Hello I was wondering if you guys can take a look at these bags. Purchased at my local thrift store
Bag one - 9017
Wallet no number -5 1/4" w x 3 1/2" h
Bag 3 9131
6.5" H X 6" L X 2" D
All three are fine. First is an Abbie zip, third is a Bellini zip. I don't know what the wallet is based on those measurements. The measurements you provided sound like a compact wallet but the pictures look like a full length.

Hi Authenticators, I'm not purchasing this, but wondered if someone could take a look at this listing from Japan. Is it "Rare" and "Unusual" because it's fake? Unless I overlooked markings, the only thing I see that says Coach is the hangtag.
Thank you.
Item: Rare Authentic Coach unusual design leather cosmetic pouch brown
Listing number: 325136311177
Seller: passion89m

Just found this one and the bag in both links look identical. Am I overlooking Coach markings on these bags?

I can't open the photos but the snap tab in the main photo doesn't look like anything I'm familiar with and the stitching on it is really bad.

Looking for some help authenticating this Coach tote. I *think* it's real, but the creed/serial number isn't evenly stamped (kinda hard to see in photos but part of it isn't as deep as the rest) making me think maybe it's fake. Purchased from Goodwill.

Hello Authenticators and Happy Friday!

Item: Manhattan - B7E-9107
Source: Thrift store purchase

Base length: 7"
Top length: 14"
Height: 12"
Drop: 13"

Kindly authenticate. Based on previous posts, I know you can confirm authenticity though you have limited details for this collection. With that in mind, if you have a name for this style I'd appreciate it; I've been referring to it as a Manhattan Zip Top Tote. In addition, might you be able to speak to the type of lining? It has a delicious velvet texture that I think might be a short nap suede.

Thank you in advance for your time and expertise!

It's from the 1997 Manhattan Collection but I've never seen it in a catalog and don't have any information on it. Maybe someone else does.
 
I have a second Coach I'm trying to authenticate. A Val Duffle purchased from Goodwill.

The top zipper, serial number prefix and stitching all worry me. I don't believe it's genuine. Every other "Coach" I've seen with that date and plant code combination in a handbag has been fake.

More opinions are welcome.

Thanks Hyacinth. I appreciate your expertise. Yup I had a bad feeling when I saw the stitching on the strap. Darn those counterfeiters. Thanks again for your help. :smile:
