Both are genuine.The second one is just called a POCKET PURSE, there is no confirmed record from Coach of any VINTAGE style with "Penny" in the name.

Genuine Willis made in 1998

Many thanks Hyacinth! Hope you're having a fab weekend!

Sorry, H9R- isn't a valid serial prefix. There's a problem with the plant code, and 1 or 2 other small but important problems..

Thank you! It looks like a really nicely made bag so maybe I'll cut off the coach markings and keep it for myself.

Hi friends. I was wondering if you guys can take a look at this bag. I know it’s not a vintage coach, just was wondering if you guys think it’s authentic.
Purchased at a garage sale over the summer
Measures 9" Width by 5" Height by 2"

Dear authenticators,
I have forgotten about this item that I wanted to bid on until 10 minutes before the bidding. I took a risk and bid on it. This is what school holidays do to me, my children are off for 2 weeks halfterm in the UK. Lol Would it be possible to check it before I pay for it? I always pay within 24 hours and I think Ebay rule is 48 hours.
Many thanks xxx

Good morning authenticators, I saw this at a thrift store but know nothing about Italy bags. Is this even real? Thanks

It's fine. You might find a made in stamp in the back of the flat section behind the zipper pocket. I've had some with and some wihtout it.

I believe that bag is fake.

I have records of showing a number of Sonoma bags (and non-Sonoma 4xxx fakes) with various plant codes claiming to be Italian made.

Please wait for @Hyacinth and @whateve to confirm or deny.

Hi there! I have been eyeing this red bag but was wondering if it’s worth it/authentic. It’s a long shot though, and I saw the literature in some earlier posts about being wary of sellers in Japan, so wanted to see if this one passes the criteria. Please help me in authenticating the bag below.

Item:

Auth Coach Shoulder Handbag Willis Plain Red 9927 Leather From Japan 230810​

Listing number: 235243010347
Seller and site where listed: The seller “Soulmate JAPAN” on the site eBay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235243010347?hash=item36c593792
Comments: It appears to be a red Coach Willis 9927 but the color in the photos make it look like a brick/tannish shade. See screenshots of the photos from the seller below.
