Hello, this is my first post and I hope I am using the correct format. I would like to authenticate a Coach Charles Messenger bag which I posted on eBay. Someone inquired on authenticity, as the creed does not have the serial number.

Item: Coach Charles Messenger Bag
Listing number: 325568931167
Seller and site where listed: PurseMania on Ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3255689311...x5HrNJ6RIS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Comments: I just found the tags inside the bag which states it was Made in India and No. E1644 F72362. (I have the wrong serial number on my listing and will update.) I attached a picture of the tag with serial number.

Your bag is fine.

Between 2014 and 2016-ish, some bags were made with the type of creed and white label as your bag has.

You may refer the buyer to this post.

There's no need to alter your post this time, but for the future, please keep the following in mind.

Although when a bag is alleged to be fake, sellers are allowed (at least on Coach) to post the sold listing here. But when a listing is still active, the post can be construed as advertising and self-promotion so it's better to just post pictures (when it's your own listing) rather than links to the listing.

Again, the bag is fine and the buyer has nothing to worry about with it.

My to be rehabbed pile is out of control so I’ve decided to prioritize checking authenticity and either starting work or letting go! First up are these two:

Brown tote found at local thrift shop- 11” across bottom, 5” deep, 10” tall
White Mia from same thrift shop- about 11” x 3” x 9”

Measurements approximate- both bags were pretty smashed flat

Both are genuine. The first is a Bleecker Basket style 9302 from 1998.

The second is a Daisy Foldover Convertible Satchel from 2013 but it looks like the long removable strap that lets you convert the style by folding over the top and carrying it by the long strap is missing.
 
Hello! Looking to authenticate this bag I got today. Thank you to anyone who is able to help!

Item: Vintage Bridle Satchel 1998
Where purchased or how obtained: Goodwill
Comments: It has definitely had some use, but feels like great material. Looked online and found the serial number on a bag someone else is selling in Japan for the another Bridle Satchel in a different color. I found it for only $8 so won't be disappointed if it's fake since it still feels great.

Not an authenticator, but I had the same bag in brown, also from a local goodwill. I paid $11, which I considered a huge "score!" And later sold the bag on ebay for quite a bit more. :smile: That textured area is pigskin. Really nice! If you want to compare to my bag which was authenticated. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/post-34539256
 
Hello! I just purchased this bag on Poshmark from @tamanthaw

https://posh.mk/t4v8kJAHzBb (also attached my screenshots of the 4 photos she posted)

She didn’t post a creed photo but I purchased quickly due to the low price and then messaged her to ask for a photo of the creed. She said it was already packed up to ship. This makes me worry some that it’s fake. I did clarify it is silver hardware. It looks a bit like a Willis or Station bag but photos aren’t the best and it has silver hardware so I’m not sure. I know it’s very hard to authenticate without the creed and her photos aren’t the best. But if you’re able to tell if it’s authentic I’d appreciate it. If you can’t tell, I completely understand and I’ll repost when I receive it with photos of the creed. I can return it within 3 days of receiving it if it’s fake so it’s ok if I have to wait until then. Thanks for your help!

I received this bag in the mail so can now share the creed (attached photo). See original post for seller info & link. Approximate measurements are 10.5” L x 3.5” W x 10” H. I see made in China and the serial number to me reads G13-9927. Is it authentic? Thank you!
