Hi, first time to post here.. Can someone please help me confirm if this Coach bag is fake or not? Bought this on ebay few months ago. My fault that I didn't ask for more photos; just bought this on impulse.. The seller posted close up photos of the bag, creed, and the care cards.. But when I received it, I had a feeling that it's fake - because of the hang tag appearance, thinness of stitching and the leather - even had this weird leather smell :( Thanks!!

It's a genuine Penelope Twill Bucket from 2001.

Oh my..I'm so happy! Thanks a lot!! I found it preppy and cute that's why I bought it. Just had doubts when I saw the stitches and compared it to other coach bags. Though the stitching and cut of leather is uniform throughout.. I almost cut the hangtag and thought of giving this away, out of my disappointment and ignorance haha. Are the early 2000 or older issues really like this? Well, thanks so much for your reply :) I am keeping this bag :D

The swaggers are extremely well-faked and more detailed pictures are needed for authentications.

The seller even mentions that the creed doesn't have a serial number but she neglects to include pictures of the serial number tag from the inside pocket as well as the country of origin label sewn into the seam on the lining.

Without detailed pictures, I don't recommend buying.

The seller has updated the ad for the Coach Swagger with more photos:)

Word on its authenticity would be appreciated.

You can't compare different Coach styles, you can only compare 2 or more versions of the SAME style.

Comments: Fake according to Hyacinth's fake list (DEJ prefix). Would you mind checking her other Coach bags? TIA

yes, it's fake. The tweed bag of hers looks fine. The brown suede one doesn't have a creed picture to authenticate. Report the green bag.

Good Evening everyone! I found a few possible Coach items that need authenticating if you would please?

Super Cute Watermelon change purse or ????

Measurements - 5 1/4" x 3"

I own

Links:









Comments: The thing that throws me is, it being white. It's small enough to hang like the key chains you guys collect. It is missing something at the end of the chain that is attached inside, I don't know what - guessing a key ring?


This one is maybe a makeup bag wristlet?

Measurements - 7 1/4" x 4"

Again I own:

Links:









Comments: I changed the snap on this because the pull down thing was broken. I know details like that are important when authenticating so I included the broken snap in one of the pictures.

Found these in a grabby bin at Goodwill. Paid 25 cents each.
