Hello!

Can you please take a look at this bag and let me know your thoughts on its authenticity. Coach pitched at Goodwill several years back. The stamp is from the USA and the code is 511-4736A4E98584-6DB2-4EB3-A247-8B2E02BE2756.jpeg

  • Item: Black Shelbourne 1998?
  • Listing number: E86-9038
  • Seller and site where listed: @jankro on Poshmark
  • Link: https://posh.mk/FzXOQpclGBb
  • Comments: I’m worried this one isn’t genuine as I purchased it awhile ago before I was fully aware of how many fakes there are and that this service is so helpful.

Please post either your photos or the seller's of the creeds and serial numbers.

Here’s the seller’s up close photo of the stewardess creed and number. Again the quality isn’t the best and I apologize. If needed I can post a better photo in a few days. Thanks.

Certainly. The seller’s photo is attached though is not the clearest. I can take a better one but not for a few days. Thanks so much.

The 9038 Shelbourne Flap is genuine, from 1998.

The Stewardess is genuine but has a creed mistake that we've seen before, the "X" in early 1999 was apparently a temporary plant with a "floater" code that was probably leased to make high-demand Stewardess re-issues that other plants couldn't handle. They were forced to use whatever creed stamp Coach sent them which in this case seems to be a stamp used for the Neo line describing that line's unique construction. We usually don't recommend buying bags with that kind of mistake for resale because a buyer might question the bag's authenticity.

Thank you for the information, Hyacinth! Much appreciated.
 
hi everyone! these are my first coach (? if they are real) bags i've purchased. i found them months apart at the same locally owned second hand store in a suburban area. i saw similar listings online for both items.... but i am no coach expert and don't easily trust online sellers. my best guess on the larger bag is an XL Garnet Ella Satchel and the little guy could be a Green Apple Pebble. let me know your thoughts and thanks for your time!
