I think it's okay but would like another set of eyes to look at it.

I recently had the same item (for which I didn't have a style number) and on mine, the "Coach" logo is in a slightly different location, closer to the right side whereas yours is more centered.

I rotated your picture to show a comparison:

Has the second pair of eyes appeared and I missed it? :smile: Thank you for taking a peek! https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ee-first-post-for-format.889527/post-35733398
 
Authenticate this Coach Hampton hobo:

Hi everyone! I am in the process of purchasing this Coach Hampton Hobo from Depop and thought I would ask your opinions on its authenticity.

All the necessary pictures are in the listing, but let me know if you need me to upload separately. Not sure if this matters, but seller claims to have two of the bag to sell, which is what made me a little hesitant. I tried looking up the creed and it seems like other bags online have two additional numbers after “F30,” which I also felt unsure about.

Item: Coach Hampton Hobo
Creed: F30-7548
Seller and site: stephramirex on Depop
Link: https://www.depop.com/products/stephramirex-vintage-hampton-hobo-7548/

Thank you in advance if you get a chance to respond!

It's fine.
 
Just a note on a couple of the sellers.

I didn't look at every listing from either seller but found the following:

1. boxofhollyhocks mixes. She has this fake for $278:

2. Tootiescloset also mixes. In addition to the duffel sac that @whateve authenticated, she has this fake one for $235:

She also has this fake:
View attachment 5832276View attachment 5832275

Both sellers may have other fakes but I didn't go through all. Be careful on Etsy (and Poshmark) because they don't respond to reports of fakes and rarely (if ever) remove listings.
Thank you for the help! I had no idea there were so many fakes out there.
 
Good morning. I have found two bags in my possession that I would love to have authenticated. The first is a Turlock flap bag, made in NYC, pre-1994. It measures 11 1/2 x 7 1/2 x 3. No outside pockets. One full length zippered pocket inside with one open pocket under the flap. I have included a photo of the strap attachment. I have no expertise in these older flap bags. I purchased it at a church sale, so no listing to link to. It's in rough shape but, frankly, I love the look. I'm also trying to determine if it's a spectator style or if the age has resulted in the darkened trim. So, is it authentic? Any idea of which bag it is? Does the strap look original? Any idea if it can be a spectator style? Any of these answers would be helpful.464BB594-E450-49D0-9CF5-BF86C5D5A1D6.jpeg464BB594-E450-49D0-9CF5-BF86C5D5A1D6.jpeg0574F3D4-543C-4284-A3B7-966DE5749978.jpegC2A69F85-5E9C-4E9A-8B68-CB1F0C643CBD.jpeg05FA92BB-DEDD-4FC8-A462-5885EB2B54E8.jpegF70DDE7A-4A72-4060-8C0A-8B4CF7A103BD.jpeg02908D9D-0EB5-415F-8D9F-E0C68BC6B268.jpeg

Bag number two was originally from ebay, more than a year ago. The listing is no longer available and I can't locate the correct authentication here. I believe I had it authenticated at the time but wanted to ask again, just to be sure. I have a few others of this style, 4082 the large Soho bag, and the details of this one look good compared to the others. My only concern is the "H" plant in the US. Photos attached and fingers crossed.
