I also have one more that I would appreciate your expert eye over which I bought in a vintage shop -

Coach Station Bag - Mahogany?

Measures approx 9.5 x 9 inches and 2 inches wide. Apologies for poor creed photo - was very hard to capture. Didn't know Coach made bags in Turkey.

Many thanks in advance.

Authentic, made in 1997.

ETA: Yes, some bags are made in Turkey but many fakes say that they're made in Turkey also.

Wondering about the authencity of this bag. It's thrifted. I took a chance because the measurements, creed, and most features *seemed* right but the leather feels strange and the strap provided is incorrect for a 9755. (It has dogleash hardware, not a lobster claw.) Interior pocket is present but not shown.

9.5w x 5.75h x 2 deep.

Any insight would be much appreciated! TiA.

Oh I just found this saddle-colored bag previously authenticated here! The strap changing is OK from what I read here? I'm hopeful now!

AUTHENTICATE This COACH

Please post authenticity questions related to COACH in this thread.

Note: The PurseForum requests that only members with an extensive knowledge of the brand and authenticating who have over 500 posts participate as authenticators in this AT thread. The moderators reserve the right to remove authentications that do not meet these requirements.


Please follow the following rules:


  • Before you submit a request for authentication, please search this thread to make sure that the item has not previously been authenticated. This is not a thread to ask general questions about COACH, please refer to our main Coach forum for such information.
  • This is a free service, but it is imperative that you help our authenticators by using the following format:

    Item:
    Listing number:
    Seller:
    Link:
    Comments:


  • If the bag in question is not on an auction site, please use the following:

    Item Name (if you know it):
    Link (if available):
    Then attach any photos (all authentication must include photos.)
    • Please be sure to include a clear readable photo of the creed stamp and serial number from inside the bag or accessory if there is one, and the bag's measurements when the bag is an older or vintage leather Coach.
    • Since mid-2014, Coach stopped putting serial numbers on creeds so in newer bags where the creeds don't have serial numbers, we also need to see pictures of the labels/tags from inside the bag. They are either both in the main open part sewn into the seam of the lining, or one might be buried deep inside the zipper pocket. One shows where made and the other has a serial number.
  • Authenticators are not required to answer every request and it is their right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format.
  • Please note that comments on price and condition are NOT permitted.
  • Do NOT PM an authenticator or moderator to request authentication. Any and all such requests should be posted in this thread.
  • Should one of your items be questioned in this thread, you are welcome to provide additional pictures or materials supporting its authenticity.
  • Do not handle your disputes with other members in this thread but take your differences to Private Messages. Failure to do so can result in banning.

Hi, Y'all – First timer, hope I'm doing this right. Hoping to authenticate this Coach bag and get more information. I am the original owner, and I purchased this bag new sometime in the 1980's. The 80's are a tad foggy for me so maybe someone could help me out. The Creed stamp offers a serial number of: No 0438 226. Please see photos attached. Measurements are: 8"x8"x4". Thanks in advance for any and all info. Best, -Rochelle

Hello; this is my first time getting an authentication so I hope I'm doing it right?? So here goes!

Item:

Bonnie Cashin for Coach Bag Kiss Lock Tote Rare Salmon Pink Leather Vintage 1960s Pre Creed​

Listing number: Don't see one?
Seller and site where listed; - Monalisa Creations, ETSY
Link - <https://www.etsy.com/listing/955947637/bonnie-cashin-for-coach-bag-kiss-lock?click_key=877122dd83f0d78f30c75d0c887c246c75a788ab:955947637&click_sum=a76cb5a5&ref=related-2&frs=1>

Comments: Seller states " missing metal Coach tag". Has several beautiful 1960s "Bonnie Cashin for Coach" bags presently listed and sold, that look like brand new? Do you think she may be refurbishing them? She points out a few minor flaws, but they are mostly from use, like little pen marks and such, not from aging? Please be sure to check the other listings as well. They are quite the eye candy. I just hope they're not too good to be true? She seems to specialize in this particular line "Bonnie Cashin for Coach".

I'd love to purchase this, but my concern is I am aware of some recent counterfeiters that have been reproducing vintage Gucci bags for the last several years, that are identical to the 1980s Gucci bags, and the only thing that gives them away at times, is their condition, looking brand new with no signs of aging at all. The labels, serial numbers and even the materials are identical to the Genuine old style Gucci markings right down to the minor details on the shield symbol and it's pretty scary how good they are! So I'm wondering if they may be doing the same with vintage Coach now as well?? These would be so super easy to copy without any creeds, right?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this bag. Thank you

Bump?
Hello Authenticators, Did I do this wrong? Please let me know how to correct? Or perhaps this 'Bonnie Cashin for Coach' isn't a regular Coach bag and you don't do these?? Let me know please. Otherwise, I'd really love your opinion on this bag, especially since the Coach Metal plate came off. Thanks!

If no one answered, that's probably because none of us currently available know the answer. I suggest you wait for @whateve. Cashin items are a specialized knowledge and one that I don't get involved with, sorry.
