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.

The first one is (I believe) an apple. There were several fruits, 2353 was watermelon, 2354 was lime and 2355 was an orange. I don't know the style number of your item.

It was a keyring that was attached, similar to how they're attached on a mini skinny. (See picture.)


The signature studded wristlet is fine. At first the clip threw me but then I read your description.

An APPLE!!! That makes a lot more sense. DUH!!!! :roflmfao:

Thanks BeenBurned! Maybe 2352 or 2356? When did they sell them do you know? I can't ever get that WayBack machine to work for me.

The Apple Coin Purse was style 8955, I think they were from 2005, give or take a year.

The Sig Tartan Swingpack or Crossbody and the Sig Optic Bee Demi(?) are also genuine., I'm just guessing on the names

Before you do anything else, you need to read all six Salearea Coach Guides posted at Ebay, especially the ones on Creeds, Serial Numbers and Authenticity Guides. They explain why Google is USELESS for authenticating and identifying vintage Coach bags. DON'T depend on it!

The bag is a genuine Collegiate, style 9815 from around 1989-1990

Unless it has changed recently, you receive a defect the moment a buyer opens a "not as described" return. It doesn't matter if the buyer is wrong. However, if you call ebay and get someone reasonable, they should remove it.

YES you are right you do get hit right away and it has happened to me, I did get a few removed but thank goodness this buyer did not formally open a case for SNAD and when I sent her the responses from this forum, she went away.:smile1:
Thanks Again to everyone here!
