Hi all!
New here! and hoping to get a few coach bags authenticated, please. I was unaware that there are vintage fakes out there!… 😒

This first one purchased years ago online so I don’t have sellers information etc.. this is was through Poshmark though.
The staining on this one was not there when I got it. And I’m not sure how it happened honestly seemed to come out of no where…will have to address that later.

These last two I just recently purchased but haven’t received (wish I had come across this forum before I did!)

One (2nd set of photos) was a purchased from Poshmark https://posh.mk/fnsHYKxmnFb
I think it’s a Willis? Serial number is 0200-219. The handle is missing and I was thinking I could fix it up. Skyloft is the seller.

The last one is from Etsy seller https://www.etsy.com/listing/1568631665/Tootiescloset serial number is J4C-5130 station bag

Really appreciate this forum and the vast knowledge!
Thank you so much for any help :smile:

The two briefcases appear to be genuine.

Am I only seeing one photo of the Station Bag? That's not enough to authenticate it.

Any time any poster asks about more than one bag or other item in the same post it's always recommended to use separate posts for items of the same color. It's too easy for photos to get scrambled. And there are limits to how many photos can be included in each post.

Hi! Can anyone tell me a little more about this one?

I know it is a remake of the original stewardess cause the numbers are more current than the 70s bag.

www.ebay.com

Vintage Coach Stewardess Shoulder Bag ~ Naturally Tanned Leather | eBay

Naturally tanned leather. Coach cleaned and polished the bag as much as they advised. Due to it being naturally tanned, they advise against polishing/conditioning it because the leather because move beautiful as it ages and is used.

Thank you!

Hi Authenticators, can someone please take a look at this lipstick case and share your thoughts? The pebbled leather (instead of the smooth leather) has thrown me off. If authentic, do you know the style number and year? Have a catalog photo to share?
I've added a photo of the made in stamp not included in the listing.
Thanks so much!

Hi, authenticators, I’d appreciate help with this Willis bag.
Platform: eBay
Seller: Palmbeachvault
Serial number on creed: 0582-149
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2760033104...gbA_SMBTwi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Comments:
1) I can see that the hardware attaching the crossbody strap is not original and conclude that the strap is a replacement.
2) This bag looks too shiny. Could that mean someone used shoe polish or some other (non-recommended) substance on it? I know you can’t really know, but what’s your hunch?

It's not a Willis. It's a station bag, 5130.

I agree that the bag looks pretty shiny and I'd definitely want to know what was used on it.

The strap isn't Coach and although it's fine to use a replacement strap, in a listing with a "no return" policy, it's in the seller's best interest to disclose that info because in not doing so, palmbeachvault is opening herself to a legitimate NAD (not as described) claim.
