001 China made bag that had great leather, not sure about 2 years later.
 
Hi,
Please authenticate this Coach Shoulder Bag. The leather seems a bit shiny for a USA Made era bag..
• Thrift find
• 9” length x 9” height x 2.5” width.

It can't be authenticated without the creed picture. I personally don't have enough experience with this bag to authenticate it at any rate. I didn't take detailed pictures when I had one in my possession. I bought this bag new from Coach then returned it due to the weight. The huge tassel makes it lopsided. Here is a picture of mine (with an added green tassel.) The leather does seem smoother than the one in the listing but I believe they varied. One of my regular Legacy duffles is more pebbled than the others, and I bought it directly from Coach.

Authentic Legacy north/south compartment. It does look a little shiny, either it's in good condition or someone polished it. I'm leaning towards the second option as I'm seeing black residue on the grommets and buckle. If it is shoe polish, good luck in removing it.

Another authentication request along with one from earlier… been browsing quite a bit today :)

Item: “Coach Vintage British Tan Crossbody Bag 9722”
Listing number: 134473471133
Seller and site where listed: chastorres on eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134473471133
Comments: this doesn’t look like a present day 9722 style from what I have googled. But the creed suggest that this is mid to late 70s (made in NYC) and thus the serial number doesn’t correspond to any specific style. Seller included photo of how it appeared in a Coach catalog from the era


Thank you in advance
