You have an authentic bag.

Get the "YKK zipper" myth out of your brain. Zipper brand has NOTHING to do with authenticity.

For future requests, please refer to the yellow highlighted post at the top of each page of this thread with the required information that includes source and when an online listing, seller ID and a link to the listing.

Thank you very much, appreciate your time!

Good morning!
Let me just say I really appreciate you guys & your knowledge. So what's the verdict on this suede bag?? I think it's the real Mccoy but I've been wrong plenty

You've been on here long enough to know the rules. We need to know where you got it and if it is online, we need the seller's name and a link to the listing.

I resell bags and recently came upon this one. Looked okay but when I received it problems arose. Leather does not feel right, hangtag is lopsided and zipper not ykk. The only thing that is throwing me off is the Towanny front pocket snap. I am 90% sure I have a fake on my hands..could you verify my concerns? Thank you

Every post I haveever made on this forum should have my comments about the "YKK Myth" under it as my Signature. Please read it. The Salearea Coach Guides that I researched and published in Ebay's now-vanished Guides section was available as early as 2012 and available here at tPF starting in 2018 and includes a section specifically about that bogus and long-proven-as-fake "YKK Zipper Rule". Anyone using a zipper brand as proof of authenticity has probably made some serious mistakes and needs to stop using zippers to authenticate Coaches immediately. Please read and take these Guides seriously. ANY so-called "guide", internet blog, or other source claiming that Coach uses only YKK zippers and Coaches with different zipper brands are fake is seriously inaccurate and always has been and should be ignored, deleted or discarded. It's not worth the electrons it took to post or print it.

The YKK Zipper MYTH:

SaleArea guides

PAGE 2 THE CENTERED C RULE or THE C'S ARE PERFECTLY STRAIGHT RULE MOSTLY true, with plenty of exceptions. The center seam or a line down the front of a bag with Signature or Op Art C's should usually divide it into 2 halves that are mirror images of each other. But: Sometimes the back isn't...

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

If you are using the eBay app, you can get the link to the listing by click the arrow in the top right corner and then looking for the “copy link” option in the screen that pops up. Then you can paste that when writing a post

Thank u! Im technology challenged

It's important for us to have this information. It helps others so they can do a search on the forum. They'll be able to see if we have already authenticated the listing, and they can see if we have authenticated items from that seller before. It helps the authenticators so we can determine if there is a pattern to a particular seller's listings.

Hello. I would appreciate your help authenticating this item.

Item: Vintage coach bixby sling drawstring backpack chocolate/ brown

Seller and site where listed: shopgoodwill northern AZ

I bid last minute for the rambler. I did not look at the pictures in detail. I get impulsive. I think it looks good but I'm going to a vintage sale/swap in two weeks and want to sell the fabric ones or give them away but don't want to pass on counterfeit.

One is a very obvious, hall of shame fake bag. Which will go away. But I am not sure about the others. I think the black one is ok but I'm iffy on the brown one.

Thank you in advance.

It's easier to do it this way. I've attached a picture.

There are 3 items that are okay. The 2 tan ones are fake.

Good deal even with the fakes. The Rambler's Legacy is authentic. Both brown ones are fake. The rest look good.

Hello all! I'm checking the authenticity of this bag.

PM @STARGIRL465

I've never bought a lined bag or China made bag so I figured I'd try them both out together!

Thank you IA!

It's authentic. It was called a small slim duffle sac.
