My guess is that they're probably fake. It's a current item price at close to $100 on the Coach site and $52.50 on the Outlet site. Thus, the $20 price one of those "too good to be true" cases.

I've never seen Coach items with Gildan labels.

Other opinions are welcome!

ETA: This one is genuine:

Every genuine Coach t-shirt I've ever seen has a genuine and accurate Coach logo on the label. I've never seen any exceptions, regardless of seller's who claim otherwise, or who price their fakes in the same price range as the genuine Coach T's to convince gullible buyers that they're genuine.

Gildan, Jerzees and other well known brands sell to any Tom, Dick and Harry, I have several with various graphics (NOT Coach!) from CafePress sellers that were in the $20 to $30 range including graphics. A few years ago plain Jerzees were selling on Ebay for around $12.

Dear ladies, when you get a chance please look over these offerings...thanks in advance.
Item: COACH Women’s Handbags Studio Camila Bucket Bag Glovetanned Leather
Seller and site where listed: lbidigare on ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235076107705?hash=item36bba0bdb9:g:N6UAAOSwNOpkmiCE
Comments: I do not have time to check them all, but of the ones I checked none have a creed shown. Very suspicious to me. And all of them are "new" and pricey :(.

I wouldn't recommend that listing. As you pointed out, there's no creed shown and in the listing linked, 5 of the 9 pictures are stolen-from-Coach stock images which are no help in determining whether the lbidigare 's item is authentic.

Gah! I RARELY purchase anything on Ebay, but this bag sang to me! Sold by tmust2012 as a vintage Coach Saddlery bag--who I believe had no idea the bag had been PAINTED. Upon receipt Monday, I noticed the following: Paint on 75% of surface, strange (?) hardware behind turnlock, possible replacement zipper. Approx 9.5" wide, 8.5" high, 3" deep. Strap 49" long. No ext pockets. Full-length open pocket under flap. Interior has a full-length zip pocket. The bag looks horrible, as it has been stripped of paint and steamed. Sorry--I'm too tech challenged to be able to send Ebay link for listing.

I took the bag to a leather care guru, and he was able to remove the paint without color loss--yahoo!

Before I go to the painstaking job of reconditioning/buffing, I have questions:

Authentic? Has zipper been replaced? Hardware behind turn lock?

It’s genuine but I’ll wait for someone else to name the style.

It'sa Saddlery Bag, made around 1986, give or take a year either way.

Replaced parts on older bags isn't unusual. But actual painting, shoe polish,etc should ALWAYS be disclosed.

Hope your restoration is successful!
