"Authenticate4U" is the only web service I recommend for Coach. But the best and least expensive, and usually the quickest, method is to have Coach products authenticated right here first. If you need a certificate or letter of authenticity for a claim, we can let you know whether or not it's worth spending money for a paid certificate as long as we know the situation.

Just because we don't charge any money for authentications doesn't mean that we don't know what we're doing. A large percentage of paid "professional" services are totally incapable of accurately authenticating Coach products including most of the most widely-known and -advertised sites,because they don't have experts dedicated exclusively to Coach who have decades of experience with the brand, ESPECIALLY with vintage Coaches, along with a large photo and text library AND other Coach experts who they can discuss questionable items with. We do.

Thank you so much for both answers as well as a detail reply! That's really great that there's this type of service on this forum:heart: I was just curious since I've seen a handful of vintage Coach sold with a certificate and was wondering if I need something like that if I end up wanting to sell a coach bag myself. So far though, I only have a handful that I found but I don't plan to keep them all in the long run. Anyways thanks so much again and have a wonderful weekend!

These 2 were also from the same local seller on Offerup. They seem good to me but then again I didn’t catch the red one so confirming. Thank you!

Both are genuine. The Station Bag was made in 1996. We would need measurements to try and identify the briefcase-type bag. It's from the late 1980s or early 1990s.

That moment right before you are going to ask for authentication and you realize you don’t need to :sad:

Bought from a local seller that listed on Offerup.
