Serial No. B9G-9311

It's fake.

Been Burned, can you recommend the best authenticator for Vintage Coach in your opinion? I want to pay for an a certificate for 2 bean bag creed bags I have. I think they are authentic, anything is possible but many authenticators don't know the bean bags... TIA!

I used to recommend Authenticate4U but that's no longer the case. A4U has a long history of non-responsiveness to requests for authentications, even after they'd received payments. They used to be best contacted through their Facebook account but I don't know whether they're still responding. (I've had more than one instance with Fendi, Gucci and LV and never got replies.)

Sorry I can't offer more (or better) recommendations.

There are several companies I don't recommend and they've been mentioned here on TPF.

As for your bags with bean bag creeds, I'd recommend posting the pictures here to verify that they're genuine. It'd be a waste of money getting them authenticated if they're easily ID'ed as fake.

Please make a separate post for each bag especially when more than one bag is the same color, and for some reason I can't get any of them in your last post to enlarge. We need to be able to see the bag, serial number and creed details.

Apologies, here is the corrected post for authentication and year:

Thanks BeenBurned and Hyacinth.
These are all bags I already own. Yes I am a hoarder. I knew nothing about authentication when I obtained many of these, years ago.

I plan to photograph a bunch of bags over the holiday and post here for authentication - low priority because I already own these - and chip away at the pile. The 2 bean bag creed bags (Plaza and Scout) are in there somewhere, I'll see if they are real first like Hyacinth says.

It's fake.

Thanks Beenburned! I just saw this and wanted to thank you as well. Wishing you and everyone a happy holiday. 🎄

Hi authenticators and Happy Holidays to you. 2 questions: Is this real? And I notice the seller is using a coach catalog picture, and also has watermarked it with her store name. Is that ok to do that? Thanks! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1564152714/mint-navy-vintage-coach-chrystie-bag?click_key=354e199ee0c3e3142328f9de0c8a416a19623e77%3A1564152714&click_sum=bee0f522&ref=user_profile&cns=1&sts=1
